Your Partner in Human Capital.
We help growing and established businesses plan their workforce, strengthen leadership, make better people decisions and build the HR capability required for sustainable growth.
From workforce planning and leadership development to psychometric assessment and strategic HR advisory, Level Up provides practical Human Capital support aligned to the needs of the business.
Workforce. Leadership. Assessment. HR.

People challenges rarely exist in isolation.
A visible symptom rarely sits where it appears. Treating each one on its own tends to address the symptom rather than the cause, so we start by understanding how the pieces connect.
Performance concerns
Often a leadership capability or role clarity question before it is an individual one.
Retention pressure
Often tied to management capability and the HR frameworks that support it.
Difficulty filling roles
Often a workforce planning question before it becomes a search question.
Hard people decisions
Often need evidence beyond a CV and an interview, used as one input to the decision.
Not sure where the issue sits? Start with a Human Capital Diagnostic.
Human Capital, organised around the problem.
Four areas of practical support for the people side of a growing business. Each is scoped to the business, not sold as a menu of line items.
Built for businesses where people complexity has outgrown informal solutions.
As organisations grow, workforce decisions, leadership capability and HR issues often become more complex. Level Up provides specialist Human Capital support when informal people practices are no longer enough.
Growing leadership layers
New managers and new layers of leadership need more than informal guidance to work well.
Unclear roles
When roles and responsibilities blur, accountability and performance usually follow.
Management capability gaps
Strong specialists are promoted into management before the capability to manage has been built.
Succession risk
Critical roles and critical knowledge sit with too few people.
Salary complexity
Pay decisions that were once simple now need consistency and evidence behind them.
More complex HR issues
Performance, employee relations and employment equity questions arrive faster than internal capacity.
A need for deliberate workforce planning
Growth is outpacing the informal plan, and the next stage needs capability planned rather than assumed.
Level Up provides specialist Human Capital capability without requiring you to build every function internally.
Build the workforce your strategy requires.
Start with a clear view of the capability you have and the capability the strategy needs. From a Workforce Health Check to succession and development planning, the work is scoped to the business.

What clients say about the HR and psychometric work.
These testimonials relate to work delivered by our specialist HR and psychometric partner, Elevate Talent Success, not to historical Level Up delivery.
"Helped me and my company through many processes with insights that provided lessons for us. Professional, diplomatic and insightful, and particularly great with communication."
"I cannot recommend Nadia highly enough. I contacted her urgently for help with a performance appraisal and the correct HR procedures — she responded almost immediately and had professionally drafted documents ready within the hour. Her expertise is outstanding, and her advice is consistently spot on. I have already engaged her for a further project."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Nadia on various talent initiatives for over 5 years, and I cannot recommend her expertise highly enough. She is exceptionally skilled in industrial psychology, psychometric assessments, and broader HR strategy. Any business that partners with Elevate Talent is placing their HR solutions in the absolute best hands."
When the answer is external leadership talent.
