At CoreBridge HR, we help mission-driven teams build workplaces where people and purpose thrive side by side.

We’re a small but mighty group of HR professionals who believe in meeting organizations where they are — whether that’s building HR foundations from scratch, modernizing policies, or navigating complex people challenges with empathy and clarity.

Founded by Art Cruz, SHRM-CP, LSSGB, CoreBridge HR brings over a decade of hands-on HR experience across nonprofits, startups, and values-driven organizations. Our team blends strategic expertise with a human touch, partnering with leaders to strengthen culture, ensure compliance, and design people practices that truly work in real life — not just on paper.

We know that HR isn’t just about policies and checklists; it’s about people. That’s why everything we do is grounded in care, equity, and practical support. Our goal is to help you focus on your mission, while we help you build the structure, clarity, and confidence to grow sustainably.
