Fractional HR Support in duluth, mN

Frequently Asked Questions
How is fractional HR different from a PEO or a staffing agency? A PEO co-employs your staff and bundles payroll and benefits; a staffing agency places workers. Fractional HR is differen. You get a dedicated HR expert who works as part of your team, advising on strategy, compliance, and people decisions, without handing over control of your workforce.
How much does fractional HR cost? Far less than a full-time HR hire. Most clients work from a monthly retainer scaled to their size and needs. We recommend a structure during your free consultation rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all number.
How many employees should we have before this makes sense? There is no hard rule, but businesses in roughly the 25–50 employee range tend to feel the pain mos. With this amount of employees, you are big enough to have real HR needs, not big enough to justify a full-time director. We also help smaller teams preparing to grow.
Do you work with nonprofits? Yes. A meaningful share of our work is with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, and we structure engagements with their budgets in mind.
What areas do you serve? We are based in Duluth and serve Minnesota and Wisconsin, with many clients in the Twin Ports, the Iron Range, and the Twin Cities. Remote collaboration lets us support teams anywhere in the region.
