HR & Recruiting for Growing Teams

Services

HR support for growing teams

As teams grow, hiring and people operations tend to outpace structure. Leaders know something needs to change, but don’t want to rush into a full-time HR hire or patch things together reactively.

I work with founders and small leadership teams to step in, assess what’s needed, and provide senior-level HR and hiring support—practically and efficiently.

How I help

Fractional HR Leadership

Ongoing, senior-level HR support without adding headcount.

This typically includes:

  • Acting as your go-to HR partner
  • Prioritizing and managing HR work across the business
  • Supporting leaders with people-related decisions
  • Translating business needs into workable HR practices

Best for teams that need steady support and judgment, not just execution.

Hiring & Recruiting Support

Hands-on support to improve how you hire and who you bring in.

This can include:

  • Role definition and hiring strategy
  • Interview process design
  • Candidate sourcing and screening
  • Interview support and feedback alignment

The goal is to help teams hire thoughtfully and consistently as they grow.

HR Operations

Day-to-day people operations that keep things running smoothly.

Common areas of support:

  • Employee onboarding and offboarding
  • Manager support and documentation
  • HR workflows and internal processes
  • Ongoing operational cleanup as teams evolve

This work often overlaps with fractional HR leadership and scales with your needs.

HR Tools & Process Setup

Selecting and implementing the right systems to support your team.

Support may include:

  • ATS, HRIS, or PEO evaluation
  • Implementation and configuration
  • Process design around new tools
  • Training leaders and internal owners

The focus is on choosing tools that fit your size and stage—and actually using them well.

Compliance Foundations

Establishing baseline practices that reduce risk as you grow.

This includes:

  • Worker classification guidance
  • Core HR policies and documentation
  • Foundational compliance practices
  • Support during transitions or changes

This is not legal advice, but practical HR support grounded in experience.

How engagements work

Most clients start with an initial conversation to assess needs and priorities. From there, work is structured as:

Many teams begin with a short engagement and continue with ongoing support as needs evolve.
