What's fractional HR, and what comes with it?
A senior HR pro on your team, part-time. All the expertise, none of the full-time salary (or the extra desk). Reach us by phone, email, or onsite. We respond within 24 hours (usually minutes).
- Compliance and policy updates
- Employee handbook
- Corrective action, terminations, and tough conversations
- Unemployment claims
- Performance reviews and management
- HR audits
- Multi-state compliance
- Onboarding
- Manager coaching
- Payroll and benefits support
Plans start at $3,000/month. Not every plan includes everything above. Price moves with headcount, hours, scope, and onsite needs.
How do you charge for recruiting?
By the hour. You pay for the time we spend, not a cut of the salary. Because we work fast, that averages about 85% less than a recruiter charging 25 to 30% of a first-year salary. Try the calculator to see your number. (Job board and hiring platform costs are extra.)
How fast will I see candidates?
Typically, you'll have options to review within 48 hours.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Fractional HR just needs 30 days' notice to cancel. Hourly work has no commitment at all.
Who will we actually work with?
The people on our About page. No handoffs to a junior.
Who do you work with?
Small and mid-sized businesses, usually 2 to 250 people, across 30+ industries. Big enough to have people problems, small enough that no one has time to fix them.
Can you handle terminations and tough conversations?
That's our job. We'll help you plan it, document it, and handle it the right way.
Do you handle unemployment claims?
100%.
Can you write our employee handbook?
We do it all the time. Quick, clear, legally sound, and written so your team will actually read it.
Do you work with EOS?
We do. We help teams run EOS: accountability charts, scorecards, Rocks, and weekly L10 meetings. Already on EOS? We plug right in.
Can you train our team on AI?
Yes. From “what’s a prompt?” to building real workflows, for everyone from the front desk to the leadership team.
Do you support teams in multiple states?
Easy. We keep your policies compliant wherever your people are.
Do you run payroll and benefits?
We can. For most teams it's cheaper long term to have an admin own it, and we'll help you hire and train them.
What if a hire doesn't work out?
Our interview process and leadership support mean it rarely comes up. We don't do free replacements. That's part of how we cost a fraction of a traditional recruiter.
Do you work outside Denver?
Denver's home, but we work with businesses anywhere. Onsite, remote, or a mix, whatever your team needs.
Is your team really that outdoorsy?
Guilty. Expect a trail or ski reference in most meetings. We still show up on time.
What's the most common thing you hear on a first call?
“We should have called you a year ago.”
How do we get started?
A simple meeting. Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you straight if we can fix it. Not sure where to start? Take the free 3-minute HR checkup first.
We’d rather have a straight conversation.
Most clients start with a quick call. We figure out what’s broken, what’s needed, and what actually makes sense for your budget. Sometimes that’s less than you expected.
