Nick Anisimov is the Founder of FirstHR, an employee onboarding platform for US small businesses. After running three companies and hiring across all of them, he kept hitting the same problem: new hires got lost in their first weeks, and the only tools available were glorified to-do lists that did nothing actually to onboard someone. He built FirstHR to replace that with a real onboarding system that small businesses can set up in minutes without needing HR staff. Nick is a serial entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and scaling companies from scratch. Before FirstHR, he founded Helmeton, a VR training platform that reached $1M ARR, and previously ran a marketing agency that expanded to 70 cities with 2,000 distribution points. He also built and operated Sintez, a VR entertainment company that hosted 300+ events and served 50,000+ visitors over four years. His expertise covers employee onboarding, HR for small businesses without dedicated HR staff, hiring and retaining talent at growing companies, bootstrapping SaaS products, and building teams as a solo founder. He has personally hired, onboarded, and managed people across every company he has built, giving him a hands-on perspective that comes from operating, not advising. FirstHR was named Product Hunt Product of the Day in both 2023 and 2025. Nick is available as a source on topics including employee onboarding, small business HR, entrepreneurship, bootstrapping, solo founding, hiring challenges at small companies, and using AI to simplify business operations.

Hi, I am a consultant specializing in recruitment, business development, and strategic HR. I am always open to connecting with professionals, writers, and industry peers to exchange insights on the evolving dynamics of the labor market and corporate social responsibility. My background combines a strong academic foundation, experience in highly structured institutional environments, and hands-on entrepreneurship. Early in my career, I co-founded and served as President of Sorbonne Nouvelle Conseil, a student-led consulting firm. There, I managed teams of junior consultants and drove B2B acquisition, successfully delivering projects for a diverse portfolio ranging from agile startups to global industry leaders like EY and Cambridge AE. I also served in the executive cabinet of the French Armed Forces Commissariat (SCA), where I honed my skills in strategic coordination and complex project management at the highest institutional level. Today, my core expertise lies in the realities of the modern workforce. Through my experience at 1PACT, I partnered with major corporate accounts to tackle a significant socio-economic challenge: fighting job precariousness for frontline and logistics workers. My specific mission was to bypass the traditional temp-work model and exclusively secure permanent contracts (CDI) for these profiles. Furthermore, through my headhunting work at ICARE, I help impact-driven companies identify and recruit top-tier talent aligned with sustainable business models. I am always eager to collaborate on content, share expertise, or exchange ideas regarding: The European Labor Market: Navigating employment trends, corporate expectations, and effective talent acquisition strategies. Fighting Job Precariousness: The business case and societal impact of offering permanent contracts to blue-collar workers. Gen Z & The Future of Work: Bridging the gap between prestigious academic institutions and the strategic realities of modern businesses. Institutional Leadership: Translating the rigor of military and government administration into highly effective corporate strategies. Whether you are looking for a reliable source for an article, seeking to co-create content, or simply want to exchange ideas on the future of work for our respective blogs and networks, please feel free to reach out.
