Fractional HR that grows with you.
Outsourced HR for small businesses across Montana: a senior HR partner on call, without a full-time hire.
Outsourced HR that grows with you.
A fractional HR manager gives you senior-level expertise for a fraction of a full-time HR salary and its benefits load. Mountain HR Consulting offers HR outsourcing for small businesses in Montana, covering everything from handbooks to compliance, delivered through an ongoing HR Business Partnership; see the tiers and pricing.
You get a consistent HR partner who learns your business, answers questions in real time, and handles the parts of HR you don't want to handle yourself, without the cost and commitment of hiring someone in-house.
Outcome: ongoing HR support sized to your business, not a one-size-fits-all package.
When outsourcing makes sense.
You've outgrown DIY
Hiring, compliance, and people questions are eating your week.
You're not ready for FT
A full-time HR hire isn't justified yet; fractional bridges the gap.
You want continuity
Same person, every conversation, growing knowledge of your business.

You're not limited to these packages.
The partnership tiers are the most common way to work with us, but the rest of what we do is project work: handbooks, job descriptions, SOPs, compensation analysis, hiring support, and more. Anything we'd tackle as an initiative inside a partnership can also be scoped as a one-time project, priced up front. Not sure which fits? A quick conversation is the best place to start.
