About Us

Our Story

A message from Sheryl L. Bredeson, founder and CEO of Kandor Group:

I started my career in human resources in 2000, quickly discovering my passion for helping people through the tough intricacies of running a human-centered business. As I met amazing people, I started to envision creating a business dedicated to supporting other companies with their HR needs. So many businesses don’t have the resources or expertise for an effective human resources team.

My love for building processes, systems, policies, and procedures from the ground up, coupled with my knack for solving complex HR issues, inspired me to establish Kandor Group. I thrive on helping people: business owners, executives, managers, and employees solve problems, making their professional lives easier by taking HR worry off their plate. This drive to make a difference in the HR world led to the founding of Kandor Group.
