SkyFi
EMBEDDED HR THAT ACCELERATES SCALE
SkyFi boosts hiring velocity and operational maturity with Amplēo HR
INTRODUCTION
SkyFi is an Earth intelligence company delivering satellite imagery and AI-driven geospatial analytics to government and commercial clients worldwide. As a fast-moving pre-Series A startup, SkyFi needed to scale rapidly—but without the overhead and delay of hiring a full-time HR team. That’s where Amplēo came in.
CHALLENGE
As SkyFi approached a critical inflection point in its growth, CEO Luke was faced with a classic startup dilemma: hire a full-time HR team or stay lean and outsource to a trusted partner. The business needed structure, talent acquisition, and onboarding—fast—but without the overhead of full-time salaries, equity, and training.
The internal team didn’t yet know if they needed one person or five, but they knew they needed expert help right away.
SOLUTION
Amplēo HR embedded directly into SkyFi with Leslie, a hands-on HR expert who operated like a true team member from day one. She joined team Slack channels, integrated into day-to-day operations, and immediately earned trust.
Leslie handled:
- Candidate sourcing and interview coordination
- Job description development
- Onboarding and offboarding processes
- Structuring HR systems to support scale
She even introduced a structured onboarding experience across departments—helping elevate SkyFi’s people ops from early-stage chaos to a repeatable, professional experience.
RESULTS
Faster hiring: HR systems optimized to attract and onboard top talent
Stronger product velocity: Faster hiring led to faster delivery for customers
Team integration: Amplēo felt like part of the team, not an external resource
Capital efficiency: Expert support without the cost of full-time hires
CLIENT QUOTE
“It was everything I hoped for. Amplēo HR came in and nailed it—trusted, organized, and incredibly capital efficient. Within a day, we saw the difference.”
— Luke, Co-Founder & CEO, SkyFi
CONCLUSION
For a startup scaling at speed, Amplēo HR delivered exactly what SkyFi needed: expertise, efficiency, and execution. By embedding directly into the team, Amplēo helped SkyFi stay lean, scale fast, and build the people infrastructure needed for long-term success.
