Hi, I'm Raisa!
I'm Raisa Pay. For seven years I have worked across the full employee lifecycle: recruiting at Google, running HR on a two-person team at Securly, and training 600+ employees globally at Everway. Today I help companies build HR processes that hold up as they grow, and put AI to work inside HR.

AI work samples
One tool for each part of HR I work in. Each shows what the AI does, where it goes wrong, and the guardrail I built so a team can trust it.
Reads a company onboarding or offboarding checklist and flags what is missing: unowned steps, I-9 and E-Verify timing, equipment, and system access removal on the last day.
For business owners: A gap review of your own checklists.
Turns rough hiring-manager intake notes into a job description, structured interview questions, and a scorecard tied to the role requirements.
For business owners: Consistent, fair hiring without a recruiting team.
Builds Boolean search strings and personalized first-touch messages from a role intake, the way I sourced niche engineering talent at Google.
For business owners: Faster pipelines for hard-to-fill roles.
Turns a written procedure into a 10-minute lesson, a practice exercise, and a short quiz, ready for an LMS like 360Learning.
For business owners: Training your team will actually finish.
Scores retention risk from 0 to 100 across eight signals, such as time since promotion and engagement trend, and explains every score in plain language.
For business owners: Spot retention risks before resignations.
Answers everyday employee questions like PTO and benefits using only the company handbook, and shows the section each answer came from.
For business owners: Fewer repeat questions for the owner or office manager.

My story
In 2026 I took a step back from the corporate world and spent a couple of months traveling across Europe, Asia, and North America. I used the time to look at myself up close and understand what truly brings me joy and fulfillment.
Along the way I learned AI and made it part of my daily life, published children's books, and started a stealth startup that I build on the side. Now I am bringing all of it back to the work I love: helping people and teams do their best work.

Beyond the resume
I write and publish children's coloring books under the Chase & Chirp name. Bold, easy coloring books for ages 2 to 6. It is the same habit I bring to HR work: take something complicated and make it simple enough to pick up and use.
