Fractional HR Consultant for Startups & SMBs I help startups and small-to-mid sized businesses build clear, compliant, and scalable HR systems — without the cost or complexity of a full-time HR hire. I’m a strategic HR consultant and co-founder of Kinetic Root HR Consulting, where I personally provide hands-on HR support to founders and leadership teams navigating growth, change, and people challenges. At Kinetic Root HR Consulting, we believe the most effective people solutions come from addressing the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. I partner with startup and SMB leadership teams to design and implement practical HR systems that support growth, reduce risk, and improve employee engagement. While I operate through Kinetic Root HR Consulting, I personally manage and deliver all client work to ensure consistency, accountability, and high-quality execution. My background includes organizational design, employee relations, performance management, HR operations, and compliance — with a strong focus on building processes that actually work in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments. Many of my clients engage me on a fractional or ongoing basis, allowing them to access experienced HR leadership as their business evolves — without hiring a full-time HR team before they’re ready. ⸻ 🧠 Core Areas of Expertise • Fractional HR Leadership & Advisory • HR Operations & Infrastructure • Employee Relations & Performance Management • Policy & Handbook Development • Compliance & Risk Mitigation • Organizational Design & Role Clarity • Training & Learning Program Development • HRIS Selection, Implementation & Optimization • Vendor, Benefits & Workforce Management • Leadership & Manager Support ⸻ 🎯 Who I’m a Great Fit For You’ll get the most value working with me if you are: ✅ A startup or small-to-mid sized business (typically 10–200 employees) ✅ A founder, COO, or people leader who needs ongoing HR support, not just one-off advice ✅ Scaling headcount, formalizing policies, or cleaning up messy HR processes ✅ Managing employee performance, engagement, or compliance challenges ✅ Looking for fractional HR leadership instead of a full-time hire ✅ Ready for clear recommendations and hands-on execution ⸻ 🚫 Who I’m Not the Best Fit For I may not be the right fit if you’re looking for: ❌ One-time administrative tasks only (data entry, basic filing) ❌ A fully outsourced HR call center or PEO replacement ❌ Large enterprise HR programs with heavy bureaucracy ❌ Legal advice (I partner with legal counsel but do not replace them) ❌ Short-term “check-the-box” HR without follow-through ⸻ 📦 Ways Clients Typically Work With Me HR Foundation Setup (Project-Based) Best for early-stage startups formalizing HR for the first time. Often serves as a starting point for ongoing fractional support. Fractional HR Support (Monthly Retainer) Best for growing teams that need consistent HR leadership without hiring full-time. Performance & People Systems Optimization Best for teams struggling with accountability, engagement, or role clarity. HRIS & Digital HR Implementation Best for companies outgrowing spreadsheets and manual processes. ⸻ 🤝 How I Work I’m collaborative, direct, and execution-focused. My goal is to make HR feel clear, manageable, and aligned with your business goals — not overwhelming or reactive. If you’re unsure which engagement makes sense, I’m happy to start with a short discovery conversation and recommend the best path forward. Strong companies aren’t built by accident — they’re built with intention, clarity, and the right people systems in place.
