Okay, let’s tackle this. So Hank has skills like Employee Benefits, Insurance, Management Consulting, and HR Consulting, which are in demand. He’s also got experience in Change Management and Strategic Planning. Location is the Greater Chicago Area, which is a competitive market for HR professionals. According to national averages, HR consultants with similar skills can charge between $80-$150 per hour. Considering Hank’s expertise and location, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be around $125.
