Why fractional
No full-time HR needed
Get senior HR thinking without the cost of a full-time hire.
Start small, scale up
Begin with one project and add ongoing support only when it pays off.
Sparkly-powered decisions
Every recommendation is grounded in Sparkly's people, role and team data.
Who it's for
Built for the moment your business outgrows informal people decisions
Growing SMBs without an HR lead
10–150 people, founder or COO carries HR decisions, no senior HR in-house yet.
Scaling startups
Hiring fast, role definitions are blurry, team structure changes every quarter.
Companies in restructuring
Roles, responsibilities or team composition need to change — and the people risk is real.
Founders preparing for the next stage
Investor-readiness, scale-up, or a leadership transition that needs a clean people foundation.
The four services
One framework, four ways to bring senior HR expert support in
Each service is a self-contained product. Most companies start with the HR Audit, then continue with whichever path the audit reveals — Recruiting, Restructuring or Operational Support.
One-time service
HR Audit
Diagnose people, roles and structure
A one-time diagnostic that brings clarity to people, roles, team structure, and workforce risks. Ideal as a starting point when leadership knows something is off, but cannot yet see exactly where the real issues sit.
- Review of people, roles and responsibilities
- Team setup and reporting-line review
- Workforce risk areas identified
- Clear summary of findings
- Recommended next steps
One-time project
Recruiting
Hire the right person for the right role
A project-based service that helps define the right role, assess candidate fit, and improve hiring decisions. Designed to reduce expensive hiring mistakes and move beyond CV-based guesswork.
- Hiring need clarification
- Role profiling beyond a job ad
- Candidate fit assessment
- Finalist comparison
- Hiring manager advisory
- Onboarding design (optional)
One-time project
Restructuring
Redesign roles, teams and responsibilities
A project-based service for redesigning roles, reallocating responsibilities, and improving team structure. Best used during growth, change, or performance pressure, when the organisation needs a smarter people setup.
- Restructuring readiness review
- Role redesign
- Responsibility reallocation
- Team redesign recommendations
- Internal redeployment options
- Change-risk mapping
Monthly service · fixed hours
Operational Support
Your fractional people partner, every month
Monthly Fractional HR support with a fixed number of hours. Built for SMBs that need ongoing people and organisational support without hiring a full-time senior HR leader.
- Fractional HR partner for leadership

How services connect
Start with the audit. Continue with what it reveals.
The most common path: start with the HR Audit. From there, continue with the project or service that fits the actual problem.
HR Audit
Diagnose first
Recruiting
If the answer is: we need a new hire, done right.
Restructuring
If the answer is: roles, teams or responsibilities need to change.
Operational Support
If the answer is: we need a senior people partner every month.
Why Sparkly-powered
Not just an HR consultant. A platform-backed people partner.
Sparkly is more than a test. It's the underlying people intelligence platform that makes our Fractional HR work measurably sharper than traditional HR consulting.
Less subjectivity
Decisions grounded in data on personality, work style, energy and fit — not gut feeling.
Sharper recommendations
Recommendations are anchored in concrete profiles and patterns, not generic HR advice.
Person + role + manager + team as one
We never look at a person in isolation — every recommendation considers their role, manager and team.
Strategic, not administrative
We focus on the decisions that move the business — not paperwork or process.
Concrete decision points
You get specific decisions to take, not a long, vague report.
