    Fractional HR

    Senior HR leadership, on the cadence your business needs.

    Our fractional HR practice embeds senior HR leaders into growing companies that aren't ready for a full-time CHRO. Engagements range from a few days a month for compliance oversight to deep partnership through an M&A integration or a rapid scaling event.

    Compliance you can trust

    Federal, multi-state, and contractor compliance — handbooks, classifications, FLSA, EEO-1, and OFCCP where applicable.

    Total rewards strategy

    Compensation benchmarking, incentive design, benefits review, and equity-plan support.

    Talent operating system

    Performance cadences, leveling, succession, and hiring rigor — the operating disciplines that scale a company past the founder-led stage.

    How the engagement works

    1. 01

      Diagnostic

      Two-week assessment of compliance, people data, and the operating cadence. Output is a prioritized roadmap with owners and dates.

    2. 02

      Embed

      Your fractional HR leader joins the leadership team rhythm — staff meetings, 1:1s with managers, and weekly office hours for the team.

    3. 03

      Build & ship

      We close the priority gaps from the diagnostic — policies, comp bands, performance cycle, ATS and HRIS hygiene, and manager training.

    4. 04

      Transition

      When you're ready to hire a permanent HR leader, we run the search and stay engaged through onboarding for continuity.

    FAQs

    What size company is a fit for fractional HR?
    Most engagements are with companies between 25 and 500 employees, often founder-led, growing through acquisition, or scaling government contracts. Below 25 we usually recommend HR consulting hours rather than a fractional embed.
    What does a fractional HR engagement cost?
    Engagements are monthly retainers sized to the scope and cadence agreed during the diagnostic. We share a written scope and pricing before any work starts.
    Can fractional HR convert into a permanent hire?
    Yes. Many engagements transition into a full-time CHRO or VP People search through our executive practice once the company is ready.
