Transitional HR Success Story

The Challenge

A 500-employee healthcare company's CHRO resigned unexpectedly during a critical period — they were mid-way through an HRIS migration, had annual open enrollment starting in 6 weeks, and faced a pending DOL audit. The executive search for a permanent replacement was projected to take 4-6 months.

Our Solution

We placed an interim CHRO within 5 business days — a former VP of HR from a major health system. She immediately took over the HRIS migration, led the open enrollment process, prepared documentation for the DOL audit, and provided day-to-day leadership to the 8-person HR team while mentoring two senior HR managers as potential internal successors.

The Result

The HRIS migration completed on time and under budget. Open enrollment achieved 96% participation. The DOL audit closed with zero findings. One of the mentored HR managers was promoted to VP of HR, and the transition to permanent leadership was seamless. Total engagement lasted 5 months at 60% of the cost of a full-time CHRO.
