Handling HR yourself is...

The rules and regulations are constantly changing. Not to mention, anytime you’re dealing with people, every situation is unique.

Especially without proper systems and processes in place. And these matters only increase in frequency and size as your business scales.

The more time and energy your team expends in this area, the less they have to focus on what they were hired to do (i.e., what they’re really good at!).

“When a situation or question arises, I have no worries as I know Stephanie (our dedicated Senior HR Professional) will be able to answer the question and address any situation no matter how tough.”

Kim Benedict

Co-Founder and CEO TalentMinded

Whereas Fractional HR With Castle Is...

Our Senior HR Professionals each boast 10+ years of experience, impressive track records and deep industry-specific knowledge.

We leverage our proven HR Roadmap to help you solve your biggest challenges. We know these systems and processes work because we use them ourselves.

A Castle HR subscription costs as little as $2,900 per month with no long-term commitment. Hiring a full-time HR generalist can easily cost 3x as much all-in.

Client Spotlight: Candybox Marketing

“You heard it here first – Google doesn’t have an HR Degree, so don’t let Google handle your HR needs.

Castle HR has been our go-to customized solution for all of our human resource needs. As your company grows, your HR strategy must evolve with it.”

How This Works

Once you autograph your agreement, we get right to work.

1. Meet Your HR Partner

We assign you a dedicated Senior HR Professional who has experience in your industry. They instantly become an extension of your team, available to assist in all matters HR.

2. Create An Action Plan

You meet with your HR Partner to discuss your company's goals. In turn, they will help you align which modern HR strategies will best support these, and in what order.

3. Start Your First Sprint

We start working on the first stage of your Action Plan. About once a quarter, we'll assess what got done, what's in progress and check if any of your priorities have shifted.
