Access HR Expertise Sooner So Your Company Can Grow Faster

Growing companies usually can’t justify a full-time HR person until their headcount exceeds 50 people. In the meantime, a lot of that work falls on the founder(s)… But you didn’t start your company to become an HR expert!

So if you’re trying to scale but instead find yourself caught up in the day-to-day grind of hiring, managing and retaining your people – we have two things to say to you:

First, you’re far from alone and second, we can help you!

We're Highly Rated!

DIY vs. Hire vs. Outsource

We meet a lot of founders and small business leaders who are working their tails off but making little progress. While wearing many hats is not uncommon, it is complicated, and you should be focusing on what you do best.

You could hire a full-time HR person, but that’s a lot of money and commitment for someone you won’t have enough work for. That’s where we come in!

We refer to our model as Fractional HR.

Simply put, you get a Senior HR Professional in your corner, part-time, at a price point that makes more sense for your current needs. Let’s break it down…

Let's Talk

Our mission is to help small businesses unlock their full potential through their people strategy and processes. Remember, our consultation is FREE and there are no bad questions. (Trust us, we’ve heard them all!)
