Senior HR, a fraction of the cost

Bevel HR retainers start at $1,800/month (Foundation), 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 fully loaded cost of a full-time HR hire, which typically runs $70,000–$90,000/year.

Retainers have a 3-month minimum engagement, then continue month-to-month — cancel anytime after the initial term. The minimum exists because the first 90 days are where we build your foundation and the value compounds.

Foundation fits 1–20 employees who mainly need compliance coverage and on-call support. Growth fits 10–50 employees actively hiring and managing people — it's where most clients land. Embedded fits 40–75 employees needing a strategic, near-CHRO-level partner. We'll recommend the right tier in your free assessment.

Yes — many clients start with a one-time HR Audit ($1,500–$2,500) or handbook, see how we work, and move to a retainer from there. There's no obligation to convert.

Hours cover the active HR work for your account — from answering employee questions and updating policies to running onboarding and handling employee-relations matters, depending on your tier. The Growth and Embedded tiers include unlimited HR requests rather than capped hours.
