Fractional HR
Right-sized leadership built for growing teams.
Fractional HR gives you a seasoned HR leader working inside your business for a portion of the week. For one day a week (or more, if you need it), we act as your head of people, supporting your team, advising leadership, and building the systems you need to scale.
We work within your tools, alongside your team, and in your business, not as a consultant, but as a partner embedded in your operation.
Fractional is different from Outsourcing.
Not sure whether you need a fractional leader or a fully outsourced solution? Here’s how the models differ.
| Fractional HR | Outsourced HR | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Embedded part-time leader (1+ day/week) | We run HR on your behalf |
| Tools | We use your systems | We bring our own systems (or use yours) |
| Team | We work with your internal team | We are your HR team |
| Focus | Leadership, decision support, strategic projects | Compliance, operations, documentation, onboarding |
| Best For | Companies 15–200 building their next stage | Companies 1–100 needing plug-and-play HR |
