As your fractional HR partner, I act as an extension of your internal team, helping you address immediate HR challenges, plan strategically for future growth, and streamline processes. This relationship is flexible, scalable, and cost-effective, making fractional HR ideal for companies that want expert HR support without long-term commitments or high overhead.

What is the process for getting started with you?

Getting started is simple and streamlined. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation (Free): We begin with a discovery call to learn about your organization, current challenges, goals, and the level of support you’re looking for.

HR Needs Assessment: I conduct a high-level assessment of your current HR structure, systems, and practices to identify opportunities and priorities.

Proposal & Service Plan: Based on our conversation, I’ll provide a tailored proposal outlining scope, deliverables, and pricing. This can be for a project, ongoing support, or a hybrid approach.

Onboarding & Kickoff: Once we move forward, I’ll onboard your team and begin work with a clear calendar of priorities, communication channels, and timelines.

Ongoing Collaboration: We’ll maintain regular touchpoints and continuously align on evolving needs to keep things running smoothly.

This thoughtful and structured approach ensures we start off strong—and stay aligned—every step of the way.

Clear, consistent communication is a top priority. I tailor communication methods and cadence to fit your organization’s preferences and needs. Here's what you can typically expect:

​

Weekly or Biweekly Check-Ins: Regularly scheduled video or phone meetings to discuss progress, priorities, and upcoming needs.

Ongoing Email and Messaging Support: I’m readily available via email or messaging platforms like Slack or Teams for ad-hoc questions and time-sensitive matters.

Monthly Summary Reports (Optional): For clients on a retainer or long-term projects, I can provide monthly updates summarizing key activities, accomplishments, and upcoming priorities.

Yes—my services are designed to be flexible and scalable. I understand that business needs evolve, and the level of HR support required can shift over time. Whether you’re ramping up during a high-growth phase, navigating a merger, or experiencing a seasonal slowdown, we’ll adjust the scope and hours of support accordingly.

​I regularly review each client’s needs and priorities, so we can recalibrate together—scaling up or down to ensure the right level of service at the right time. This adaptability is one of the key benefits of working with a fractional HR partner like OneSource People Partners.

No problem—just ask! I understand that every organization is unique, and HR needs don’t always fall into neat categories. With a broad background in all facets of HR—from succession planning and M&A integration to compliance, benefits, and leadership coaching—I can help with most challenges you’re facing.

If your request is highly specialized or outside my direct scope, I can tap into a trusted network of HR professionals and subject matter experts to find the right solution. My goal is to be a resource and partner you can count on, no matter what comes your way.

Confidentiality and data security are fundamental to how I operate. I understand the sensitive nature of HR information and take every precaution to protect your organization’s data. Here’s how I ensure confidentiality:

I enter into strict confidentiality agreements with every client.

All digital files are stored in secure, encrypted platforms with controlled access.

I use reputable, secure HR software for managing documents and records.

I maintain professional standards aligned with SPHR certification ethics, including a commitment to privacy and discretion in all client interactions.

Your organization should consider fractional HR support when you encounter specific HR challenges or reach significant growth milestones that exceed your internal capabilities. Common indicators include: Rapid growth, leadership strain, compliance concerns, employee turnover and retention issues, or organizational change, M&A activity

I specialize in working with small to mid-sized businesses and startups. My ideal clients typically range from organizations with no in-house HR team to those with limited HR resources, usually employing between 10 to 300 employees. Given my extensive experience across multiple sectors—including healthcare, wellness, nonprofit, professional services, and private equity-backed companies—I can effectively adapt proven HR practices to diverse industry needs.

Absolutely—OneSource People Partners offers both project-based engagements and ongoing fractional HR support tailored to your organization's needs.

Project-based services: Ideal for clients who have clearly defined HR needs, such as updating or developing employee handbooks, performing HR audits, implementing HR Information Systems (HRIS), or leading organizational restructuring and training initiatives. These standalone projects have specific goals, timelines, and outcomes.

Ongoing fractional arrangements: These engagements provide continuous strategic HR support on a flexible, part-time basis. This model offers regular access to expert HR consultation, leadership coaching, compliance oversight, and talent management guidance tailored to your evolving organizational needs.

OneSource People Partners offers flexible, transparent, and customized pricing structures tailored to your organization's specific needs. Clients typically choose from the following options:

Fractional HR Support (Monthly Retainer): A monthly retainer provides consistent, ongoing HR support. This arrangement includes regular strategic guidance, HR leadership coaching, compliance oversight, and more. Retainers are customizable based on your needs and budget, with month-to-month flexibility and no long-term lock-in.

Project-Based Services (Flat Fee or Hourly): Specific projects such as employee handbook development, HR audits, HRIS implementation, and training workshops are usually billed as flat-fee projects or hourly engagements, based on clearly defined scopes of work.
