For early-stage startups, rather than bringing on a full-time HR leader, founders often leverage fractional HR support to cover essentials like setting up policies, onboarding new hires, and basic compliance.
As team grows to around 10–25 employees, HR needs expand. A Fractional HR coordinator, who works on an as-needed basis, can manage administrative HR tasks and ensuring compliance.
Around the 25–50 employee mark, a Fractional People Operations Manager can help in maintaining alignment as the company expands, providing structured support without committing to a full-time hire.
Once a startup surpasses 100 employees, the people operations demands tend to justify a full-time HR leader, such as a CHRO, who can focus on long-term people strategy, set up structures to sustain growth, and implement programs to retain talent.
Fractional HR is a highly effective solution for growing companies, providing expert support and flexibility without the cost of a full-time role. Choosing the right HR role at the right time can enhance a startup’s ability to scale sustainably.
