The People Behind AddHR
We are a team of HR experts, recruiters, and consultants dedicated to helping businesses grow, stay compliant, and build stronger teams. We're more than HR professionals — we're people who care about people.
Experts who care
Rachel Gomez
Rachel is an HR and Business Consultant with over 20 years of experience in executive recruiting and national talent acquisition. She brings deep expertise in business management, professional development, operations, and compliance — helping organizations of all sizes optimize their HR processes, implement best practices, and manage large-scale staffing initiatives, including high-volume seasonal hiring, onboarding programs, and employee record systems.
What sets Rachel apart is her focus on the bigger picture. She works with business owners and leadership teams on hiring as a strategic business decision — one that directly impacts company culture, employer brand, employee morale, and long-term retention. In a competitive market, the right people strategy isn't just an HR function; it's a differentiator that can set an organization apart from everyone else in their industry.
In today's environment — marked by widespread layoffs, workforce restructuring, and organizational uncertainty — Rachel also brings critical expertise in change management. She helps companies navigate transitions with clarity and compassion, protecting culture and maintaining trust with employees during some of the most challenging moments a business can face.
For businesses not ready for a full-time HR hire, AddHR offers fractional and retainer-based HR services — giving you senior-level expertise exactly when you need it, at a fraction of the cost of an internal department.
Rachel also specializes in implementing and customizing CRM and ATS platforms, tailoring each system to fit the specific workflows and culture of the businesses she serves. Her compensation analysis work helps clients build competitive, equitable pay structures that attract and retain top talent.
Her client roster spans Fortune 500 global consumer brands, leading nonprofits, and fast-growing startups, with a track record of successful direct-hire placements across multiple industries — with a particular focus on director-level and executive leadership roles.
