Founder Doing All the HR?

Common questions

How much fractional HR support do I actually need?

Most companies at 10–40 employees need 5–15 hours of senior HR support per month. That covers policy updates, hiring guidance, compensation reviews, employee issue coaching, and compliance monitoring. As you grow, the scope scales with you.

What if I already have a payroll provider?

We work alongside your existing payroll provider, PEO, or HRIS. We do not replace your systems. We make sure they are configured correctly, your policies match your actual practices, and someone is watching the gaps between the tools.

How quickly can you take HR off my plate?

We start with a structured conversation about your current situation and priorities, then agree on a documented scope and support cadence. Deliverables depend on the engagement.

What does this cost?

Fractional HR retainers start at $1,199 per month. Other arrangements require a custom proposal. Monthly retainers have no long-term commitment.

Will I still need to hire a full-time HR person eventually?

Yes, probably. When you reach 50–75 employees and the volume of daily HR work justifies a dedicated hire. Our job is to build the infrastructure first, then help you hire the right permanent person at the right time. Many of our clients use us to define the role and evaluate candidates.

Is TalentForge360 a law firm?

No. We provide HR operational and strategic support, not legal representation. We work alongside employment attorneys when legal advice is needed, and we will recommend legal counsel for matters that require it.
