Drake Fractional HR Solutions provides flexible access to experienced HR leaders and specialists, scaled to your needs and aligned to your priorities.

Drake International Fractional HR Solutions offer a practical alternative. We provide organizations with access to experienced HR leaders and specialist – improving decision-making, reducing risk, and strengthening performance without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Fractional CHRO

Without strategic HR leadership, growing organizations manage people reactively – often at higher cost and risk. A strategic HR partner brings clarity, judgment, and direction to critical people decisions, helping reduce risk, strengthen performance, and support profitable growth.

Drake’s Fractional HR Services give you access to experienced, senior‑level HR leadership – embedded with your team, aligned to your priorities, and scaled to your needs. Our experts have a minimum of ten years of experience working in CHRO roles.

 

Benefits of a fractional CHRO

  • Make better people decision – faster and with less risk.
  • Turn people from a growing cost into a strategic advantage with a people strategy tightly aligned to growth, performance and business priorities.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate people, compliance and organizational risk.
  • Provide other leaders with more time to focus on growing the business versus dealing with people-related issues

Fractional HR Manager

Not every organization needs a full‑time HR Manager –but many need the judgment of one. Without experienced HR management, organizations often operate reactively: performance issues linger, managers make inconsistent decisions, people-related costs rise, documentation gaps emerge, and compliance risks build. Over time, this leads to higher turnover, disengaged employees, avoidable legal exposure, and leaders spending too much time managing people problems instead of growing the business.

Drake’s Fractional HR Services provide ongoing, part-time HR leadership at the Manager level, to bring consistency, discipline, compliance and confidence to people decisions without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

 

Benefits of a fractional HR Manager

  • Handle day-to-day HR issues promptly and professionally, reducing escalation and disruption.
  • Improved employee experience through consistent policies, practices, and communication.
  • Relive leaders and managers from HR administration and people problem solving.
  • Build a strong operational HR foundation to supports future growth.

 

Fractional HR Specialists

Many organizations need deep, specialized expertise for a specific issue, initiative, or period of change without hiring full time or over buying consulting support.

In addition to Fractional CHRO and HR Manager services, Drake provides fractional access to specialist HR talent, matched precisely to your business needs and desired outcomes.

 

Benefits of a fractional HR Specialist

  • Get access to deep, specialized HR expertise without long term commitment.
  • Lower cost than hiring, onboarding, and retaining niche full time roles.
  • Avoid lengthy talent acquisition processes.
  • Scale expertise up or down as needs change.
