What is a Fractional CHRO?

Executive HR Leadership, Flexibly Delivered

A Fractional CHRO is an experienced HR executive who works with your organization on a part-time or project basis. You get the strategic thinking, leadership experience, and expertise of a seasoned CHRO — typically 1-2 days per week — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from an HR consultant?

A consultant typically advises and leaves. A Fractional CHRO becomes part of your leadership team — attending meetings, making decisions, mentoring your HR staff, and being accountable for results. It's ongoing partnership, not project-based advice.

What size company is this best suited for?

Typically companies with 50-500 employees. Smaller than 50, you may not need this level of HR leadership. Larger than 500, you likely need a full-time CHRO. But we're flexible — some larger companies use us for specific initiatives.

Will the Fractional CHRO work from our office?

It's a mix. Typically 2-3 days on-site per engagement period for meetings, team interactions, and visible leadership presence. The rest is virtual — strategy work, document preparation, calls, and email support.

What's the minimum engagement period?

We recommend a minimum 6-month engagement to see meaningful results. HR transformation takes time. However, for specific projects (like M&A due diligence or policy overhaul), shorter engagements are possible.

Can you help us hire a full-time CHRO eventually?

Absolutely. Many clients start with our Fractional CHRO service and later transition to a full-time hire. We can help define the role, source candidates through our executive search service, and ensure a smooth handover.
