Hey, I’m Avery, Founder & CEO of Bloom. We’re a workplace consultancy that partners with founder-led, growing small to mid-sized companies that are bold enough to build strong people systems early. The organizations we support understand that creating inclusive, high-performing workplaces doesn’t happen by chance—it’s intentional. They’re committed and they care, but they don’t yet need a full-time HR hire.

That’s where you come in.

This is a part-time contract role in which you’ll serve as a fractional Recruiting Partner for our clients. You’ll build, improve, and execute talent acquisition processes that help teams grow with the right people. You’ll lead strategic hiring initiatives while staying hands-on with sourcing, screening, and managing the full recruitment cycle, with the backing of the Bloom collective throughout.

Who We Are (and Who We Work With)

Bloom isn’t a typical HR consultancy. We work with founder-led, purpose-driven companies that made the smart choice to prioritize their people early. Most of our clients are small to mid-sized businesses (10–150 employees) that know building an intentional, inclusive culture takes work—not luck.

They deeply value creating strong, scalable people systems that reflect their values, but they aren’t ready for a full-time HR role yet. What they need is an expert partner who can help them get it right from the start.

We step in as fractional HR and DEI partners, providing leadership coaching, HR advisory, recruitment support, and the hands-on work of building inclusive-by-design policies, systems, and processes. Whether it’s supporting a client’s first hire, developing progressive people policies, or guiding founders through complex team challenges, we work alongside them to shape high-performing, people-first workplaces.

We don’t believe in quick fixes or corporate jargon. We believe in co-creating better workplaces with the people bold enough to build them differently.

More about us: Fractional Work, Full Support

– You’ll be the face of Recruitment for your client, but you won’t work in isolation. At Bloom, we work fractionally—but collectively. Advisors support one another, share resources, troubleshoot issues, and learn together.
– You’ll have input into which clients you support and how we work with them. We don’t take on just anyone—values alignment matters for both you and us.
– Fractional work isn’t “less than.” It’s intentional. It’s for people who want meaningful work, variety, and flexibility without being tied to one desk 40+ hours a week. It requires agility, autonomy, and a collaborative mindset—if that fits you, you’ll feel at home here.

$45–$55 an hour

At Bloom, compensation is discussed openly and honestly. Early in the interview process, we’ll confirm that you’re comfortable with compensation within the listed range. As you learn more about the role and the full compensation package, we always welcome you to share if your expectations change. We’ll also hold three check-ins during the process to ensure alignment, so that when you reach an offer, it feels clear, fair, and mutual.

Our Use of AI in Hiring

We believe transparency matters. As technology evolves, Bloom may use AI as a supportive tool when developing role descriptions, interview questions, take-home assignments, and interview guides—when appropriate—to improve clarity, consistency, and accessibility for candidates. However, we do not use AI to source, assess, screen, or interview candidates. Every application is reviewed by a human, every interview is conducted by a human, and all hiring decisions are made by people—not automated systems. Human judgment, care, and accountability are central to how we hire.

We also care deeply about providing a fair and consistent selection process for all applicants. While we’d love to connect with every candidate individually, we’re not able to accommodate one-on-one conversations before the interview stage. Keeping our process structured helps reduce bias and ensures we evaluate candidates based on skills, experience, and alignment with our mission.

Bloom is committed to equity and inclusion in our hiring. If you’re a person with a disability and need accommodations during the application process, please reach out to shav@buildwithbloom.com—we’ll work with you to meet your needs at every stage. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, including those from historically marginalized communities.

We know there are many great opportunities out there, so thank you for considering Bloom as part of your journey.
