OUR STORY

It started with a question nobody expected..

In 2003, the partners at F.H. Black & Company hired Sue to find new clients.

Two months in, they changed the ask:

“We don’t need more clients. We need staff.”

That pivot set everything in motion.

Five people.
Every level of HR expertise.

Susan Black, CPHR

20+ years building HR departments, managing complex investigations, and advising business owners on their most sensitive people decisions. Sue founded the practice and still leads every major engagement.

HOW WE WORK

We don’t consult from the outside, we work from the inside.

Most HR consultants parachute in, deliver a report, and disappear. That’s not us.

We show up to your team meetings. We learn your people’s names. We answer their questions directly — on your email, in your Slack, at your office. Over time, your employees stop thinking of us as “the HR company.” They just think of us as their HR team.

That’s by design. It’s the only way this kind of work actually works.

“We don’t just offer a service.
We really do partner with our clients.
I like them to see us as their internal HR team.”

FHB HR — What sets us apart
WHAT SETS US APART

The details matter. We don’t skip them.

There’s a reason our clients stay with us for years.

It comes down to how seriously we take every engagement —
regardless of size.

We recruit differently

We don’t blast job postings and forward resumes. We learn your business first — your culture, your team dynamics, what’s worked before and what hasn’t. Then we source candidates through our own networks, run proprietary assessment sessions, and put them through multiple rounds before they ever reach your desk. After placement, we check in at one week, one month, three months — and we keep checking in years later.

We catch what others miss

Investigations, employee handbooks, employment agreements — these documents carry real legal weight. We review every detail with precision because we’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t. We’ve walked into organizations and found compliance gaps that previous consultants missed entirely.

We’re honest about what you need

If your business has outgrown fractional HR and needs someone full-time in-house, we’ll tell you. We’ve done it before — helped clients build their own HR departments on the foundation we put in place, then stepped back. That’s what a successful engagement looks like to us.

What Strong HR Looks Like

WHERE WE’RE HEADED

Growing with intention.

We’re not trying to become the biggest HR consulting firm in the country. We’re building something more deliberate than that.

Our growth strategy is simple: add capacity only when it makes our clients’ experience better, not just our revenue bigger. Every new team member goes through the same embedded approach — learning your business from the inside, not managing you from a distance.

The goal isn’t scale for the sake of scale. It’s making sure that when you call us, someone who actually knows your business picks up the phone.
