What is fractional HR

HR leadership that grows with you.

Fractional HR is a model where an experienced HR professional supports your business for a set number of hours per week or month. They act as your HR leader, strategist and operational partner, without being full-time.

Embedded leadership

1 to 3 days per week inside your leadership team. We join your meetings, own your people roadmap, and make HR a strategic function.

People strategy

We design salary bands, performance cycles, promotion criteria and hiring plans that match your growth stage and budget.

Manager coaching

We coach your managers through difficult conversations, feedback, hiring and team recovery, so people problems shrink instead of grow.

Board reporting

Clear HR metrics, risk flags and people updates for investors and boards, in language leadership actually wants to read.

Compliance & docs

Contracts, handbooks, policies and offboarding workflows built to fit your culture and keep you audit-ready.

Scales with you

Increase or reduce days as your needs change. No long lock-ins, no full-time salary, no bureaucracy.

Who it fits

For teams of 30–150 people that are growing fast.

Too big to handle people issues informally, too small to justify a full-time HR director. This is where fractional HR delivers the most: senior experience, clear systems and management confidence without emptying the budget.

  • You have no in-house HR director, but people questions are becoming strategic
  • Managers need help with difficult conversations and feedback
  • Hiring and keeping key people is getting chaotic
  • Board or investors want clear people metrics
  • You are planning growth, but your processes do not scale
