NorthstarPMO Inc.

NorthstarPMO is a Boston firm providing embedded fractional HR services for companies of roughly 30 to 150 employees that are ready to scale with more structure. It pairs strategic HR guidance with hands-on execution, integrating into a client’s team to manage hiring, compliance, culture and performance so owners can focus on growth. Services also include leadership training, payroll, policies and handbooks, group benefits and an anonymous reporting system.

Unlike traditional outsourced HR, the firm takes ownership of the work and stays proactive, tailoring support to each company’s goals, structure and growth stage. Clients get senior HR professionals with experience across industries, supported by HR technology and AI tools that cut manual work and improve visibility. Reported results include structured onboarding that saved 30 hours per new hire’s first month and a key hire made in three weeks instead of six to eight.
