What Our Clients Have to Say

At the end of the day, what our clients say about us matters more than anything we can say about ourselves. Below are a few reviews we've gotten on Google. We are proud that we serve our clients well and that they appreciate our hard work!

Dr. Kristen Sciolino, Dental Practice

Alyssa is very knowledgeable and thorough! She streamlines everything you need to create a great job listing. She found me a wonderful hygienist for Northern Maine when hygienists are almost impossible to find! I would highly recommend her services for HR and recruiting.

Holly Bruns, Marketing Firm

I’m incredibly grateful for the support Alyssa provided during a recent employment matter within my marketing agency that felt both pressing and complex. She made herself available within just a few hours the same day, which immediately put me at ease. 
 
Alyssa offered clear, thoughtful guidance and helped me confidently navigate the situation with both professionalism and care. What stood out most was not only her expertise, but her willingness to follow up with additional resources and support to ensure I felt fully equipped moving forward. 
 
I’m truly thankful to have Twin City Consulting as a trusted resource for our team and would highly recommend Alyssa to any business owner needing knowledgeable and responsive HR support. 

Meet Alyssa Fortin

Twin City Consulting is led by Alyssa Fortin, a human resources professional with broad experience across manufacturing, union environments, healthcare, and other complex workplaces. After more than a decade in HR, Alyssa saw the same pattern again and again: small businesses were facing serious people challenges without having the internal resources or expertise to handle them confidently.

She started Twin City Consulting to close that gap.

Rather than sending small businesses to large firms with layers, delays, and higher overhead, Alyssa built a more direct model. Clients work with a real person who understands both the strategic and practical sides of HR and can respond when issues actually happen.

Why Twin City Consulting exists

Alyssa founded Twin City Consulting in 2025 with a clear purpose: to provide small businesses with high-quality, practical HR support without the cost of a full-time internal team.

Her background in HR spans recruiting, employee and labor relations, policy development, workplace investigations, performance management, compensation analysis, and broader HR leadership. That experience grew even deeper through work in healthcare, where high regulatory expectations, operational complexity, and the importance of the work demanded thoughtful, high-level HR support.

Over time, Alyssa saw how often small and midsize businesses were left trying to solve important HR problems without enough guidance. She was approached about joining consulting firms, but chose instead to build her own company so she could deliver strong support more directly and keep it more accessible for the kinds of clients she most wanted to serve.
