Everything you need to engage strategic HR talent

From tactical operators to strategic executives — built for Series A–C startups, PE-backed mid-market firms, and independent consultancies.

Properly vetted talent

Every professional sits through structured interviews and has their credentials independently checked — SHRM, CIPD, and beyond. If we wouldn't hire them, they don't get in.

An ecosystem, not a job board

Peer community, mentorship, and L&D partnerships keep our professionals sharp — and your projects in expert hands.

Transparent pricing

Post projects for free. Pay a clear platform fee only when you actively engage a professional for a project or retainer.

Works with your stack

Integrations with your ATS, HRIS, Slack, Zoom, and DocuSign streamline collaboration from day one.

Traditional HR hiring wasn't built for how you work today.

Companies need senior HR expertise in flexible doses — not a six-month search, an inflated agency fee, or an unvetted stranger from a generic marketplace.

Retained search takes months and costs a fortune

Generic freelance sites can’t verify HR credentials

Full-time hires don’t fit project-based needs

Agencies mark up rates without adding transparency

Unvetted contractors put compliance and culture at risk

The Hrpushs standard

We say no to most applicants, so you don't have to

A marketplace is only as strong as its weakest profile — we learned that lesson the hard way, as clients of other platforms. So every professional on Hrpushs clears a four-stage vetting process before they can accept a single engagement, and stays accountable long after.

  • Credential verification

    SHRM, CIPD, employment-law accreditations, and degree credentials are independently verified before any profile goes live.

  • Structured expert interviews

    Senior HR practitioners conduct competency-based interviews assessing strategic judgement, stakeholder management, and domain depth.

  • Reference & track-record review

    We speak to previous clients and employers, and review real project outcomes — not just polished case studies.

  • Continuous performance monitoring

    Post-engagement reviews, milestone delivery data, and client satisfaction scores keep the network accountable over time.

From our early access programme

What early partners are telling us

We needed someone to rebuild our compensation bands before a funding round, and honestly expected the usual flood of CVs. Instead we got three strong candidates and hired one within the week.

Priya Raman

COO at a fintech startup, early access partner

What sold me was the briefs. They arrive properly scoped, the contract is already sorted, and I can focus on the actual work instead of the admin around it.

James Whitfield

Independent fractional CHRO, founding network member

We piloted Hrpushs for an ER investigation at one of our portfolio companies. The specialist was excellent, and the milestone structure made it easy to keep the board informed.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to post a project?

Nothing. Posting a project, receiving a shortlist, and interviewing candidates are all free. We charge a clear platform fee only when you actually engage someone — if you don't hire, you don't pay a penny.

How quickly will I receive a shortlist?

Our target is 48 hours from brief to first shortlist. Complex or unusual briefs can take a little longer — we'd rather send you three genuinely strong candidates a day late than pad a list to hit a deadline.

What kinds of engagements does Hrpushs support?

Three models: fractional roles (for example, a CHRO two days per week), fixed-scope projects (compensation reviews, ER investigations, HRIS migrations, organisational design), and ongoing advisory retainers. Contracts, milestones, and payments for all three are managed on-platform.

How are professionals vetted?

Every professional passes a four-stage process: independent credential verification (SHRM, CIPD, and legal accreditations), structured competency interviews with senior practitioners, reference and track-record review, and ongoing post-engagement reviews. We turn away far more applicants than we accept — that's the whole point.

Can Hrpushs work alongside our existing HR team?

Absolutely — most engagements augment an in-house team rather than replace it. Integrations with common ATS, HRIS, Slack, Zoom, and DocuSign tools mean external specialists slot into your existing workflows from day one.

I'm an HR professional. How do I join?

Create a professional account and submit your credentials, specialisms, and references. Our vetting team will walk you through verification and interviews — plan for the whole process to take a couple of weeks, since we check everything properly.
