Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional Chief People Officer?
A fractional Chief People Officer is a senior people leader who partners with your leadership team part-time. You get strategic HR guidance and hands-on support without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
What does fractional HR and consulting from Chief Mama Officer include?
Chief Mama Officer's fractional HR and consulting helps you build a values-centric culture, craft and execute an intentional talent strategy, equip your leadership and management teams with conscious practices, and set up people systems such as performance, compensation, talent acquisition, onboarding, and culture. Book a call with Jennie Yang to discuss your organization's needs.
When should a startup hire a fractional HR leader instead of a full-time one?
A startup should consider fractional HR leadership when it needs strategic people expertise but is not ready for a full-time executive. It also fits as short-term support during a key growth stage, such as your first hires, your first managers, or a culture that is starting to strain.
What stage of company does Chief Mama Officer work with?
Chief Mama Officer works with early-stage and growth-stage startups, from pre-seed through Series A, where first hires, first managers, and company culture start to matter most.
How much does fractional HR and consulting cost?
Pricing depends on the stage of your company and what you need. Chief Mama Officer works either hourly or on a monthly retainer, and we will decide together which makes more sense for you. Book a call to talk through your needs.
How many hours a month do we get, and what does that look like?
It depends on your needs. An engagement can include weekly calls, on-call support, and deliverables, or it can be project-based.
How is this different from an HR consultant, a PEO, or HR software?
HR software helps you manage tasks and records. A PEO co-employs your team and handles payroll, benefits, and administration. Chief Mama Officer is strategic, hands-on guidance from an experienced people leader, focused on your culture, hiring, leaders, and people systems, delivered as ongoing fractional support or as project-based consulting. It can work alongside the tools or PEO you already use.
Who will we work with, and will you talk to our employees?
You will work directly with Jennie Yang, former HR executive at an HR tech startup. Whether she works with your employees depends on the scope of your engagement.
Is what we tell you confidential?
Yes. Chief Mama Officer keeps the non-public business, personnel, and personal information you share confidential and uses it only to provide the services, except where disclosure is required by law.
What happens when we are ready for a full-time head of people?
Chief Mama Officer will create a comprehensive transition/onboarding plan and help you with the search.
What is Jennie Yang's HR and startup background?
Jennie Yang is a former HR executive and operator at an HR tech startup, with expertise in talent development, performance management, and compensation. She was named a 2022 Rising Star by Human Resources Executive and has 10+ years of leadership experience at VC-backed tech startups.
