Fractional HR

Fractional HR for Vancouver Businesses

Senior HR leadership for Metro Vancouver employers with 10 to 300 employees, on a flexible basis. You get a Chartered Professional in Human Resources on your side, without adding a full time salary.

What is fractional HR?

Fractional HR means an experienced HR professional works with your business part time, for the hours and projects you actually need. Instead of hiring a full time HR manager at $85K or more, you get the same senior expertise for a fraction of the cost, and you can scale it up or down as the business changes.

It sits between doing HR yourself and building an HR department. Unlike HR software or a call centre helpline, you work with one person who learns how your business runs, knows your people and your history, and is accountable for the results.

Signs your business is ready for it

  • You have grown past 10 or 15 employees and HR is handled off the side of someone's desk.
  • Your employee handbook is missing, outdated, or was copied from somewhere else.
  • A termination, complaint or performance problem is coming and you are not sure how to handle it properly.
  • You are hiring faster than your process can keep up with.
  • Your last HR person left and nobody picked up what they were doing.
  • You have a unionized workforce and need someone who understands the collective agreement.

What Snapshot HR takes off your plate

Most clients start with a mix of fixing the foundations and handling whatever is urgent. Over time the work shifts from reacting to problems toward preventing them.

Common questions

How much does fractional HR cost?

It depends on how much support you need. Ongoing support is billed as a monthly retainer, and one off work such as an investigation or a handbook is scoped and priced upfront. After the free HR Snapshot call you get a clear recommendation and price, with no obligation.

Is fractional HR the same as outsourcing HR?

Not quite. Outsourced HR often means a helpline or software platform. Fractional HR means one senior HR professional who works as part of your team, learns your business and takes ownership of your HR priorities.

Can I pause or change the level of support?

Yes. Monthly retainers can be adjusted or paused with 30 days notice, and project work is scoped upfront. You are never locked in.
