    WHEN small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) think about human resources (HR), attendance taking, hiring, payroll and grievance resolution probably come to mind. But strategy consulting startup TalentKraft knows that HR is more than that, and it wants to help businesses see that too.

    With backgrounds in renowned consulting firms Boston Consulting Group and KPMG, co-founders Eugene Goh and Ang Zanyu feel that HR is an underserved domain, even though factors such as employee retention or engagement affect profitability.

    Mr Goh pointed out: "Even in startups, typically, the co-founding team has a business guy, a technology guy, maybe a product or a sales guy. Almost no founding teams have an HR guy."
