      After a year of debates stakeholders cannot agree on HR strategy, goals and type of corporate culture. HR department was cancelled. It was stated that "company requires just isolated recruitment function". I was astonished, but who cares?- Executing recruitment routine;- Ad-hoc consulting. - Initiation of structural and organized HR activities. - Rationalization of hiring process and internal career planning for current employees. - Internal consulting/mentoring/coaching. - SCRUM mastering.- Assistance for business and system analysis proliferation. - Member of process improvement team. Streamlining and establishing rational managerial practices to achieve gradual quality improvement of SW development, support and delivery processes inside the organization.- SCRUM mastering (proof of concept that Agile do work, small product dev. team);- Internal education and consulting (management-related);- Mentoring.
