Fractional HR: the smartest thing growing companies do before they can afford a VP of People.

BEFORE

40 employees. No HR lead. The founder approves leave, finance runs payroll, and the handbook still mentions a fax machine.

Typical result:

- Payroll takes 4 days every cycle

- SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG remittances are "mostly right"

- Time-to-fill sits at 58 days

- Founder spends 14 hours a week on HR

AFTER (90 days of fractional HR)

- HR audit and statutory reconciliation done

- Payroll prep down to 1.5 days

- Job scorecards and structured interviews in place

- Time-to-fill down to 31 days

- Founder HR time down to 3 hours a week

Why it works: a full-time VP of People can cost ₱1.8M to ₱3.8M a year fully loaded. Most 40-person companies need 8 to 15 hours a week of that expertise, not 40.

Fractional HR fits best at 15 to 100 employees, during fast growth, before funding or an audit, or when your HR lead just left. It is not the right fit at 300+ employees, or if you want someone to rubber-stamp shortcuts.
