Your Dedicated HR Partner
Senior-Level Expertise Without the Full-Time Cost
For high-growth startups and small businesses, the need for strategic HR guidance is constant, but the budget for a full-time, senior HR leader is often out of reach. Our Individual Virtual HR (V-HR) service assigns you a dedicated, highly experienced HR professional who integrates with your team remotely.
Our V-HR Lead transformed our entire people operations. Turnover dropped 15% in six months, and we finally have strategic HR guidance that scales with our growth.

V-HR vs. Full-Time HR Manager
See how our Individual V-HR service compares to hiring a full-time HR manager
| Feature | Single In-House HR Manager (FTE) | Your Individual V-HR Lead |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | High fixed annual salary + 30% overhead (taxes, benefits) | Fractional, predictable monthly retainer |
| Expertise | Limited to one person's generalist experience | Access to senior, specialized, multi-sector experience |
| Scalability | Fixed capacity; hard to scale up or down | Flexible capacity; easily adjust hours/scope as you grow |
| Tech Integration | Must buy and learn all software separately | Manages and integrates your HRIS/Tech stack |
