ABOUT US

Showing Up Like We Work for You.
Because That is Exactly What We Do.

You built a business. You shouldn’t have to become an HR expert to protect it. When something goes sideways, you shouldn’t face it alone.

Our team specializes in fractional HR consulting for DFW businesses (and beyond!) to ensure your company thrives.

Starbucks, Intuit, Ben E. Keith are just a handful of the companies we’ve worked with and the frameworks are the same ones Fortune 50 companies use. The fees are not. That’s the whole idea.

“Trust Earned by Being Exactly Who We Say We Are. We’re the same team on call five months in as we were on day one.”

Your HR Rescue team, and the people still standing after the smoke clears.

HOW WE OPERATE

The same fractional HR consulting team on call five months in as we were on day one.

We work for you.

Not for the process, not for the audit trail, not to cover ourselves. We take the position that is right for your business and your people.

We move fast.

Proposals in 24 hours. Work starts in 48. When an employee files a complaint on a Thursday afternoon, you shouldn't have to wait until Monday to get guidance.

We tell you the truth.

If your plan creates more legal risk than it solves, we'll say so. If you're ready to hire full-time HR, we'll say that too. Candor is what builds trust.

CLIENT STORIES

I've had some experience working with recruiters, Kelly has been the best by far. Her communication is top notch. She kept me in the loop every step of the way as well as getting back to me promptly every time. Next steps are out of her hands, but the screening and initial interviews from her firm made the process seamless.

Justin at TX HR Team has been an incredible partner for us since mid August. In just a few months, he helped us formalize our HR policies and publish our first Employee Handbook. Our main goal this quarter was to hire an operations manager, and he helped us achieve this goal in record time by assisting with the job posting, screening, and interviews. More important than speed is that he helped us identify an exceptional candidate who is a strong match culturally and technically.

During this same time, he also supported us through an unexpected termination and gave us the clarity and confidence we needed to handle the situation well.

What stands out most is the way Justin works. He brings deep expertise (SPHR and GPHR certified) along with flexibility, responsiveness, and alignment with our mission and family culture. He is not simply advising us. He is helping us scale while staying true to our values.
