What our Clients are saying

  • "Cool Hand caught and corrected a misclassification issue in our workforce that we didn't even know we had. If the Department of Labor would have found it instead, we would have been looking at years of back pay and potential litigation. That alone paid for their retainer ten times over."

    - Robert H., Phoenix, AZ -

  • "We had a disruptive warehouse supervisor we'd been trying to let go for eight months because nobody had documented anything properly. Cool Hand came in, set up a real performance management process, worked through it with us over the following weeks, and by the time we made the decision there was nothing to dispute. I felt like we could finally breathe again."

    - Jennifer K., Oakland, CA -

  • "We had never had a formal onboarding process. Every new hire's first week was basically whoever had time that day showing them around and hoping for the best. We were losing people in the first month and couldn't figure out why. Cool Hand built out the whole process and the difference was obvious almost immediately. Now, our last four hires are all still with us."

    - Jerome P., Las Vegas, NV -

  • "One of our long-term employees filed a harassment complaint against a manager we trusted completely. I didn't know who to believe and I didn't know what to do. Cool Hand came in, ran an impartial investigation, and gave us a clear picture of what actually happened. We made the right call thanks to them. I don't think we could have gotten there on our own."
