What Are Fractional HR Services, Really?

Fractional HR means bringing in experienced HR leaders on a flexible basis—part-time, interim, or project-specific. Instead of committing to a permanent hire, you tap into seasoned expertise exactly when and where you need it.

How is it different?

Not full-time

Avoid the cost of salary, benefits, and overhead when you only need 8–20 hours a week.

Not just consulting

Fractional HR goes beyond advice — it’s hands-on execution, embedded in your team.

A proven model

36% of companies already rely on fractional or contract HR — mainstream and trusted.

 

Think of it as an HR subscription model…

Fractional HR gives you senior expertise without the full-time overhead. Whether you’re covering a parental leave, scaling through a growth spurt, or tackling a specific project, you set the commitment and flex support up or down as your business evolves.

  • Flexible: Scale HR help only when you need it — from peak hiring seasons to long-term strategy.

  • Reliable: Avoid the 48% turnover rate of full-time HR roles; our pros stay embedded with your team.

  • Cost-efficient: Access premium HR leadership for a fraction of the ~$80,000 full-time cost.

  • Performance-driven: Proven strategies boost morale, productivity, and alignment so HR becomes your growth engine.
