How People work changes as you grow

The real pressure is not just hiring.
It’s everything that comes after.

As a company grows, the People work expands quickly — payroll, onboarding, recruiting, retention, manager support, policies, and the systems behind all of it. The goal is to build enough structure that the business no longer depends on the owner for every People decision.

01

People Operations

02

Talent Acquisition

Where IGY SIX fits

When the People side of the business starts taking over.

IGY SIX is built for companies in the 10–75 employee range where hiring, onboarding, payroll, manager questions, retention, and day-to-day People work are still being carried by the founder, ops leader, managers, or a small HR team. We add structure and capacity before a full internal People function makes sense.

What starts showing up
01

People work keeps rolling uphill.

Employee questions, offers, payroll issues, and People decisions keep finding their way back to the founder or ops lead because ownership is still informal.

02

Growth is outrunning the way you hire and onboard.

Recruiting and onboarding happen differently every time, managers fill the gaps themselves, and new hires are left to figure too much out on their own.

03

The People side is getting harder to manage informally.

Payroll, employee records, classifications, multi-state requirements, and basic documentation are becoming too important to keep managing through memory and workarounds.

04

Employee issues depend too much on judgment in the moment.

Without consistent documentation or a clear process, manager conversations, performance issues, and employee decisions create unnecessary uncertainty for the business.

05

You need more capability, not a full department.

The business needs experienced People Operations and recruiting support, but building a full internal HR, People, and Talent Acquisition team is still more than the company needs.

What People Operations looks like here

Payroll support, onboarding and offboarding, manager support, retention, employee documentation, practical policies, total rewards guidance, and the People systems that keep the business moving.

Where the problem becomes visible

Growth doesn’t just create more hiring.
It creates more People work.

Hiring is often where the strain shows up first. But for a growing business, hiring rarely stands alone. Payroll, onboarding, manager support, retention, policies, and employee questions all start competing for the same leadership time. IGY SIX plugs into both sides: the People Operations work that keeps the business running and the Talent Acquisition work that keeps it growing.

What we take off your plate

People Operations + Recruiting,
working together.

You do not need a menu of HR consulting services. You need the day-to-day People work handled and the recruiting work moving. IGY SIX provides both on a fractional basis for growing companies that are not ready to build the full internal team.

People Operations

The People side of the business
still has to get done.

As a company grows, someone has to own the practical People work that used to sit with the owner, an operator, or whoever had time. IGY SIX can plug in before that work justifies a full internal HR or People Operations team.

  • Payroll administration and support
  • Onboarding and offboarding
  • Benefits and total rewards support
  • Employee records and People systems
  • Policies, SOPs, and practical workflows
  • Manager and employee support
  • Retention and early-turnover analysis
Talent Acquisition

Recruiting capacity
without the full recruiting team.

Fractional Talent Acquisition, fractional recruiting, recruiting support, and outsourced recruiting all describe the same practical need: somebody has to own the work of finding and moving the right people through the hiring process.

  • Job descriptions and role definition
  • Candidate sourcing and outreach
  • Screening and vetting
  • Interview coordination
  • Hiring-manager support
  • Offer support
  • ATS and recruiting workflows as needed

Why IGY SIX

Founder-led.
Veteran-owned.
Operator-minded.

I built IGY SIX for companies that have outgrown informal hiring and People practices but are not ready to build the full internal function.

IGY SIX is intentionally founder-led. The person learning your business and shaping the approach is the same person accountable for the work — no handoff from salesperson to account manager to recruiter.

My background spans U.S. Army recruiting and leadership, enterprise talent acquisition, People Operations, manufacturing, BPO, healthcare, SaaS, and global technology. I have built recruiting teams, systems, sourcing strategies, hiring workflows, and practical People infrastructure inside complex operating environments.

The goal is not simply to complete People tasks or fill openings. It is to add the capability the business needs now, take meaningful People + recruiting work off leadership’s plate, and give owners and operators capacity back.
