HR for growing businesses, in English and Spanish
Most small businesses grow past the point where the owner can handle hiring, paperwork, policies and people problems alone, but are not ready for a full-time HR professional. Together with our partner Marbeel Cabral, a senior bilingual HR consultant, we give you experienced HR when you need it, and the systems that keep it running.
- A senior HR consultant, part time
- Hiring, onboarding and policies in both languages
- HR systems connected to the rest of your business
Short answer
Fractional HR gives a small or mid-size business an experienced HR leader for the hours it needs, instead of a full-time hire. Medai Digital offers HR services with our partner Marbeel Cabral of Go HR Pro, a Houston HR consultant with more than 20 years of experience who works in English and Spanish: hiring and onboarding, job descriptions, handbooks and policies, employee relations, performance and HR systems, connected to the technology we build for your business.

What makes it different
Why does HR get hard for a growing business?
The owner is the HR department
Hiring, paperwork, schedules and difficult conversations land on the owner, on top of running the business.
Rules change as you grow
Federal and Texas employment rules, forms and records apply differently as headcount grows, and mistakes are expensive.
Two languages on one team
In Houston many teams work in Spanish and English. Policies, training and hard conversations have to be clear in both.
Hiring takes too long
Without clear job descriptions and a steady process, good candidates go elsewhere and the wrong hires cost months.
No written policies
Without a handbook and consistent policies, every question becomes a new decision and every exception becomes a precedent.
People data in spreadsheets
Time off, reviews, documents and onboarding live in scattered files, so nothing is easy to find when it matters.
What we do
What HR services do we offer?
Seven areas, sized to your business. Pick one to see what it includes.
Fractional HR
A senior HR leader for the hours you need
A fractional HR consultant works with you a set number of hours a month, like a part-time HR professional, without the cost and commitment of a full-time senior hire.
- An HR review: what you have, what is missing and what to fix first
- Regular check-ins with the owner or managers
- Advice on employee questions and difficult situations as they come up
- A clear HR plan for the next stage of growth
Hiring and onboarding
Hire the right people, and help them start well
A clear process brings better candidates and fewer bad hires, and a good first week keeps the people you worked hard to find.
- Job descriptions and job posts in English and Spanish
- Interview guides and a consistent selection process
- Offer letters and new-hire paperwork, such as the federal I-9 form
- An onboarding plan for the first days and weeks
- Job posts and careers pages that we can also promote online
Handbooks and policies
Write it down once, apply it the same way
An employee handbook and clear policies answer everyday questions before they become problems, and help you treat everyone consistently.
- An employee handbook written for your business, in English and Spanish
- Policies for time off, attendance, conduct and safety
- Acknowledgment forms and a simple way to keep them on file
- Updates as your business and the rules change
Within the rules
Policies are reviewed by your employment attorney where the law requires judgment. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
Employee relations
Handle hard conversations the right way
Complaints, conflicts, performance problems and terminations are where small businesses take the most risk. Experienced guidance and good records protect everyone.
- Guidance on complaints, conflicts and investigations
- Documented coaching, warnings and performance plans
- Fair, documented separations
- Conversations held in the employee's language when that helps understanding
Performance and development
Clear goals, fair reviews and people who grow
People do their best work when they know what is expected and how they are doing.
- Simple goals and performance reviews that managers will actually use
- Training plans for new and growing managers
- Organizational design: roles, reporting lines and job levels
- Workforce planning for the next hires
Compliance basics
Records and forms in order
Many employment rules depend on how many people you employ and where they work. An HR review shows what applies to you and what is missing.
- Personnel files, required forms and record keeping
- Required workplace posters and notices
- Classification questions, such as employee or contractor, flagged for your advisor
- Multi-state questions for teams outside Texas
Within the rules
We help you organize and follow the process. Legal questions go to your employment attorney or CPA.
HR systems and automation
HR that runs on systems, not spreadsheets
This is where Medai Digital's technology comes in: we connect HR to the rest of your business so information is entered once and found easily.
- Online job applications that land in one place
- Onboarding checklists and e-signatures
- Employee documents, time off and reviews organized in one system
- Automated reminders for reviews, renewals and training
- Dashboards for headcount, hiring and turnover
Who it is for
Which businesses need fractional HR?
Businesses that have outgrown doing HR on the side, but do not need a full-time HR professional yet.
Growing teams of 10 to 150
First HR policies, first managers, hiring several people a year
The owner can no longer handle every people question, and mistakes start to cost real money.
Bilingual workforces
Construction, home services, manufacturing, restaurants, cleaning and care
Policies, training and hard conversations must be clear in English and Spanish.
Professional offices
Law firms, medical and dental practices, accounting and real estate offices
Small teams with sensitive work, where one wrong hire or one conflict affects everyone.
Multi-location and multi-state
Teams across Houston, Texas or several states
Different rules and different managers, but one company that should treat people the same way.

When we say not yet
When is fractional HR not the right fit?
If you need a full-time HR team
Large companies with daily HR volume need in-house staff. We can help you hire them.
If you need a lawyer today
For a lawsuit, an agency charge or a legal opinion, call an employment attorney first.
If you only need payroll
Payroll alone is better handled by a payroll provider or your CPA. We help when you need HR around it.
