About

Our Company Background

Diane Biersteker created Human Resources Consulting, LLC in January 2011 starting from the belief that there was a need for HR support at small to mid-sized companies. She didn’t have a business plan or really a goal in mind, other than wanting to share her significant wealth of HR experience with businesses in Northeast WI. Diane knew a large number of business people from her long career in HR so she started networking to share her “story” of the services she could provide.

Starting from a bedroom converted to an office in her home, she began working with small to medium sized businesses that could not afford (or need) the services of a full time HR professional. Diane began partnering with company owners and local executives to provide HR support on an ad hoc basis, using her accumulated business and HR knowledge to assist and advise them on employee and business challenges.

Diane realized there was a strong need for HR support on an “as needed basis” within Northeast WI. In response to that need, her company evolved and grew to be able to offer a comprehensive “à la carte menu” of HR and business support services.

We obviously outgrew that bedroom in Diane’s home. As the team expanded, we moved to rented office space for 4 years and then in 2018, Anne and Nick purchased an office building. We take great pride in utilizing our significant HR knowledge, business integrity and wealth of business acumen to assist our clients. Our motto of “Solutions, Services, and Support” along with hard work and determination has led Human Resources Consulting to become one of the most reputable and relied upon outsourced HR departments in Northeastern, WI. The ability to serve as an interim, ad hoc, or long-term solution has given companies the ability to adjust, grow and have confidence in their employment practices.

When Diane was ready to spend more time with her children and grandchildren, her children, Anne Wettstein and Nick Erler, purchased the business. Anne and Nick, both experienced HR and business professionals, continue Diane’s legacy while also bringing their own exciting new ideas for growth and innovation. Today, the firm has grown to a team of seven employees and has partnered with more than 400 companies across Northeastern Wisconsin and in over 20 states. Anne and Nick are committed to honoring the foundation Diane built while expanding the business in their own way—combining trusted expertise with fresh approaches to meet the evolving needs of today’s businesses.

Anne and Nick’s leadership represents both a continuation of Diane’s original vision and an exciting new chapter for HR Consulting, ensuring the firm remains a trusted partner for generations to come.
