Why a Third-Party HR Company?
Embarking on a partnership with a third-party HR company is akin to adding a turbo boost to your business’s engine. It’s not just about offloading responsibilities; it’s about enhancing performance, compliance, and employee satisfaction. HR Options, with its profound experience over more than three decades, specializes in extending these benefits to businesses, especially when navigating the tricky waters of cross-border employment and managed contingent workforce solutions. Let’s explore why this approach is not just beneficial but essential for modern businesses.
Comprehensive Services Overview
Understanding the Full Spectrum of HR Options Offerings
HR Options is more than your run-of-the-mill third-party HR company. We offer a toolkit designed for the ultimate flexibility and efficiency in managing your workforce. Our services range from cross-border employment solutions, ensuring smooth expansions into Canada by handling all employment administration and liability risks, to managed contingent workforce services, providing access to a flexible staffing solution that meets your business’s dynamic needs.
Cross-Border Employment Expertise
Expanding a business into Canada comes with its own set of challenges and complexities. Understanding the nuances of employment laws, tax regulations, and cultural expectations can be daunting.

HR Options specializes in the management of contingent workforces, offering a seamless solution that includes independent contractors, rehired retirees, or project specialists. This allows businesses to access the talent they need, when they need it, without the long-term commitment or overhead associated with traditional employment.

What is an HR outsourcing company?
Imagine having a team of experts who take care of all your human resources needs, from payroll to compliance, without being physically present in your office. That’s essentially what an HR outsourcing company is. At HR Options, we liken ourselves to being part of your team, albeit from a distance. We manage everything that an in-house HR department would handle, but with more flexibility, efficiency, and often, at a lower cost. This not only saves money but also allows businesses to focus on their core activities, crucial for growth and success.
Can I outsource my HR department?
Absolutely, and many companies find this to be a strategic move for their growth. Outsourcing your HR department to a company like HR Options means you’re leveraging our 35+ years of experience for your benefit. It’s like having a seasoned HR professional on your team without the overhead costs associated with full-time employees. We tailor our services to fit your business’s unique needs, whether it’s managing a contingent workforce, ensuring compliance across borders, or streamlining HR processes.
How much does outsourced HR cost?
The cost of outsourcing HR functions varies based on several factors, including the size of your workforce, the complexity of your HR needs, and the scope of services required. However, one thing remains consistent: the potential for cost savings. By outsourcing to HR Options, you avoid the fixed expenses of salaries, benefits, and office space for an in-house team. Instead, you pay for the services you need when you need them, allowing for more predictable budgeting and often, significant cost reductions. We offer a consultation to understand your specific needs, and from there, provide a tailored proposal that aligns with your business goals and budget.
Should HR be third-party?
Choosing whether to keep HR in-house or to outsource is a strategic decision that varies from one company to another. However, a third-party HR solution like HR Options offers numerous advantages, including access to a broader range of expertise, compliance assurance, and increased flexibility. This doesn’t just mitigate risks; it turns the HR function into a strategic asset. We’ve seen first-hand how companies can transform their operations by focusing on their core activities while we expertly manage their HR functions. It’s not about losing control; it’s about gaining a strategic partner dedicated to your success.
What are the benefits of outsourcing HR?
The benefits are vast and can be transformative. When you outsource HR to HR Options, you gain access to a team of experts dedicated to your business’s success. We bring deep industry knowledge and insights, ensuring that your HR functions are not just managed but optimized. Cost savings are another significant benefit, as outsourcing eliminates the need for an in-house HR department, reducing overhead costs. Furthermore, outsourcing HR allows your business to be more agile, scaling services up or down based on current needs without the constraints of an in-house team.
How does HR Options ensure compliance with employment laws?
Compliance is a moving target, with laws and regulations constantly changing. At HR Options, we make it our business to stay ahead of these changes, ensuring our clients are always compliant. We have a dedicated team that monitors employment laws across jurisdictions, especially in the U.S. and Canada, where we specialize. By acting as the employer of record for our clients expanding into Canada, we assume the responsibility for compliance, relieving our clients of the burden of staying current with Canadian employment laws. This proactive approach to compliance management significantly reduces the risk of penalties and legal issues, giving our clients peace of mind.
Why choose HR Options over other third-party HR companies?
Choosing HR Options means choosing a partner with over three decades of experience and a proven track record of success. Our approach is personal; we take the time to understand your business and its unique needs, crafting customized solutions that drive growth and efficiency. Unlike other third-party HR companies, we offer a seamless blend of services tailored for businesses expanding into Canada and managing contingent workforces, backed by our commitment to compliance and cost savings.
