Part-Time HR Leadership

Need strategic HR leadership but not ready for a full-time hire?

Our Part-Time HR Leadership service fills that gap. We act as your company’s HR leader, guiding your team through growth, solving HR challenges, and building the foundation for a future in-house HR department—all without the cost of a full-time Chief People Officer (or equivalent).

We don’t consider this an outsourced service; we’re part of your team, working alongside you to shape your company culture, develop HR strategies, and manage talent. Whether it's for a project or ongoing support, we help your business thrive as you scale.

Let’s understand this more…

Why hire a part-time HR Leader?

Choosing a part-time HR leader brings huge benefits, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire:

  • Save money: You get experienced HR leadership without paying a full-time salary. You only pay for the time and expertise you need, making it a budget-friendly option for growing businesses.

  • Focused on results: Since we're part-time, we stay laser-focused on delivering the outcomes that matter most. Every hour we spend with you is all about solving problems, improving systems, and driving your business forward.

  • Get the right help when you need it: Whether you’re going through a growth phase, facing tricky HR challenges, or need help building your HR foundation, we’re here to provide exactly what you need, when you need it.

  • Flexibility: You decide how much help you want—we start at 5 hours per week and can do more hours as needed (to help with a hiring round for example or performance review time).

  • Prepare for growth: We’ll help set up the systems and strategies that will keep your business running smoothly as it grows. And when you’re ready for a full-time HR leader, we’ll help you make that transition.

  • Hands-on expertise: We work closely with your leadership team, bringing real, practical solutions to your HR challenges. From hiring and keeping top talent to developing leaders and improving employee engagement, we’ve got the experience to help your business succeed.

  • People first: Your people are your greatest asset. We help you create a work environment where your team feels motivated, valued, and ready to help your business thrive.

How does this service work in practice?


When beginning this journey with us at BloomHQ, we will work with you to understand where you’re at and find someone who would be a great fit for whatever stage your company is at, for your specific needs and for your values. Once we’ve talked about your specific needs, we will introduce you to the People Partner that we think will be the best fit for your team. This may even look like finding someone at a different experience level than C-suite level too, such as a People Experience Manager or Coordinator - we’re really open to hearing what you need and responding to what is best for the stage of your company.

What the recruitment and onboarding journey looks like can be really different depending on your needs so we’ll work with you on what this can look like. Once we connect you to the right HR Leader, we will set up great communication processes between you, BloomHQ and your HR Leader so that there’s tonnes of support and ongoing evaluation of your needs. As your needs change, we’ll work with you to pull different levers to match those needs - this could look like increasing the hours we spend with you, bringing in additional people or finding more specialist support.

Where to from here?

The best place to start is for us to have a chat and take it from there. We have done this heaps of times and will be able to help you figure out what you need - so don’t worry if this is all a bit overwhelming.

Let’s suss it out together.
