Fractional Leadership
Ongoing AI governance, without a full-time compliance hire.
A $10–50M staffing firm doesn’t need a full-time compliance officer for its AI tools. But it does need someone keeping those tools documented and the firm ready for the next client audit. We’re that someone.
What the retainer looks like
You get a senior Meridian advisor as your ongoing AI governance lead. We keep your tool inventory and bias-testing evidence current, handle the client questionnaires and RFP security reviews as they come in, and stay on top of new rules like Colorado’s AI Act before they affect your accounts.
This isn’t a hotline where you submit questions and wait. It’s an ongoing partner who keeps your hiring tech defensible month to month—so governance stays handled while you focus on placements. This is the part that protects the book over time.
It also means someone is tracking the rules for you. Colorado’s AI employment law takes effect in 2027, more states are drafting their own, and client questionnaires evolve—we keep you ahead of all of it.
Right for you if:
— You use AI to screen or match candidates but have no one owning the governance
— Client questionnaires are arriving faster than you can answer them well
— You want to stay audit-ready without adding a full-time compliance hire
— New state rules keep landing and you need someone tracking what affects you
