Okay, let’s calculate Kevin’s rate. So, he has a broad range of HR skills, including recruiting, benefits administration, and compensation and benefits. These skills are in demand, especially in the Greater Houston area. Considering his expertise, I’d estimate his rate around $125 per hour, which is slightly lower than the national average for HR consultants. However, this is still a competitive rate, especially for someone with his level of experience and skills. Some sources suggest that HR consultants with similar skills and experience in the US can charge between $100-$200 per hour, so I think $125 is a reasonable estimate.
