Relio

Clear terms before work begins.

Every engagement has a defined structure, commitment, and terms agreed before any work starts. Fees are set once we've discussed the scope, level of support, and complexity of the work.

Most people start with a scoped piece of work and scale up only if it makes sense.

Engagement What it's for Structure Start
Talent Systems Architecture & Advisory Diagnose what isn't working, design the future state, and create the roadmap to get there. Monthly engagement · scheduled working blocks · month-to-month Book an intake call
AI Talent Engineer AI workflows, automations, integrations, and the checks that catch where AI is confidently wrong. Monthly engagement · scheduled working blocks · month-to-month Book an intake call
Executive & Specialized Search Leadership seats, business-critical hires, and specialized roles with a narrow pool. Engaged search · staged, split, or monthly fee Book an intake call
Fractional Head of Talent Embedded senior talent leadership plus the systems to scale hiring. 2 days/wk or 60 hrs/mo · 3-month minimum · 30 days notice Book an intake call

Fees are quoted on the intake call and confirmed in writing before work starts. For larger, longer-term, or multi-workstream engagements, a custom structure may make more sense.

Delivery model

How the ongoing work is delivered

Talent Systems Architecture & Advisory and AI Talent Engineer engagements are delivered in scheduled working blocks rather than through on-call support.

  • Delivery time is reserved in advance, typically in half-day blocks. Recurring days can be set where that suits the work.
  • Investigation, design work, working sessions with your team, vendor coordination, and review are handled within the reserved delivery time.
  • Requests that come up in between are collected and worked in the next session.
  • If something needs more capacity in a given month, additional blocks are added.

This exists so the work gets real focus and so the schedule is predictable on both sides. It gives complex systems work enough uninterrupted time to investigate properly, design against what's actually there, and document decisions rather than fragmenting it across small requests.

Where to begin

Start with the problem

Start with an intake call. Bring the problem, not a predetermined service. We'll identify what kind of support actually fits and what the scope should look like. There's no charge for the call, and you'll have a written fee before anything begins.

Engagement questions

Questions about cost

How much does a fractional Head of Talent cost?
The Fractional Head of Talent engagement is two days a week or 60 hours a month, with a 3-month minimum and 30 days notice to end. It's priced as a flat monthly fee, quoted on the intake call.
What's the smallest way to start?
A scoped systems or AI engagement at the 10-hour monthly minimum, running month-to-month. Most people start with one specific problem rather than a broad mandate, and expand from there if it's working.
What does ATS or HRIS architecture and advisory cost?
Talent Systems Architecture & Advisory engagements start at a 10-hour monthly minimum, run month-to-month, and are delivered in scheduled working blocks. The work starts with diagnosis, design, and roadmap: what is actually broken, how the data should be structured, how workflows and approvals should route, and how the platforms should connect. Implementation support can continue through advisory, close partnership with your internal team, or specialist support for the build. Current platform depth includes SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, Lever, JazzHR, Bullhorn, Paylocity, Rippling, Gem, and the integrations between them, with additional platform expertise available through Relio specialists where appropriate.
What does AI hiring systems work cost?
AI Talent Engineer engagements start at the same 10-hour monthly minimum, run month-to-month, and are delivered in scheduled working blocks. They cover AI strategy, system integrations, automations, and the verification checkpoints that catch where AI is confidently wrong before it reaches a candidate or hiring manager.
What does executive search cost?
Search is engaged, with part of the fee committed at kickoff. Three structures are available: staged across kickoff, candidate delivery, and hire; split half at kickoff and half on hire; or a flat monthly fee covering up to three concurrent searches. The total depends on the role, seniority, and market difficulty. More on how search works →
Is there a minimum commitment?
Systems and AI engagements have a 10-hour monthly minimum and run month-to-month. The Fractional Head of Talent retainer has a 3-month minimum with 30 days notice. Search is scoped per role.
Can pricing be customized?
Yes. Larger, longer-term, transition, or multi-workstream engagements may be structured differently where the standard model doesn't fit the work. If that's your situation, email Kate to scope it.
On a larger engagement, is it only Kate doing the work?
For larger engagements, Relio may bring in trusted specialists for systems support, sourcing, research, documentation, implementation, or other areas of expertise. The delivery team and responsibilities are agreed before work begins, with Relio maintaining responsibility for the engagement and quality of the work.
