Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Purciarele.
Hi Amy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve spent over 30 years in Human Resources, working with businesses of all sizes and industries, but I’ve always been especially drawn to small businesses — the ones where people wear multiple hats, build relationships that feel like family, and genuinely care about their teams.
After years of helping organizations navigate compliance, growth, and culture from the inside, I realized there was a real gap in the market: small businesses needed HR support that was custom, approachable, and free of the corporate fluff. That realization led me to take a leap of faith and start Purciarele Group, built on one simple promise — We love HR so you don’t have to™.
Purciarele Group provides fractional HR services, handbooks, audits, policy development, and compliance consulting — but at the heart of it all, our focus remains the same: creating positive workplace cultures where both businesses and employees can thrive.
Every client relationship means something to me — it’s about more than just checking boxes. It’s about helping people solve real problems, grow confidently, and build workplaces they’re proud of.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road — but it’s been a rewarding one. Coming from corporate HR, I had to completely re-learn how to network, market myself, and build relationships in a way that felt authentic. Networking wasn’t part of my corporate world, but it quickly became the heartbeat of my business.
I also had to learn how to merge the personal and professional sides of who I am — showing the real Amy, not just the HR professional. Once I did that, everything changed. People connected not just with my expertise, but with my authenticity and passion for helping others succeed.
Every challenge — from figuring out small-business operations to building brand visibility — has helped me grow into a better leader, consultant, and community partner.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
At Purciarele Group, we specialize in helping small businesses build the HR foundation they need to grow with confidence. We provide fractional HR services, compliance support, policy development, and handbook creation — all customized to fit each client’s unique structure, culture, and goals.
We’re known for being the “nice HR folks” — approachable, responsive, and genuinely invested in the people behind every business. Our work is about more than policies and paperwork; it’s about helping business owners create workplaces where both employees and leadership can thrive.
What sets us apart is that everything we do is fully personalized — no cookie-cutter templates or one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe HR should make your life easier, not harder, and we take pride in translating complex compliance into practical, real-world tools that actually work.
What I’m most proud of is hearing clients say, “You made this so much easier,” or “You’ve changed the way I think about HR.” That’s the heart of Purciarele Group — combining expertise, empathy, and humor to take the stress out of HR so our clients can focus on doing what they do best.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
The HR landscape is changing faster than ever — and over the next 5–10 years, I see that pace only accelerating. Technology, flexibility, and culture will continue to redefine how people work and how businesses manage their teams.
We’ll see more automation in compliance and payroll, but also a stronger demand for the human side of HR — empathy, emotional intelligence, and communication. Small businesses, in particular, will rely more heavily on fractional and outsourced HR support to stay compliant and competitive without the overhead of a full-time department.
Another major shift will be in how employees define success. People are prioritizing balance, values, and purpose more than ever, which means businesses that invest in culture and connection will win the long game.
At Purciarele Group, we’re already building around that future — blending technology with a people-first approach, so small businesses can grow with confidence while keeping their culture intact.
