Scarsdale's Jennifer Love and Elaine Marks Launch HR Consulting Firm to Support Small and Mid-size Businesses

Jennifer Love and Elaine Marks announced the formation of Lomar Partners, LLC, (LomarHR) a human resource consulting firm. The firm is dedicated to providing human resource management, support and expertise to small and mid-size businesses and start-ups across all industries.

Both Love and Marks live in Fox Meadow and each have three children. They met in town and got together when a mutual friend, also from Scarsdale, mentioned that both were looking for a new opportunity in human resources. Since they were often approached by friends, neighbors and former colleagues with human resource related questions they decided to use their collaborative experience to create LomarHR. They are happy to report that they have already signed on their first client, a global software technology company.

The rising corporate trend of outsourcing the HR function presents an opportunity for LomarHR to provide its expertise to companies with limited HR capacity. Outsourcing the HR function allows companies to more effectively employ their resources by contracting out responsibilities and functions that are not part of their core business. Through a collaborative process LomarHR assesses the business objectives of their clients and develops customized solutions to their human resource needs.

Jennifer has worked in global human resources since 1997. Her areas of expertise include recruiting, training, performance management and employee relations.
