Fractional HR & Talent Leadership

People strategy
built to scale with you.

JALT Growth Partners embeds senior HR leadership directly into your organisation — giving you the strategic depth of a Chief People Officer and the operational rigour of a seasoned HR team, without the overhead of full-time hires.

Our approach

A complete HR function.
Without the overhead.

Most growing organisations reach a point where HR becomes mission-critical — but a full in-house team isn't yet justified. We sit inside that gap with intention.

You work directly with Jillian on HR strategy and people operations, and with John on talent acquisition and recruitment. One partnership. Two specialists. No layers in between.

I

Assess

We begin with a structured review of your current people practices, identifying gaps and opportunities that form the basis of a clear HR roadmap.

II

Build

We construct the HR infrastructure your business needs — policies, processes, compliance frameworks, and talent architecture — designed to scale.

III

Sustain

Ongoing embedded partnership ensures your people function evolves alongside your business, with proactive leadership rather than reactive support.

Our services

Tailored engagements.
Measurable outcomes.

Foundation

HR Diagnostic

A focused, time-bound review of your existing people infrastructure. We examine compliance, culture, compensation, and process — and deliver a prioritised roadmap with clear next steps.

$6,000 – $7,000
Build

Infrastructure Build

For organisations starting from scratch or following a diagnostic, we design and implement the HR foundations your business requires: handbooks, compliance structures, onboarding, and performance systems.

$12,000 – $28,000
Ongoing

Fractional HR Retainer

Embedded, ongoing HR leadership and operational support across strategy, compliance, employee relations, and people programmes — without committing to a full-time salary.

$4,500 – $12,000 / month
Talent

Recruiting

Two ways to engage. As part of a Fractional Retainer, recruiting for all roles below Director is included — Director and above carries a 10% placement fee. Standalone searches are available on a contingent basis at 20%, backed by a 90-day guarantee.

Our team model

You don't get a consultant.
You get a team.

Every JALT engagement is led directly by our founding partners — no junior bench, no hand-offs. Two specialists, fully accountable for the work.

HR & People Operations

Senior strategic leadership and day-to-day execution in one — organisational design, culture, compliance, employee relations, HRIS management, and board-level reporting, all from a single accountable partner.

Talent Acquisition & Executive Recruitment

Dedicated recruiting capability to identify, attract, and secure exceptional candidates — embedded within the engagement to ensure cultural and strategic alignment.

About us

Built for businesses
that are ready to grow.

"We believe the companies that grow with intention are the ones that invest in their people first. Our mission is to make senior HR leadership accessible to every organisation at the moment they need it most — not just the ones with the budget for a full C-suite."

JALT Growth Partners was founded on the conviction that people operations is not a back-office function — it is a growth lever. We work exclusively with scaling businesses that are ready to treat HR as a strategic asset, not an administrative overhead.
