How many hours per month?

The retainer covers a defined scope of work rather than a fixed hour count. We adjust the scope quarterly based on your needs. Most clients need 15 to 30 hours of support per month.

Can we scale up or down?

Yes. We review scope quarterly and can adjust the retainer up or down based on your hiring volume, HR projects, and team size.

What if we need to hire a full-time HR person?

We can help you define the role, source candidates, and transition smoothly. Many clients use fractional people-ops as a bridge to a full-time hire.
