About

Unity by Design HR exists because small nonprofits deserve senior HR leadership without a senior HR salary.

Unity by Design HR is a fractional HR and talent acquisition firm. We've sat on both sides of the hiring table, as the desperate hiring manager and the frustrated candidate, and we build HR systems that hold up under real scrutiny.

We work with the organizations that need that experience most and can afford it least: nonprofits running lean on mission and margin.

Why nonprofits

Mission-driven organizations run on trust.

Trust with staff, boards, and funders. One mishandled termination, one wage-and-hour claim, or one misclassified worker can cost more than a year of HR support. Funders are asking harder questions about organizational capacity. We help you answer them.

How we work

Senior attention on every account.

No handoffs, no junior staff learning on your account. One point of contact, replies within one business day, plain-English guidance. When you need a lawyer, a payroll provider, or a benefits broker, we'll point you to the right specialist.
