Hello Generalist

The startup community's home for part-time hiring

Hire part-timers, advisors, and project doers from our vetted network of accomplished operators across growth, product, operations, HR, finance, and more. We'll help you scope your role, match you to a short-list to interview, then handle the paperwork and payments.

Exemplary people for contract hire — early employees from iconic brands, former founders, seasoned execs, and scrappy do-ers who you can hire for fractional roles, special projects, and as advisors.

Get introduced to the people behind winning teams across operations, growth, product, finance, HR, marketing, sales, project management, and so much more.

If you don't have the need or the budget for a full-time hire, talk to us to scope your role, then get matched to 3 - 5 wildly qualified people to interview. When you're ready to start, we'll handle all the paperwork and payments so you can get right to work.

We found the PERFECT fit. Without HG, it would've taken a really long time to land someone as good as her. For a fast moving startup like us, HG was so incredibly helpful.

I had never made an ops hire before and didn't even know where to start. HG was amazing in helping me scope out the role, find the right candidates, design our interview process, and bring in an amazing hire so I could get out of the weeds and actually think about how to scale my company.

Yeeland C.

Things are going really well with Shruti! It's been great to have her in our corner and helping her across the business, beyond even customer success-specific things. I actually feel hopeful again! In hindsight, we would have benefited from having a fractional generalist working with us from day 1 the way we had legal + accounting help from day 1.
