Who We Are

Awesome HR Team is a scalable outsourced HR Department. We handle all HR functions, run payrolls and manage benefits. Our managed solutions put you in control without taking up your time. Our team can take on a single role or the entire personnel side of your business. Don’t spend time Googling or guessing how to handle sticky situations. Let us take care of it for you. We align ourselves with your goals and culture so we can handle the daily tasks related to HR, giving you back your time and focus. 

Outsourcing does not have to feel foreign. In fact, most of our clients’ employees have no idea that our team is outsourced. Employees get to know us and we dedicate a phone line and email address to each client group. No one calls a phone bank and we can answer calls in a way that is specific to your organization. We are an extension of you and part of your team.

We have taken on tasks of all sizes – from helping out with admin overflow to managing all HR, payroll and benefits for groups of 1000 or more. We can jump in and start work quickly – with no down time or extra fees. You start saving money and time immediately.
