Managed Services
Your HR function, run by a senior partner, without the overhead of building it in-house. Three ongoing models, from core people operations to executive-level partnership, so you can start where you are and scale as you grow.
Three Ways to Partner.
Every partnership is scoped to the workstreams you need most, not a one-size bundle.
HR & People Operations as a Service
Complete management of your core HR function, augmented or fully outsourced, so your team can scale and stay focused.
Strategic HR Leadership as a Service
Fractional CHRO-level leadership on a monthly partnership: executive judgment for your people function without the full-time hire.
Executive Search as a Service
An ongoing search partnership for the senior roles that shape your trajectory, with assessment and onboarding built in. Executive placements only, never high-volume recruiting.
Every model runs on the Ascend Framework and is delivered by named senior advisors.
Delivered by named senior advisors, never a rotating account team.
Coverage across all three models: people operations, strategic leadership, and executive search.
Six-month, one-year, and two-year partnership options, priced on employee count, workstreams, and complexity.
