Common Challenges

We Understand HR Engineering

The four HR situations that push a business owner to get proper help.

HR Is Nobody's Full Job

Someone on your team is answering HR questions between their actual responsibilities. That means hiring decisions are slow, compliance questions get Googled, and performance issues sit unaddressed until they become real problems. That is not a people problem. It is a structure problem.

One Compliance Mistake Is Expensive

Employment law changes constantly and varies by state. Misclassifying a contractor, missing a required leave notice, or skipping the right termination steps can cost tens of thousands in fines or settlements. Most small businesses find out they got it wrong after the fact.

Hiring Is Taking Too Long

You posted the job three weeks ago, sifted through 80 applications, and still have not found the right person. Meanwhile the work is piling up. A structured process with someone dedicated to running it cuts that timeline significantly.

Good People Are Leaving

You lost two solid employees in the past year and are still not sure why. No exit interviews, no stay interviews, no manager feedback process. High turnover in a small company is expensive and demoralizing. Usually the reasons are fixable if someone is actually paying attention.

What We Build

HR Engineering Capabilities

What our HR team handles on your behalf, from hiring through compliance, and team options that scale with your headcount.

Recruitment & Hiring

Our team writes the job description, sources candidates, screens applications, coordinates interviews, and presents you with a shortlist. You make the final call. We run everything before and after it so the process moves and your time is protected.

New Employee Onboarding

We manage the full onboarding process for every new hire: offer letters, paperwork, I-9 verification, benefits enrollment, day-one orientation, and 30/60/90 day check-ins. New hires start with a real process, not a folder of PDFs and a shared calendar link.

Compliance & Employment Law

We keep your business compliant with federal and state employment laws: FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEO-1 reporting, required workplace postings, and leave administration. We also write and maintain your employee handbook so policies stay enforceable as laws change. When a threshold is crossed or a regulation updates, we tell you before it becomes a problem.

Performance Management

We set up and run your performance review cycle, give managers a clear process for feedback conversations, and document performance issues properly. If a termination becomes necessary, we make sure the documentation and the process hold up.

Employee Relations & HR Support

Difficult conversations, complaints, accommodation requests, resignation management: our team handles the things that come up between scheduled reviews. You have someone to call when something unexpected happens, not just a policy document to consult.

Single Specialist or Full HR Team

Some businesses need one dedicated HR person who owns everything. Others need a full team: a recruiter handling open roles, an HR generalist managing day-to-day, and a senior HR lead overseeing compliance and strategy. We scope the engagement to your headcount, your hiring pace, and where your biggest gaps are today. As you grow, the team grows with you.

Straight answers on what a managed HR service covers and whether it is the right fit for your business size.

Featured Answer

What does an outsourced HR team actually do for a small business?

An outsourced HR team handles the things most small businesses either skip or do wrong because nobody owns them. That means keeping you compliant with employment law, running new hire onboarding properly, managing your performance review process, and being the person employees can go to with HR questions. When something difficult comes up, like a complaint or a termination, your HR lead walks you through the right process and makes sure the documentation is there. You do not need to be an HR expert. That is what you are paying them for.

How We Work

Our HR Engagement Process

How a managed HR engagement runs from the initial audit through steady-state coverage.

01

HR Audit

We start with a review of your current setup: employment classifications, documentation, compliance gaps, and how HR decisions are currently getting made.

02

60-Day Action Plan

You get a prioritized list of what needs to be fixed immediately, what to address in the first 60 days, and what we will maintain on an ongoing basis.

03

Core Setup

We put the essential pieces in place: employee handbook, onboarding process, compliance calendar, and your HR system of record. Most clients have this done by end of week three.

04

Day-to-Day HR Coverage

Your HR lead handles new hire onboarding, employee questions, manager support, and the compliance work that needs to happen every week.

05

Hiring Support

When you have open roles, we run the process: job posting, sourcing, application screening, interview coordination, and offer management.

06

Ongoing Review

As your team grows and employment laws change, we keep your HR practices current. You get a monthly summary and a direct line for anything that comes up between reviews.

Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions business owners most often ask before outsourcing HR.

What exactly is included in a managed HR service?
At a minimum: a dedicated HR contact for your business, compliance oversight, new hire onboarding management, an employee handbook, and support for day-to-day HR questions. More complete plans add full-cycle recruiting, performance management, and benefits coordination. You do not manage tasks or brief individual work. Your HR lead owns the function and stays on top of it.
How does it work when we first get started?
We begin with an HR audit during the first week, reviewing your current practices, employment classifications, documentation, and any compliance gaps. From there we build a 60-day action plan and get the basics in place before adding more complex work. Most clients are in steady-state operations by the end of month two.
How much does outsourced HR cost?
A single dedicated HR specialist starts around $1,200 to $2,000 per month for businesses under 25 employees. A full team with a recruiter, generalist, and senior HR lead costs more but is still significantly less than hiring even one full-time HR manager when you factor in salary, benefits, and ramp time. We size the engagement and give you a clear number during a free discovery call.
We already have an office manager who handles HR tasks. Do we still need this?
Probably yes. Most office managers handling HR are doing their best with no formal HR background, no employment law training, and no real time to do it properly. We can take the HR function off their plate entirely or work alongside them so they keep what they are already managing well and hand off the rest to us.
Can I start with one HR person and grow the team as we hire more staff?
Yes. Most engagements start with a single dedicated HR specialist who owns the full function. As your team grows past 40 or 50 people, or your hiring volume picks up, we add the right people: a recruiter, an HR generalist, or a senior HR lead for complex compliance and strategy work. You do not change vendors or restart the process. The team expands alongside your business.
What happens when there is a difficult situation, like a complaint or a potential termination?
That is exactly what we are here for. Your HR lead handles the documentation, walks you through the right process, and makes sure you are protected before any action is taken. We have dealt with these situations before. The goal is always to resolve things correctly the first time, not to clean up afterward.
Do you handle recruiting too, or just HR administration?
Both. Recruiting is part of most of our plans, though the scope varies. Some clients need full-cycle recruiting on every open role. Others just need help with the process and initial screening. We size it based on how much you are hiring and how much of the process you want to stay involved in.
