Fractional CHRO Services
Strategic HR Leadership, Without the Full-Time Overhead
Your business is growing rapidly, but hiring a full-time HR executive may not be financially or operationally feasible yet. Culture On Camera offers Fractional CHRO services for scaling companies that need senior-level HR strategy, systems, and structure without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
We help you build the right HR foundation now, so by the time your business is ready for a full-time HR leader, the heavy lifting is done. That first hire doesn’t need to be a strategic executive. They can step into a well-documented, high-functioning system that’s ready to maintain and evolve, saving you both time and money.
You're hiring reactively, not strategically
You might not need a full HR department, but you’re definitely past the point of winging it.​
Leadership is burned out managing people challenges
Culture is getting messy as you grow
HR compliance is starting to feel like a liability
You're not sure when or how to hire for HR
The Problems we Solve
What You Get With a Fractional CHRO
We embed directly into your team as your senior HR partner, leading people strategy and operational design. We build with your endgame in mind so your systems scale, even before your headcount does.
Services may include:
Workforce planning and organizational design
Recruiting strategy and recruiter oversight
Leadership coaching and manager enablement
Onboarding, engagement, and offboarding systems
Culture assessments and employee feedback systems
Performance management programs that actually work
HR metrics and reporting for executive or investor visibility
Compliance oversight (multi-state, international, EOR, contractor risk)
Case Study
This scaling tech company came to us with an established HR foundation, but they knew it wasn’t built to support fast growth. They didn’t need a full-time CHRO, but they needed strategic HR leadership to modernize and scale their people operations.

What We've Done So Far
Conducted a full HR gap analysis and roadmap for scalable growth
Redesigned and implemented a bi-annual performance review process
Led a compensation review to bring pay practices in line with market and equity standards
Audited and updated core HR policies and documentation
Implemented key tools in the HR tech stack (including performance management, engagement, and onboarding software)
Hired 16 team members to support expansion
Reduced outsourced recruitment agency fees by over $200,000
The result? A scalable, modern HR system that supports rapid growth without overburdening leadership. They’re continuing to grow, and with our fractional support in place, they’re able to delay a full-time HR hire while still operating like a much larger, more mature organization.
