It's What you know Wednesday — A company hits 25-30 people, someone says "we need HR," and they start looking to bring on a full-time hire. But with 30 employees, you don't have 40 hours a week of HR work yet. You probably have 10-15. And a full-time hire comes with benefits, taxes, and overhead that add up fast.
What you actually need is someone who can build your compensation framework, clean up your messy handbook, help you navigate tricky employee relations, strengthen your office environment, and set up an actual onboarding process. Strategic stuff that requires real experience, not busy work that fills a calendar.
When you hire someone full-time before you have full-time work, one of two things happens. Either they're underutilized and bored, or they start creating work trying to justify their existence.
When you bring on an experienced HR leader as a Consultant, you get experienced support without the overhead. You get someone who's done this before, at multiple companies, who can come in and build what you need right now. Not what you might need in two years.
Think of HR On The Spot as building the foundation. Save the full-time hire for when you actually need 40 hours a week. If this is you, get strategic support that matches where you are and reach out today.
