About Alderfield Analytics

Registered business

Alderfield Analytics Co., Ltd. (앨더필드 애널리틱스) is the official registered business name. The company was established in 2016 in Daejeon, where our office remains today at 54 Onbit-daero, Yuseong-gu.

How we began

Founder Song Hyunwoo spent twelve years in HR operations at Korean manufacturing and technology firms before starting Alderfield Analytics. Repeated cycles of headcount submissions sent back by finance—with vague requests to "revisit assumptions"—convinced him that HR teams needed structured facilitation, not more spreadsheet templates.

The first engagements were informal workshops for HR directors in the Daejeon tech corridor. By 2018, clients in Seoul, Busan, and Incheon were requesting composition reports ahead of merger integrations. We formalised our workshop format and added departure risk assessments in 2020 when voluntary turnover patterns shifted post-pandemic.

What we do today

Our work centres on headcount planning: helping HR directors sequence hires, document backfill assumptions, and present plans that finance can reconcile against budget envelopes. We do not sell software subscriptions or maintain a client portal. Every deliverable is produced by our analysts and delivered as documents, presentations, or facilitated sessions.

Our approach

We begin with your data—org charts, HRIS exports, prior submissions—not industry benchmarks alone. Workshops are working sessions, not lectures. Reports include annotated charts with plain-language interpretation because board members and CFOs should not need an HR degree to understand workforce risk.

Values

Accuracy over speed. We would rather extend intake by a week than deliver a plan built on incomplete headcount data.
Confidentiality. Employee-level data stays under NDA and is deleted from our systems after deliverable acceptance unless retention is agreed in writing.
Honest scope. If a composition report will not answer your question, we say so before you sign an engagement letter.
