HR Professionals
Kim Giangrande
SPHR, GPHR, SHRM-SCP
I love my job. Every day I get to work with amazing companies helping them to build their business and increase profitability through the development of effective HR programs.
My background is a solid mix of customer service, operations, human resources & leadership. This is a critical differentiator for iHR that provides our clients with insights that go far beyond the basics.
Having served on several executive teams I have hands on experience in dealing with complex business challenges, creating successful strategic programs, and creating the teams and projects that effectively execute on these initiatives.
While I am very proud of my credentials and accomplishments, I believe deeply that it is my blue collar background and experiences that truly define me and my style. I have intentionally created the iHR culture to be a combination of books smarts and streets smarts. We believe in common sense approaches to resolving problems. We recognize that the world of HR & business is not black & white, but shades of gray. With this in mind we balance our knowledge of HR with the business needs of the organization. Give us a shot, you won’t regret it.
Tom Kaminski
SPHR
I am a Human Resource Consultant with over 15 years of experience in small, medium and large sized organizations. My approach to consulting is with the understanding that the human resources function is there to support the goals of the organization and its people.
I work with my clients to develop real solutions to real people challenges that work in the real world. Whether it is finding that next special leader to steer the organization, helping to foster a culture that is entrepreneurial or support basic HR compliance & processes.
I earned a Master’s degree in Human Resources and Organizational Development as well as the sought after certifications of Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and the Senior Certified Professional (SCP). I am looking forward to working with you to improve your organization’s Human Resource function.
Stephanie Cheney
Human Resource Consultant
I'm an HR Consultant bringing 10 years of general human resources and recruiting experience to the team.
I have supported clients in a variety of industries including insurance, financial services, travel and retail in areas including employee relations, talent acquisition, internship program development and process improvement. Although I enjoy working within all areas of human resources, I am drawn to the world of employee relations due to the required delicate balance of legal, moral and ethical standards. Each situation is different and nothing is ever black and white!
I earned my Master’s Degree in Human Resources and Employee Relations from Penn State, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Vermont. I am currently studying to take the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification exam through the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI).
I have been lucky enough to find my passion within the world of human resources and am even luckier to have found an incredible company that shares that passion.
