Five organizations guided through mergers and acquisitions, including a multi-billion-dollar transaction.
The office manager has been handling HR on the side, and it worked for a while. Now you are hiring faster, the compliance questions are harder, and there is no one seasoned at the table when a real people decision lands on your desk. Growing past that stage is exactly when the cost of a misstep climbs.
Bringing in an HR resource who does not truly know the laws is the risk that keeps leaders up at night. A handbook that conflicts with state law, a policy that quietly creates exposure, an investigation handled the wrong way. It all looks fine until an EEOC claim or a lawsuit arrives, and by then the damage is the kind you cannot see until it gets expensive.
Many growing companies are not ready for a six-figure HR salary plus benefits and overhead, yet they have clearly outgrown doing it themselves. That gap, too big for part-time guesswork and too small for a full-time executive, is exactly where fractional HR fits.
Senior HR leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis. You get a seasoned partner a few days a week who integrates with your leadership team, drives results, reduces risk, and builds a high-performing culture, all without the full-time salary and overhead. As your needs change, the engagement scales up or down with you.
Explore Fractional HRHigh-impact coverage when you need it most. Whether you are covering a leave, filling a sudden vacancy, or starting up an HR function from scratch, we step in to provide stability and leadership, bring best-practice processes in quickly, and then set you up to hire your permanent HR leader with confidence.
Explore Interim HRFull recruitment and placement without the internal overhead. Backed by more than twenty years in HR with a sustained focus on workforce and talent solutions, we source, vet, and place the right people, from individual contributors to management and C-suite roles, with bilingual reach for roles that need Spanish-speaking talent.
Explore Talent AcquisitionNot every company needs ongoing support. Sometimes you have one thing that has to be done right, like an employee handbook that finally matches current law, a compliance audit before you grow, or a workplace investigation that has to stay confidential. We scope each project in a consultation and price it to the work.
Already have HR mostly covered but hit a question you want a seasoned answer on? On-demand HR support is there as needs arise, so you are never guessing on the calls that carry real risk.
A range of focused engagements fit neatly into a single project, including the following.

Strategic HR Leadership for Growing Organizations
Fractional HR sits exactly between those extremes. You get executive-level, certified HR leadership at the table, customized to your stage and budget, with the flexibility to scale as you grow. The strategy of a senior director, the cost structure of a part-time engagement, and a partner who builds something that lasts.
Start with a short, no-pressure call to walk through your company, where HR stands today, and what you are trying to solve. It is enough for us to point you to the right service and enough for you to get a feel for how we work.
From there, we go deeper in a consultation, in person or virtual, that maps your situation to a clear plan. You leave knowing exactly what handling HR correctly looks like for your company and what it would take to get there.
Once the plan is set, we scope the engagement to your stage, size, and goals. Fractional, interim, talent acquisition, or a single project, built around your business rather than forced into a template.
MAG HR Solutions is led by Michele Gissibl, a bilingual, certified HR business partner (CPC, PHR, SHRM-CP, PMQ) with more than twenty years guiding companies through mergers, acquisitions, high-growth stretches, and startups. Alongside her, co-founder Mark Gissibl leads business development and takes your first call. Together they bring senior HR leadership to growing Southwest Florida companies, with one aim: align your business strategy with your people strategy.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Michele for the past three years. In 2009 I introduced her to one of my clients that needed an HR manager at a time when they were going through a major expansion. They needed someone who could come in to the organization and raise their human resources department to a world class level, just like the rest of their business. Michele is a true professional in every sense of the word. I would highly recommend Michele for any human resources related position.
Michele is a detail-oriented strategist capable of the most humanistic feats with regards to defining and controlling vulnerabilities. In the years I was fortunate enough to work alongside Ms. Gissibl it was a pleasure watching her integrate regimen into standard practice so that, now interwoven, it is both palatable and effective. I have been blessed also to work with many HR professionals spanning a vast array of Fortune 500 food companies. During that 24+ years I can only think of one other possessing those dynamic skills and being able to capitalize on them.
Michele and I worked very closely together. In my career, I have always depended on and valued the contribution and partnership with a Human Resource Business Partner. Michele was truly one of the best. With a compassion for people and a clear understanding of the needs of the business, Michele was able to collaborate with the leadership team and offer valuable insights and direction. Her gifts as an HR leader could be transferable to any industry, and any business would benefit greatly from her contribution.
I was lucky to have Michele as my manager at Universal Language Service, Inc. and I can honestly say she is one of the best leaders I have ever worked with. She has this rare mix of professionalism and kindness that makes people feel both supported and inspired. What I appreciated most about Michele was how approachable she always was, whether it was for advice, encouragement, or just a quick chat. She truly cares about people, and it shows in the way she leads and the positive environment she creates. I learned so much from her, both professionally and personally, and I will always be grateful for her mentorship. Any team would be lucky to have her as their HR leader.
