The right people.
The right foundation.
Helping growing companies hire exceptional talent and build the people infrastructure needed to scale.
Every growing company hits roadblocks.
Eventually, every founder starts saying things like this...
Hiring is taking over my actual job.
You're spending more time recruiting than running your business.
We need help building the right team.
Finding the right talent takes more than filling open roles. We'll bring the strategy, expertise, and execution to help you build the right team.
Our People strategy has been... DIY.
The systems that got you here won't support where you're going.
We need People expertise.
Build the people systems, processes, and structure your business needs to grow with confidence.

Building a growing business is hard enough. Building the team behind it shouldn’t be.
Hi, I'm Kayla Florence, founder of Culture Impact.
I've spent my career helping startups and growing businesses hire exceptional talent, build People functions from the ground up, and create the infrastructure that helps teams scale. As both a Head of People and Founding Recruiter, I've seen firsthand what it takes to build and scale a successful business.
That's the foundation Culture Impact was built on. The right people and the right foundation are the backbone of every successful business.
Whether you need help hiring exceptional talent, establishing your People function, or tackling a strategic initiative, my goal is simple: help you hire the right people, build the right foundation, and equip your business with the People expertise it needs to scale.
