Perch rapidly scaled and quadrupled in size, including hiring 80+ employees in one day. The company lacked an HR department during this growth. At the same time, it risked overpaying for acquisitions without deeper operational diligence. This created pressure to quickly add HR leadership while improving M&A decision-making. Perch used an on-demand expert network to bring in specialized talent and analysis. They hired an HR leader quickly to stand up foundational people operations. The HR leader created Perch’s first parental leave policy and helped secure legal operating authority across multiple states. Perch also engaged an expert analyst to evaluate a manufacturer’s inventory during an acquisition process. The inventory analysis revealed the manufacturer’s inventory was valued at $3M rather than $5M. This insight saved Perch $2M on the acquisition for a project cost of $9,185, delivering a 21,675% ROI. Perch also accelerated hiring by finding an HR leader within hours and starting them shortly after. The team reduced a 46-day hiring timeline to 2 days and secured legal operating authority in 10 states within 2 months.
