What is fractional HR?

Senior HR & people operations expertise. Part-time commitment.

Fractional HR, also called fractional people operations or an outsourced people & culture function, means an experienced HR leader runs your people team on a monthly retainer, not a full-time salary. You get the judgment of someone who has handled compliance, terminations, audits, and fast scaling, at the volume your company actually needs. It's how a 30-person company gets the people & culture support a 500-person company pays for.

HR has quietly become the founder's job

If you recognize two or three of these, you've outgrown handling HR on the side.

01
Every people question routes to you
Offer letters, complaints, PTO disputes, policy questions, they all land on the founder or ops lead, pulling focus from the actual business.
02
You're hiring with no real system
Headcount is climbing but onboarding is improvised and inconsistent, and it shows up as avoidable turnover months later.
03
Compliance gaps you can't see
Multi-state rules, classifications, required policies, you suspect you're exposed somewhere but don't know where, and won't until something breaks.
04
A full-time hire doesn't pencil out
You don't have 40 hours a week of HR work, and a $90k generalist is hard to justify, but no HR at all is its own growing risk.

FAQ

Everything founders ask before they book a call

What is fractional HR?

+
Fractional HR means an experienced HR professional runs your people function part-time, on a monthly retainer, instead of you hiring a full-time HR employee. You get senior-level expertise, compliance, onboarding, employee relations, payroll, and strategy, at the volume your company actually needs, for a fraction of a full-time salary.

How much does fractional HR cost?

+
Bevel HR retainers start at $1,800/month for companies with 1–20 employees, with most clients at 15–40 employees on the $3,500/month Growth package, up to $6,500/month for an embedded fractional CHRO. That's roughly 25% of the $70,000–$90,000 fully loaded annual cost of a full-time HR hire.

When should a small business hire fractional HR?

+
Usually between 10 and 75 employees, the stage where HR has become too complex and time-consuming to keep handling off the side of a founder's or ops lead's desk, but a full-time HR hire isn't justified yet. If HR questions, compliance worries, or people issues are eating your time, that's the signal.

What industries does Bevel HR serve?

+
We work across nearly every industry, with particular depth in tech and startups, healthcare, restaurants and hospitality, professional services, nonprofits, and construction and trades. The founder's background spans fintech, healthtech, clean energy, Fortune 500 consumer brands, and recruiting.

Does Bevel HR work remotely?

+
Yes, Bevel HR is fully remote and serves small businesses in all 50 states. We work over video, Slack, email, and shared HR platforms, and most clients find remote fractional HR more responsive than an in-house generalist juggling other duties.

We learned HR inside companies under real pressure, scaling teams, handling terminations, surviving audits and fundraises. That's what we bring to every client, not recycled best-practice slides.
