Anything HR

What Anything HR does

Anything HR is a Sydney-based Human Resources consultancy that provides outsourced HR services to businesses lacking in-house HR teams. Founded around 2016-2017, the firm operates across Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Asia Pacific region, serving clients in verticals including investment banking, professional services, IT & telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, retail, supply chain, and FMCG. The company's core offerings span the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, change management, performance management, training and development, employment relations, organization development, compensation and benefits, and policy development. Senior consultant Lily is repeatedly cited as the relationship anchor, with multiple enterprise clients maintaining engagements of seven or more years.

The business operates on a professional services model with no proprietary technology platform. Services are delivered under flexible engagement structures — weekly/monthly retainers, annual contracts, ad-hoc consultations, and project-based consulting — and can be provided onsite at the client's premises, offsite from the consultancy's offices, or as a hybrid arrangement. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company also maintains a candidate registration portal to support its recruitment-placement services, and posts current vacancies on its website.

Anything HR is a privately held, founder-owned firm with approximately 10 employees and no external funding disclosed. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by direct outreach, referrals, and organic website presence. The company has no subsidiaries, no public listing, no patents or trademarks, and no formal partnerships. Key named customers include a global investment bank, a leading global outsourcing provider, a creative digital marketing firm, and a leading global FMCG brand. The website has not been substantively updated since 2017, and there are no visible signals of recent expansion, modernization, or technology investment.
