Get a Fractional Head of HR so you Can Keep on Growing

Fast-Growing Companies Deserve HR Solutions that Fit Them.

Add the capacity you need, with no BS, at a fraction of the cost.

HR doesn’t have to a necessary evil.

Maybe HR has been that overhead expense you wish you could spend on something more than payroll and an elaborate “let’s not get sued” insurance policy. You’re not the only one who feels that way.

Before meeting us, a lot of our clients saw HR like a dentist. They’re thankful for them when a tooth falls out, or when an employee wants to sue them because their tooth fell out, while on the job. But, on a typical Tuesday, they’d rather spend that time and money on pretty much anything else.

The truth is that dentists are generally pretty great people, and a human resources capability is a lot more than payroll and avoiding lawsuits.

But, for many fast-growing teams, it’s tough to know what the right next investment into HR looks like. There are a lot of bases to cover and few options that make you feel more excited than your annual cleaning.

At least until now.

Fractional HR Services

Many teams aren’t ready to spend $250K (or more) per year on a full-time CHRO who will suddenly bring an unknown voice to the decision-making table.

A Fractional HR Solution helps you to intelligently navigate risks, and plan for the future, without committing too much too soon.

Your fractional lead offers scalable solutions and expert guidance in four critical areas: talent management, compensation and benefits, compliance and risk mitigation, and culture.
