Fractional HR & Talent Advisor (Contract)

Hey, I’m Avery, Founder & CEO of Bloom. We’re a workplace consultancy that partners with founder-led, growing small to mid-sized companies who are bold enough to prioritize strong people systems, early. The companies we work with know that building inclusive, high-performing workplaces doesn’t happen by accident. They’re invested. They care. They just don’t need a full-time HR hire (yet).

This is a contract role (2-3 days per week) where you’ll act as a fractional HR partner for one of our clients, co-building, crafting, and implementing people systems that create the foundation for thriving, high-performing cultures. You’ll get to do meaningful, strategic work while still being hands-on with the day-to-day. And you’ll have the support of our Bloom collective beside you.

At Bloom, we’re not your typical HR consultancy. We work with founder-led, purpose-driven companies who’ve made the smart choice to prioritize their people early. Most of our clients are small to mid-sized businesses (think 10–150 employees) that know building an intentional, inclusive culture doesn’t just happen—it takes work.

They care deeply about creating strong, scalable people systems that align with their values, but they don’t need a full-time HR hire just yet. What they need is an expert partner who can help them build it right the first time.

We embed ourselves as fractional HR and DEI partners, providing leadership coaching, HR advisory, recruitment support, and the hands-on work of building policies, systems, and processes that are inclusive by design. Whether it’s making a client’s very first hire, designing progressive people policies, or guiding a founder through a tricky team challenge—we’re in it with them, doing the work that shapes high-performing, human-first workplaces. We don’t believe in band-aid solutions or corporate jargon. We believe in co-creating better workplaces with the people who are bold enough to build them differently.

We're looking for a Sr. Talent & HR Advisor to join our team on a contract basis (2-3 days per week). This role is tied to a dynamic and ongoing client engagement, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a forward-thinking organization. This is a remote-first role open to candidates in Ontario, Canada, with occasional onsite client visits as needed.

Are you an experienced HR professional passionate about shaping workplace culture and driving talent strategy? We'd love to hear from you!

We believe transparency matters, especially as technology evolves.At Bloom, we may leverage AI as a supportive tool when developing role descriptions, interview questions, take home assignments, and interview guides, where appropriate, with the goal of improving 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 care deeply about offering all applicants a fair and consistent selection process. While we’d love to connect with every candidate individually, we’re unable to accommodate one-on-one conversations before the interview stage. Keeping our process structured helps us reduce bias and ensure we’re selecting facilitators 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 require accommodations during the application process, please reach out to erica@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 we appreciate you considering Bloom as part of your journey.
