What Is Fractional HR Support? How LiftOps Helps Startups and Nonprofits Scale

If you're a lean startup or growing nonprofit, you've probably faced this dilemma: you need strategic HR, operations, and administrative support, but hiring a full-time team member or leadership is too expensive or premature. That's where LiftOps comes in.

What is LiftOps?

LiftOps is a fractional HR, Admin, and Operations partner for early-stage startups and nonprofit organizations. We offer C-suite level expertise in people operations, compliance, systems building, and administrative processes without the cost of a full-time hire.

Whether you're hiring your first employees, building out internal policies, or looking to scale with systems that actually work, LiftOps helps you unlock your team's ability to focus on what matters most: growth and impact.

Why Startups and Nonprofits Use Fractional HR & Operations Support

Startups and nonprofits often hit a point where founders are doing everything from recruiting and onboarding to payroll, benefits, administration, and setting up systems. It's exhausting and unsustainable.

LiftOps fills this gap by offering fractional operations support tailored to organizations that need experienced leadership but aren't ready for a full-time Chief of Staff, COO, or Head of People.

1. HR & People Ops

   • Employee handbook creation and policy development

   • State and federal compliance

2. Hiring & Team Growth

   • Sourcing and coordinating interviews

   • Designing structured interview processes and scorecards
