Everyone deserves a seat at the table.
We help organizations hire well, run smoothly, and build cultures and communities where people want to stay.
Seats for nonprofits, small businesses, churches, hotels, schools, corporations, community groups, healthcare, restaurants, foundations, startups, and yours.
Our mission
Common Table Group partners with businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations of every size to build workplaces and communities where everyone has a seat at the table. Through HR and talent strategy, hospitality and operations, and community engagement, we help organizations bring the right people together, create cultures of belonging, and grow stronger together.
Our vision
A world where every organization is a common table: a place where people are welcomed, valued, and equipped to thrive, and where workplaces and communities flourish because everyone belongs.

Ways to work together
Clear scopes, clear deliverables. Every engagement starts with a free conversation about what you actually need.
Fractional HR Partner
A dedicated HR partner for a set number of hours each month: employee relations, policy updates, onboarding, manager coaching, and the questions that come up every week. Includes a monthly check-in with your leadership.
Recruitment Sprint
From job description to signed offer: a sourcing plan, an equitable screening rubric, candidate outreach, interview coordination, and offer support. Discounts when you hire for several roles at once.
Culture & Belonging Assessment
A staff survey, listening sessions, and leadership interviews, followed by a findings report and a 90-day action plan you can actually carry out. Written to fit capacity-building grant requests.
Workshops & Trainings
Manager trainings, hospitality and service standards, handbook overhauls, and board briefings on HR and culture.
