Your HR Department. Built and Run by Experts.
Get senior HR leadership without hiring a $150K–$250K executive. We act as your HR department—developing policy, ensuring compliance, managing employee relations, and driving organizational design. Fractional CHRO, VP HR, or full HR operations. Scaled to your needs.
What Happens Without Proper HR Infrastructure
Founders and executives tell us the same story: they want to build company culture, scale teams, and focus on business growth. Instead, they spend hours on HR problems because nobody owns the people function strategically.
Compliance Gaps
Policies are outdated, inconsistent, or missing entirely. Nobody audits ESA/OHSA compliance. Terminations happen wrong. The Ministry of Labour knocks on the door and you realize you have exposure.
Managers Without Training
Managers make hiring decisions, manage employee relations, and handle discipline without structured guidance. Inconsistent treatment creates liability. Employee complaints escalate because managers don't know proper protocol.
No Strategic HR Leadership
You have an HR administrator handling transactions, not strategy. No one is thinking about retention, succession planning, compensation equity, or organizational design. HR reacts to problems instead of preventing them.
The Real Cost
A single HR generalist costs $85,000–$120,000 annually. But problems cost more: expensive hiring mistakes, turnover from poor management, compliance penalties, legal defense for wrongful dismissal, lost productivity on HR firefighting.
Three Outsourced HR Models
Fractional CHRO / VP HR
Strategic HR leadership at your executive table. 2–4 days per week. You get a senior executive accountable for people strategy, culture, compliance, and talent planning. They report to the CEO and drive organizational design.
HR Operations
Policy development, compliance, employee relations, performance management, and HR systems. Flexible hours scaled to your needs. We build your HR infrastructure and execute day-to-day HR functions.
Full HR Department
We ARE your HR team. End-to-end HR operations, from recruitment through termination. Strategic planning, day-to-day management, compliance, culture. For companies without internal HR.
What We Cover
Who This Is For
We work with three types of leaders. Find your situation below.
You're scaling past 100 employees.
Your HR administrator is drowning. Managers are making inconsistent decisions. You need strategic HR leadership but can't justify a $200K hire right now. Fractional CHRO sits at your table and owns the people function while you focus on growth.
Let's talk scalingYou want HR ROI, not HR headcount.
You can calculate it: hiring an HR director costs $200K+ with recruitment, benefits, and severance risk. Outsourced HR reduces your fixed cost, eliminates hiring risk, and scales with the business. Same expertise. Better ROI.
Discuss the economicsYou need senior support and backup.
You're handling everything—recruitment, compliance, employee relations, policy, terminations. You need a senior partner who gets the strategy, helps you navigate tough situations, and gives you breathing room.

Common Questions About Outsourced HR
How much does outsourced HR cost compared to hiring an HR director?
An internal VP People costs $150,000–$250,000 annually in salary, benefits, recruitment, and severance risk. Fractional CHRO or outsourced HR typically costs 40–60% less, with zero recruitment risk and flexibility to scale. You get senior expertise without the fixed overhead and hiring risk.
How does a fractional CHRO actually work?
A fractional CHRO is your HR executive, not a consultant. They sit at your leadership table 2–4 days per week, report to the CEO, and own people strategy, compliance, culture, and talent planning. They are accountable for outcomes, continuity, and strategic partnership. You get consistency and commitment without the full-time hire.
What size company needs outsourced HR or a fractional CHRO?
Companies with 50–500+ employees benefit most. At 50 employees, compliance and people management complexity demand expertise. Around 100 employees, a single HR generalist becomes overloaded. A fractional CHRO scales—2 days/week at 100 people, 4 days/week at 400+. Smaller companies may benefit from HR operations or consulting instead.
How do you ensure ESA and OHSA compliance?
We audit your policies, practices, and documentation against Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA), Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and Human Rights Code requirements. We implement corrective controls, maintain compliance calendars, and document everything to prove due diligence if the Ministry of Labour inspects.
What's the difference between outsourced HR and HR consulting?
HR consulting is project-focused—you hire a consultant to design a compensation framework or plan a restructuring. Outsourced HR is ongoing ownership. You have a dedicated HR executive accountable for your entire people function: strategy, operations, compliance, culture. Consulting works for specific initiatives; outsourced HR IS your HR department.
