HR Manager is one of the titles we hear most. These are the part-time roles where your experience carries over, what they pay per hour, and the tasks open now. About five hours a week, next to your main job.

HR managers are hired part time by companies that have outgrown informal people practices but are not ready for a full-time HR lead: a handbook, a performance review cycle, a compensation framework, onboarding and offboarding checklists. These are projects with a clear end, plus occasional advice.
Employment rules differ by state and country, so say where you have practised and which laws you know well. Companies will ask about confidentiality; employee cases stay in the company's systems and never in your own notes. If you work in HR at a large employer, avoid side work for direct competitors and for anyone who recruits from the same pool.

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
