HR

The HR seat, filled.
Without the full-time hire.

For employers who keep fielding HR questions they shouldn't have to, and aren't ready to put a senior HR person on payroll. We run the day-to-day and the strategic, on a monthly cadence.

What's included in the retainer

The recurring HR work, run for you.

  • Employee relations, conflict resolution, and workplace investigations
  • Hiring, onboarding, and offboarding, run the same way every time
  • Handbooks, policy, and employment compliance kept current
  • Benefits coordination and open enrollment support
  • Manager coaching and escalation support
  • Leave administration (FMLA and state equivalents) and accommodations
  • Terminations, RIFs, and the documentation that has to be right

Who this fits

If one of these is you, we should talk.

You're the de facto HR department and it's pulling you off the work only you can do.

The 20-to-75-person company with no HR seat

Big enough that people issues are constant, not big enough to justify a senior full-time hire.

The multi-site operator who needs consistency

Hiring, discipline, and policy look different at every location, and that inconsistency is a risk.

How we scope this

Scoped to your headcount and what's on fire.

HR scopes to your headcount, your turnover, and how much is currently on fire. After a discovery call you get one monthly number for the ongoing work, with projects quoted separately and up front. No per-employee fees.

How we staff this

Senior practitioners, not a generalist juggling it.

The senior practitioner sets strategy and handles the hard calls; the right hands run the recurring work. We carry an SPHR senior credential and 15+ years of in-the-chair HR leadership across multiple industries.

Project and add-on work

One-time work, scoped and quoted per project.
