Common questions

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Monthly retainer engagements are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Any alternative engagement structure will be documented separately before work begins.

Why not just hire a full-time HR person?

A single internal hire may cover only part of the HR function. TalentForge360 provides senior-led advisory and operational support across compliance, employee relations, manager support, People systems, and workforce strategy. The right option depends on your organization’s needs, complexity, and desired level of support.

Do you offer one-time HR projects?

Yes. Select handbook, compliance, HR infrastructure, recruiting, and People-operations projects may be available as separately scoped engagements. Contact us to discuss the appropriate scope and current pricing.

What if I need more support than my plan includes?

If your needs grow beyond the agreed scope, we will discuss the available options with you before additional work begins. This may include adjusting the retainer, adding a defined project, or moving to a higher-support plan.

Do you offer a guarantee on recruiting?

All recruiting engagements include a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate does not work out within 90 days, we conduct a replacement search at no additional fee.

Can I mix and match services?

Yes. We will recommend a primary retainer based on your ongoing needs and identify any separately scoped recruiting or project support that may be appropriate.
