Fractional HR Directors
Senior-Level HR Leadership. On Your Terms.
It's no secret: fast-growing businesses face mounting people challenges. From compliance and culture to performance and leadership—your team can't thrive without the right guidance.
Our Fractional HR Directors embed directly into your business, offering the experience, clarity, and leadership you need to break through your growth barriers — without the cost of a full-time hire.
What is a Fractional HR Director?
A Fractional HR Director is a highly experienced HR leader who works with your business part-time. You get access to senior-level strategic insight and operational support, without committing to a full-time salary, benefits or overheads.
Whether you need help navigating change, fixing people problems, or building a scalable HR structure — we bring the capability, ownership, and commercial perspective to make it happen.
Why Choose Insightful?
We don't offer generic advice. Our HRDs roll up their sleeves and get to work from day one.
Immediate Impact
We identify what's not working and take action — fast.
Embedded Leadership
We operate as part of your senior team, aligning people with performance.
Flexible & Scalable
Only pay for the support you need. Scale up or down at any time.
Real-World Experience
Our Directors have led HR across FTSE businesses, startups, scaleups, and everything in between.
Delivery, Not Just Strategy
We implement change with you — not from the sidelines.
Common People Pains We Solve
"People problems" are taking up more of your time than running your business
Managers promoted without training are struggling to lead
You're growing fast — but culture and communication haven't kept up
HR issues are reactive, not strategic
Leadership feels disjointed or lacking direction
Compliance is falling behind, and you're exposed to risk
You know you need to invest in people — but don't know where to start
