Fractional HR

Senior HR in the room, before the decision gets expensive.

A thinking partner for the terminations, the resets, and the hire you can't get wrong, without a full-time executive on payroll.

Who Is This For

You're past the point where the founder can keep doing HR, but nowhere near needing a full-time People executive. The team can already see the problem you've been circling. What's missing is one experienced person who tells you what's actually happening, what it's costing you, and what to do about it, and stays in it with you until it's handled.

That's fractional HR done properly. Not a cookie-cutter template with your logo on it. Judgment, on call.

What you hand off

With a senior partner in your corner, the hard people stuff stops living on your desk:

The termination you want done cleanly, the senior hire you can't get wrong, the accountability conversation you've had twice already, the policy or handbook that's overdue, the restructure you know is coming. You get experienced support on the calls that matter, whether it's one messy situation or ongoing help as you grow.

What it costs, and how we work

We work with leaders on the decisions that actually matter, the ones with real cost attached. If you're looking for the cheapest way to tick an HR box, we're honestly not it.

If you want senior judgment on a call you can't afford to get wrong, that's exactly what this is.

We don't publish a price list, because we don't sell a product off a shelf. What you need for a single messy termination isn't what you need to carry HR through a growth year, and a tidy pricing table would just mean overcharging some of you and underserving the rest.

Ongoing partnership is scoped to how much you actually need us in the business, and priced in a short conversation once we understand what's really going on.

If you'd rather start smaller, there's a focused block of senior time for a single contained piece of work that starts at $3500.00 for ten hours.

Every engagement starts the same way: a free conversation where you tell us what's actually happening, and we tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll say so.

That first call is the fastest way to a real number for your situation, not a range off a website.

Fractional HR Services
Strategic HR, tied to where you're going
We work with your leadership on the people decisions that actually move the business: who to grow, who to promote, where the org will strain next, and what to build now so it doesn't break at the next stage.

Recruitment for the roles that matter
We help you hire the senior and pivotal people you can't afford to get wrong. Sharpening what the role actually needs, running the search properly, and pressure-testing fit beyond a polished interview, so the person you hire is still the right call a year from now.

Terminations, accountability resets, restructures, the senior hire who isn't working out. We help you see the situation clearly and act on it cleanly, so a people problem stops turning into a business problem.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fractional HR

What makes this different from just hiring an HR company?
An HR company advises from the sidelines and hands you a document. We step into your business, learn your team, and help you make the actual call, on demand, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. You're not buying paperwork. You're buying judgment.

Can you help with compliance and legal risk?
Yes. We keep you onside with employment law and build the practices that lower your risk. But we won't hide behind "consult counsel" when what you need is a decision, and when something genuinely needs a lawyer, we'll tell you plainly.

Who gets the most out of fractional HR?
Founder-led and growing companies that are past doing HR themselves but not ready for a full-time People executive, especially when there's a hard people decision sitting on the desk right now.

What does it cost?
It's scoped to what you actually need, so the honest answer comes from a short conversation, not a price tag on a page. The fastest way to a real number is a quick call.

What’s the Cost of Fractional HR?

It depends on the size of your business and how much you need us in it. The honest answer comes from a short conversation, not a price tag on a page. The fastest way to a real number is to book a quick call.
