Fractional HR Support
Expert HR Support in your corner, exactly when you need it.
Most organizations eventually reach a point where people management becomes complicated. The organization is growing fast. Someone leaves. A situation arises that you have never navigated before. Or you simply realize that the way you have been handling HR won't hold up as you scale. You need expertise in your corner, but you are not ready, or it does not make sense, to hire a full-time HR professional. You need someone who knows what they are doing, shows up when it matters, and becomes a genuine extension of your leadership team without the overhead of a full-time salary, benefits package, and everything else that comes with it.
That is exactly what fractional HR support at HAT Consulting looks like.
Â
Fractional HR support means you get our team at your fingertips. Not a call center. Not a generic HR hotline. A real partner who learns your organization, understands your culture, and brings over 20 years of experience to every decision you need to make about your people.
Who This Is For
Fractional HR support is the right fit if you are:
A founder or owner who has hit the point where HR is too important to wing it
A tribal entity that needs consistent, experienced HR guidance without a full-time hire
An organization navigating a leadership gap, leave of absence, or unexpected vacancy
A growing team that needs HR infrastructure built while the business keeps moving forward
A leader who wants a trusted partner to call when something comes up, not just when something goes wrong
What We Do Together
Fractional HR support from HAT Consulting is not a rigid package. It is built around what your organization actually needs. Engagements typically include some combination of the following:
Ongoing HR Partnership
Regular touchpoints, strategic guidance, and day-to-day support for people decisions. We become a consistent presence that your leadership team can rely on.
Leave of Absence and Interim Coverage
When an HR leader goes on leave or exits unexpectedly, we step in to keep things running, compliant, and stable until the right long-term solution is in place.
HR Software Implementation
From Paycom to other HRIS platforms, we set up, optimize, and train your team to actually use the systems you have invested in.
Day-to-Day HR Advisory
Got a situation you are not sure how to handle? A conversation you need to have? A decision with real consequences? We are the ones you call.
Staying Ahead
We keep you informed on changes in HR practice and employment law, so nothing catches you off guard.
What You Can Expect
