Automating your HR Consultancy with Stephanie Bonnie & Debbie Crompton

Welcome to the HR Business Blueprint Podcast. I’m Nikki Masterman, Founder and CEO of Inspired HR.In this episode, I’m joined by Stephanie Bonnie and Debbie Crompton, co-founders of Stebbington, a systems and automation consultancy that helps HR consultants build smarter, more efficient businesses.We explore how Steph and Debbie went from corporate process and systems roles into running their own tech-focused consultancy, and how their 20-year friendship has shaped the way they work together and support their clients.We dive into what automation and CRM systems really mean for HR consultants, from those just starting with spreadsheets to established firms struggling to keep up with growth, and why having one clear source of truth for clients, prospects and processes is critical to scaling successfully.Steph and Debbie share insights into process mapping, documenting how your business processes can reduce mistakes, improve onboarding, and make things far easier to delegate, automate and grow.We also discuss the role of AI in HR systems, where it can add real value, where human judgement still matters, and how to use technology in a way that supports relationships rather than replacing them.
