Hire an HR Manager
Pre-screened HR Managers matched to your team size, stage, and people challenges in as little as 3 days. No recruiter fees, no full-time overhead.
When to hire a Fractional HR Manager
You do not need to wait until you have a full-time HR headcount approved to get real HR leadership in place. These are the signals that companies typically see right before they engage a fractional or interim HR Manager.
No HR function exists yet
Your team has grown past 15 to 20 people and HR is still being handled by a founder or an office manager. Policies, onboarding, and compliance are inconsistent or nonexistent.
Compliance risk is piling up
You are behind on employee handbooks, state-specific labor law requirements, I-9 audits, or benefits administration and one complaint away from a serious liability.
A key HR hire just left
Your HR Manager or People Ops lead resigned and you need experienced coverage immediately while you run a proper search, without dropping the ball on open reqs or employee relations.
