HumCap is a Fractional HR consulting and recruiting firm headquartered in Plano, Texas. HumCap (short for “Human Capital”) helps growing companies hire the right people and build the HR foundation to support them as they scale. Founded in 2001 by Army veteran Tad McIntosh, the company has served more than 1,000 clients and brings over 307 combined years of experience to businesses in North Texas and across the country.

HumCap supports organizations on two fronts. Its HR team handles everything from fractional HR and compliance to payroll, training, and strategic consulting, while its recruiting team helps companies hire software, engineering, manufacturing, HR, finance, and executive talent.

HumCap’s purpose is to deliver excellence to clients and communities. As the Experts in People, HumCap believes a company’s people are its most valuable asset, so every HR and recruiting engagement is built to help clients hire well, take care of their teams, and grow into exceptional organizations.

That purpose is guided by our four core values: Be Better Every Day, Deliver Results, Persevere with Grit, and Win as a Team. Giving back is central to the vision as well, taking care of our community has always been central to our mission. HumCap has donated more than $300,000 to community causes and scholarships and matches 100% of employee donations to the nonprofits of their choice.

HumCap has been in business since 2001, marking 25 years of providing HR and recruiting services.

HumCap works with businesses from emerging companies to growing enterprises, with deep experience in manufacturing, industrial services and AEC, healthcare services, engineering and technology, professional services, hospitality, and more. Its recruiting practice specializes in engineering and manufacturing, software, IT and cyber, HR and finance, and executive search. HumCap’s core market is North Texas, but it serves clients nationwide, offers contract staffing in all 50 states, and provides HR consulting and fractional HR services for international companies expanding or relocating to Texas.
