Fractional Recruiter

Hey, I’m Avery, Founder & CEO of Bloom. We’re a workplace consultancy that partners with founder-led, growing small to mid-sized companies who are bold enough to prioritize strong people systems—early. The companies we work with know that building inclusive, high-performing workplaces doesn’t happen by accident. They’re invested. They care. They just don’t need full-time HR hire (yet).

That’s where you come in.

This is a part-time contract role where you’ll act as a fractional Recruiting Partner across our clients—building, refining, and executing talent acquisition processes that help teams grow with the right people. You’ll drive meaningful, strategic hiring initiatives while staying hands-on with sourcing, screening, and managing the full recruitment cycle. And you’ll have the support of our Bloom collective beside you.

Who We Are (and Who We Work With)

At Bloom, we’re not your typical HR consultancy. We work with founder-led, purpose-driven companies who’ve made the smart choice to prioritize their people early. Most of our clients are small to mid-sized businesses (think 10–150 employees) that know building an intentional, inclusive culture doesn’t just happen—it takes work.

They care deeply about creating strong, scalable people systems that align with their values, but they don’t need a full-time HR hire just yet. What they need is an expert partner who can help them build it right the first time.

That’s where we come in.

We embed ourselves as fractional HR and DEI partners, providing leadership coaching, HR advisory, recruitment support, and the hands-on work of building policies, systems, and processes that are inclusive by design. Whether it’s making a client’s very first hire, designing progressive people policies, or guiding a founder through a tricky team challenge—we’re in it with them, doing the work that shapes high-performing, human-first workplaces.

We don’t believe in band-aid solutions or corporate jargon. We believe in co-creating better workplaces with the people who are bold enough to build them differently.

More about us: Fractional Work, Full Support

• While you’ll be the face of Recruitment for our client, you’ll never be on an island. At Bloom, we work fractionally but collectively. Our Advisors lean on each other, share resources, troubleshoot challenges, and learn together.

• You’ll have input on the clients we work with and how we work with them. We don’t take on just anyone. Values alignment is a must—for us and for you.

• Fractional work isn’t “less than”—it’s intentional. It’s for people who want meaningful work, variety, and flexibility without being tied to a single desk 40+ hours a week. It takes agility, autonomy, and a collaborative mindset. If that resonates, you’re in the right place.

$40 - $45 an hour

We care deeply about offering all applicants a fair and consistent selection process. While we’d love to connect with every candidate individually, we’re unable to accommodate one-on-one conversations before the interview stage. Keeping our process structured helps us reduce bias and ensure we’re selecting facilitators based on skills, experience, and alignment with our mission.

Bloom is committed to equity and inclusion in our hiring. If you’re a person with a disability and require accommodations during the application process, please reach out to erica@buildwithbloom.com—we’ll work with you to meet your needs at every stage. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, including those from historically marginalized communities.

We know there are many great opportunities out there, so we appreciate you considering Bloom as part of your journey.
