About Scalemaker HR

Stacey Kay, MHR, SPHR, SHRM-SCP

Founder, Scalemaker HR

Stacey founded Scalemaker HR around a simple idea: growing businesses deserve great HR long before they are large enough to build a full HR department.

For many growing businesses, HR develops a piece at a time. Payroll is in one system, recruiting in another, employee records somewhere else, and responsibilities are spread across owners, managers, and administrative staff. It works—until growth makes it difficult to manage.

That's where we come in. We start with the biggest issues first, so help shows up right away, and we only build what you need next.

Our consulting work is supported by Scalemaker HRis, the HR platform built specifically for growing businesses. We bring your people processes and technology together in one system, designed around how your business actually operates.

At Scalemaker HR, we help growing businesses build the people, processes, technology, and leadership practices they need to scale successfully. Our goal isn't to create dependence on outside consultants. We want to leave your organization stronger, your managers more capable, your systems more connected, and your business prepared for what comes next.

Experience Behind the Approach

Stacey brings more than 25 years of HR experience leading HR functions in growing, multi-site organizations. His work includes building HR departments from the ground up, leading People Operations, developing HR teams and leaders, implementing HR systems, and navigating the people challenges that come when headcount and locations multiply.

He has led HR operations across multiple states and locations, supporting organizations with hundreds of employees. That experience provides a practical understanding of what works as businesses grow—and where informal HR processes begin to break down.

Stacey holds a Master of Human Resources and the SPHR and SHRM-SCP certifications.

That experience shapes how we work today.

Growing businesses rarely need more HR noise. They need practical processes, capable managers, and systems that make work easier as the company scales.

We want your employees to know what's expected of them, your managers equipped to lead them, and your HR systems and processes built to support the business as it grows.

Building better organizations for what comes next.

Stay as long as we fit. Graduate when you outgrow us.
