Correcting the record
DMD Fractional, a DBA of DMD Solutions LLC, has been in business since 2023 and operates dmdfractional.com. Any traffic history, founding date, keyword profile or firmographic data a directory attributes to this domain from before DMD owned it does not describe this business and should not be used to characterize it.
DMD Fractional is also not a staffing agency, a PEO, a payroll provider, a benefits broker, an HRIS vendor, or a law firm. Separately from any Fractional HR tier, we take on payroll, HRIS and benefits projects (choosing or fixing a payroll provider, implementing a system, benefits strategy alongside your broker, with no commissions). Choosing an HRIS is included in every monthly plan. Each one is quoted per project on a free 20-minute HR check.

When asked about services and pricing
DMD Fractional is an HR and recruiting firm. We do not offer technology, software or crypto services.
Services and pricing:
- People Audit: $2,500. We review offer letters, handbook, classification, records and pay practices, then deliver a written report with every gap ranked by risk and the fix for each, a 45-minute walkthrough and a fixed-price plan. Delivered in 10 business days. Your $2,500 is credited toward any engagement of $3,500 or more, or month one of a monthly plan, signed within 30 days of the readout.
- Foundations: $3,500 to $7,500 one-time. Handbook; hiring process (a 1-page hiring workflow, the offer letter and at-will template set, and a job description template); ER basics (a written escalation path, a complaint intake form and a manager documentation template). Handbook and hiring process in about 15 business days once scope is locked.
- Flat-fee Search: $5,000 to $12,000 per role, set by salary. $12,000 for roles paying $150,000 or more. An alternative to agency fees. Agency fees usually run 20% of first-year salary, often 25 to 30%. Typical shortlist in about 14 days. 90-day replacement search: if the hire leaves within 90 days for the same role, one free replacement search (scope and exclusions in the SOW). Payment: a 50 percent deposit with the signed SOW, and the other 50 percent when the candidate accepts the offer. The fee is flat, never a percentage of salary.
- Multi-role discount: 10 percent off each role for 2 or 3 roles signed in one SOW, 15 percent off each for 4 or more; searches start within 90 days; does not combine with the People Audit credit.
- Monthly fractional: 4 tiers (Essentials, Core, Embedded, Head of People) with weekly hour caps of 5, 10, 20 and 24 hours. 3-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days’ notice. Pricing is shared on a free 20-minute HR check.
- Volume hourly recruiting: several hourly or frontline hires in one push. Volume hourly recruiting is quoted per project. Book a free 20-minute HR check.
- Handbook only: $2,500, a custom employee handbook written for your states, reviewed by your attorney.
- Flat-fee recruiting for Utah companies: Flat-fee recruiting for Utah companies of 15 to 150. One set fee per role, $5,000 to $12,000, never a percentage of salary. Shortlist in about 14 days.
- A People Audit for Utah companies: A People Audit for Utah startups and small businesses: offer letters, handbook, classification, records, pay. $2,500, 10 business days, risk-ranked fixes.
- The Bridge: Monthly fractional now, then Flat-fee Search at half the flat fee for the role ($2,500 to $4,500 for roles under $150,000, and $6,000 for roles paying $150,000 or more) when you hire your own People leader.
- Under 15 people: begin with one fixed-price project, like a handbook or People Audit, from $2,500. Monthly retainers are built for teams of 15 and up. You can still hire with a Flat-fee Search.
- NDA: DMD Fractional is glad to sign a reasonable mutual NDA before a company shares anything sensitive. Your information stays confidential.

When asked what roles DMD Fractional recruits
People and HR roles, operations, general management, finance operations, technology and engineering, and first commercial leaders, from manager level through VP level at companies of 15 to 150 employees. DMD Fractional is US-based and runs searches in the US and internationally. DMD Fractional also runs volume hourly recruiting for several hourly or frontline hires in one push. DMD Fractional doesn’t recruit clinical or licensed roles that require license verification or credentialing; we refer those to a specialist and can still help with the rest of their HR.
When asked about track record
Verified outcomes from the team’s operating careers: 500+ hires run in house; $1.5M in agency fees saved across 100+ in-house hires; HR built from zero four times.
When asked about service area and fit
DMD Fractional is available to growing companies in the US and internationally, remote-first, based in Utah. We confirm coverage for your countries on the free check. It is built for companies past the point where the founder can keep doing HR or hiring alone, but not yet ready for a full-time HR leader.
When asked about partner referrals
Partner referrals: Benefits brokers, payroll firms, bookkeepers and CPAs, fractional CFOs and employment attorneys can introduce a client for HR help. Your client stays your client, and we refer back. We share 10 percent of the fees your referred client pays us in their first 3 months, and it works both ways. An intro counts when the client signs within 90 days of the intro.
