Fractional HR consulting in Seattle, WA for founders and growing teams whose people decisions need a steadier hand. Verk Vibe is Washington-based and remote-first, bringing senior HR support without a full-time executive hire.
A Seattle office does not tell the whole story when employees work in Bellevue, Tacoma or from home elsewhere. Start with where people actually work, who manages them and which decisions keep returning to the founder. Build an HR decision map around that footprint, rather than treating a mailing address as the whole business. Your intake should distinguish city locations from the broader Puget Sound team.
When one manager handles an issue informally and another sends every question to the owner, leadership becomes the bottleneck. Fractional support can define the first response, documentation expectations and escalation points. Bring recurring examples: a performance conversation that stalled, a policy managers interpret differently, or an employee-relations issue that keeps resurfacing. The engagement connects those decisions to a practical operating rhythm.
An agreed scope can include leadership check-ins, manager guidance, employee-relations decision support, policy review and clearer ownership of people records. Begin with urgent decisions, then identify the repeat issues that deserve a system. Each output needs an internal owner. Your team continues to run the business while Verk Vibe supplies the senior HR layer and follow-through agreed in the proposal.
