About

My name is Jillian Majka

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping growing companies build strong, people-first foundations—handling everything from hiring and culture to performance and leadership development.

My Story

I’m a practical, people-first HR leader who believes that strong teams don’t just happen—they’re built with intention, clarity, and a whole lot of care. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve helped startups, small businesses, and scaling organizations navigate the messy, meaningful work of hiring, developing, and retaining great people.
 

I bring a calm, roll-up-my-sleeves energy to everything I do—whether I’m rebuilding an HR function after a period of turnover, coaching a founder through their first big hire, or designing scalable systems that actually work. I’ve led HR during rapid growth, M&A, cultural transformation, and just about every kind of pivot a team can go through.

As the founder of JamHR, I now support mission-driven companies as a fractional Head of People—offering strategic HR leadership without the full-time cost.

 

I thrive in fast-moving environments, love simplifying the complex, and take pride in being both a trusted advisor and a steady operator.

When I’m not helping teams thrive, I’m likely baking bagels, wrangling teenagers, or enjoying time with family.
