HR Consultant in San Diego

About HR Jungle LLC

HR Jungle was founded in 2006 by C.J. Westrick to provide human resources services to small companies. Eventually, we realized size wasn't the common factor of our clients... it's that most of our clients don't need full-time internal HR but want senior level expertise, regardless of size.

After more than 16 years in business, we are pleased to have a long list of clients in a variety of industries and look forward to helping even more. Basically, our goal is to provide management teams and business owners with workable solutions and hands-on assistance with your employees and legal compliance through outsourced human resources solutions.

Human resources is a field that requires constant education and the ability to manage change. Every year more state and Federal employment laws are introduced. Human resources professionals must understand, implement, and explain these laws to ensure compliance and to understand the latest best practices. Networking with other professionals, continuing education in our fields, being an active member of relevant associations, and obtaining and maintaining professional certifications are methods our staff has used to keep their knowledge up-to-date. Let us know how we can use our knowledge to help you and your company.

C.J. Westrick, SPHR, Founder and Senior HR Consultant

C.J. has been involved in human resources management and consulting since 1990. She has a bachelor's degree in business management and has had her SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) national certification since 2002. People often ask what the SPHR means and it's easiest to say it is the HR equivalent of an accountant's CPA. This certification provides you with the confidence that C.J. has successfully proven her HR knowledge and must continue to learn to maintain the certification. According to a 2009 Workforce.com article, less than 5% of the approximately 820,000 HR professionals in the United States are SPHR-certified.

Her experience is very hands-on, so any suggestions or opinions offered on this website or in anything she writes is based on practical experience and use. She has built HR departments from nothing and improved processes in other companies. Having worked inside both mid-size (1,750 employees) and small companies (25+ employees), C.J. can honestly say that she has experience in all aspects of human resources. As a consultant, C.J. has had the pleasure of working with numerous industries. This has enhanced her knowledge and ability to provide creative solutions for clients. The combination of C.J.'s knowledge of business and her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration gives her the ability to provide creative and workable solutions for clients.
