For companies with 50 to 200 employees
Fractional HR: a senior HR lead, part time
Growing companies reach a point where HR needs a seat at the management table, but a full-time HR director is not yet worth the salary. A fractional HR lead fills that gap.
- From $1,990 a month
- About one day a week
What a fractional HR lead does
Joins the management team
Takes part in management meetings and brings the people side of each decision.
Builds the HR plan
Hiring plan, structure, pay bands and the policies the company needs for its next stage.
Supports managers
Coaching on performance, discipline and difficult conversations.
Handles the hard cases
Investigations, accommodations, terminations and restructuring.
Develops your HR coordinator
If you have a junior HR person or office manager, the fractional lead guides their work.
When it makes sense
You have 50 or more employees, managers who were promoted for their skills rather than their people experience, and HR questions that now land on the owner's desk every week.
When the company is ready for a full-time HR leader, we can recruit them and hand over.
