Who We Are
At Cultivate Consulting, LLC, we believe that people are the foundation of every successful organization. Founded by Jylisa Scruggs, SHRM-CP, we bring a rare combination of backgrounds to our work — operational leadership, behavioral psychology, and HR expertise — that lets us empower startups, SMBs, and growing organizations to reach their full potential.
What this means for you: we don't just build HR systems. We build people strategies grounded in how organizations actually operate and how people are actually wired. Our tailored solutions combine fractional HR leadership, strategic HR consulting, executive and career coaching, and recruiting strategies designed to drive growth and achieve sustainable success. We leverage behavioral science and data-driven insights to enhance employee experiences, streamline processes, and align talent with business goals.
What sets us apart is our strategic partnership approach — we collaborate closely with clients to deliver solutions that address immediate needs while building the foundation for long-term growth.
At Cultivate Consulting, we don't just consult — we cultivate growth, people, and potential.

Our Approach
Every engagement at Cultivate Consulting begins with listening. We take the time to understand your business, your culture, and your goals before we recommend a single solution. From there, we build strategies that are practical, data-informed, and designed to last.
We believe great HR isn't about policies and paperwork — it's about building the people infrastructure that allows your business to grow with confidence.
