I chose to work with Ovation HR because I found myself in a transition without a CHRO and wanted to take the time to find the right person for our team and organization, rather than feeling pressure to hire quickly. Amanda has supported us across a range of needs. She provides quick, thoughtful guidance on complex issues, meets with our HR Generalist to help navigate day to day work, and partners with me to think through decisions in a way that aligns with our values and strategic direction. She has made things significantly less stressful by being responsive, clear, and steady. I know I can reach out and get grounded, practical guidance without delay. What gave me confidence that I was in good hands was her ability to balance professionalism with real understanding of our work. She brings both expertise and a calm, thoughtful approach to every situation. I would absolutely recommend Ovation HR. Amanda has been a trusted partner during a time when we needed both support and space to make the right long term decisions.

I have worked with Amanda for a few years. She is the HR manager for one of the fastest growing tech companies in Montana. Her attention to detail and compliance conscious is that of a 30 year Human resource veteran. Her ability to adapt and evolve to the ever changing landscape of healthcare is incredible. Her communication, effectiveness and approach-ability is what makes her effective. Amanda is a devoted team player, and wants the best for the employees she works with. I would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for a Human Resource manager that will exude the attributes mentioned above.

She is driven, organized and people centered. She has a solid background in HR as well as an indepth understanding of the business environment. She has also become a great resource for me as a colleague and friend.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda for almost two years - she was the People Ops Specialist when I was hired into my current role as EA. She is a real team player, always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done and help in any way she can. Whilst she is highly professional she also has a wicked sense of humour and is super friendly and warm. She was an integral part of the team which developed an amazing culture in a company where most people work from home, and are split over 3 continents - no mean feat! I have enjoyed working with her immensely and would jump at the chance to do so again. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda to any future employer.

When I worked with Amanda she was our People Operations Manager. Most in the company worked remotely although I worked in one of our manufacturing facilities with 10+ people. It was a testament to Amanda's ability to connect that most in the facility would contact Amanda directly with questions and concerns, or just a friendly chat. She was always very accessible and knowledgeable. I had several personnel meetings that Amanda attended remotely. Each time, no matter the subject, everyone left the meeting knowing exactly the path forward due to Amanda's clear and concise messaging combined with care and compassion. I also had the pleasure of a couple of on site visits. Amanda was comfortable speaking to the group or individually. It would be my pleasure to work with Amanda again if the chance arises.

Amanda worked directly for me at multinational tech startup SoftIron for two years in People Ops during a period of rapid scaling. From our first interaction and beyond, she shone as a confident and genuine communicator, effortlessly building rapport in person, via video conference, and over the phone. Amanda is adept in all facets of human resources, having both built teams and operated as a solo HR specialist, gaining invaluable experience from being thrown in the deep end. She navigated onboarding, offboarding, recruitment, and benefits administration with ease, across multiple jurisdictions, time zones, and cultural norms. Amanda’s strong work ethic and quick adaptability allowed her to excel in coordinating web and video production to enhance company communication, learning on the job while keeping the team organized and efficient. She infused her creative flair into this work, applying her exceptional skills in team engagement and communication. In addition to maintaining smooth day-to-day operations—a significant achievement in the fast-paced startup environment—Amanda accomplished several notable feats during her tenure at SoftIron: • Systems Implementation: She successfully implemented a new automated communication workflow tool, enhancing personalized communication throughout employee experience journeys and allowing for a more focused, individualized approach for team members. • Event Planning and Management: Amanda coordinated, managed suppliers, and hosted four-day annual virtual conferences, featuring video and web content, along with engagement activities that spanned the entire event. • Team Engagement and Facilitation: She produced and led regular virtual team engagement activities for gatherings of over 30 team members across multiple sessions. Amanda is calm, reliable, and trustworthy, with the tenacity to see tasks through to completion. She is receptive to feedback, highly self-aware, and does not shy away from tough conversations, whether initiating them, receiving them, or preparing and supporting a leader for them. I cannot recommend Amanda more highly for any role she wishes to pursue.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Amanda for many years, and I can confidently say, there's no better person to lead a company like Ovation HR. She brings the perfect balance of strategy, compassion, heart, and clarity to every challenge and always puts people first while driving real results. Any business would be lucky to have her guiding their people operations.

Amanda Fisher is truly one of a kind. She is smart, professional, innovative, and positive to name just a few. If Amanda notices something can be done differently she creates new, effective. and streamlined ways of getting things accomplished that best serves her team and clients. She is an absolute joy to work with and any company would be lucky to have Amanda join their team.

Amanda is definitely one of the best people I have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable and dedicated to her role, while being the utmost of a people person to everyone she engages with. I will miss working with her terribly and wish her ever my success for whatever comes her way.

Amanda is professional, smart and a joy to work with.

She was incredibly professional, hardworking and continually went above and beyond in her work. But in addition, she was very personable and did an amazing job at supporting fellow employees. Not only did she handle things with tact and care, but provided valuable guidance and support to many. She was the glue that held the company together!

Amanda is extremely personable and has the unique ability to connect with all of her clients and colleagues. She is extremely knowledgable in her field and has continuously proven herself as a strong resource to others. I have not known a challenge that Amanda did not take on and excel at finding a solution to. I would highly recommend her for any position and if given the chance to work with her again in the future I would.

She is thorough and ensures she asks questions to make sure tasks are completed timely and as expected. Amanda pitches in where necessary and does it all with a smile and positive attitude.
