Meet Your Workforce Diplomat™

I’m Dallibeth Estevez-Checo, Founder of DEC Impact Hub and a proud Workforce Diplomat™ — a strategic connector between small businesses, job seekers, and economic opportunity.

As a first-generation Latina, military spouse, and bilingual career strategist, I bring a culturally responsive and real-world lens to workforce transformation. I hold an MBA with a concentration in Organizational Development and Change, and I’ve spent more than 13 years in Human Resources building systems that help people — and businesses — thrive.

My HR background spans the federal, state, and nonprofit sectors, with specialized expertise in:

  • HR employment compliance (including I-9, EEO, and youth labor laws)
  • Recruiting and workforce planning
  • Organizational development and change management
  • Employee relations and recognition
  • Workers’ compensation and drug testing programs

I started DEC Impact Hub because I saw the gap — small businesses need practical, people-first HR systems to grow, and first-gen job seekers need access to the tools, support, and paid opportunities that launch careers.

You don’t need a DEI checklist — you need clear systems, strong people, and sustainable strategies. That’s what I build.

Whether you're a small business owner ready to scale or a first-gen job seeker trying to break through, I’m here to help you make your next move confidently — and strategically.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is DEC Impact Hub?

DEC Impact Hub is a workforce consultancy committed to making opportunity and upward mobility part of how we do business.

We tackle the top three reasons people quietly quit — low pay, lack of career growth, and toxic work environments — by equipping both employers and job seekers with tools to build better outcomes. Through strategic HR support, talent development, and inclusive recruiting practices, we’re changing how small businesses grow and retain talent.

How can small businesses partner with DEC Impact Hub?

We offer flexible partnership opportunities for startups, small businesses, and nonprofits looking to attract and retain diverse, qualified talent.

You can partner with us for recruitment support, workforce planning consulting, or plug-and-play employee development programs. We also provide fractional HR support to help you manage compliance, improve retention, and build a healthier work culture — without needing a full-time HR department.

What types of job seekers do you support?

Our primary audience includes first-generation college students, returning-to-worker individuals, immigrants, and young professionals ages 16–35 navigating career transitions or limited access to professional networks. We support their growth with resume coaching, career mapping, digital products, mock interviews, and community-based programming designed to build confidence, clarity, and career readiness.

Do you work with nonprofits, schools, or community organizations?

Yes! We collaborate with schools, workforce boards, and nonprofit organizations to co-create career readiness workshops, host hiring events, and equip underserved communities with the tools they need to thrive in the workplace. If you’re interested in bringing DEC programming or coaching to your students or clients, we’d love to hear from you.

What makes DEC Impact Hub different from a staffing agency?

We’re not just a staffing firm — we’re a people-first workforce consultancy. What sets us apart is our end-to-end approach:

  • We help you design roles and workforce plans that actually attract applicants.
  • We assist in building incentive structures that keep employees motivated, engaged, and retained.
  • We offer ongoing fractional HR support for small businesses that need expert help but aren’t ready to hire a full-time HR team.


We focus on building sustainable talent pipelines — not just filling jobs.
