Types of Engagements

Fractional

Part-time as long as needed.

  • Part-time, long-term executive support. You get a seasoned HR leader (e.g., Fractional CHRO or VP People) for a defined number of hours or days per month.

  • Organizations that need continuous, high-level strategic HR guidance but are not ready for a full-time executive salary, or as a bridge to a full-time hire.

Interim

All yours - to close the gap.

  • Full-time, temporary executive coverage. You hire a senior HR professional to step into a critical, vacant leadership role (e.g., Interim Head of HR or HR Director) for a fixed period (typically 3-12 months).

  • Covering parental or sabbatical leave, managing a crucial transition period (M&A, restructuring), or stabilizing a function while a permanent search is conducted.

Projects

All in for the project at hand.

  • Project-based expertise. Engagement focused on solving a specific, defined problem or delivering a targeted outcome.

  • Initiatives like implementing a new performance review system, developing an ESG reporting framework, conducting HR Due Diligence, or creating a new compensation plan.
