      Spoke with a recruiter named sabana, set up a interview, recruiter told me they are willing to pay up to $22 so I asked for that , the company said they won’t pay that much, sabana higher up called me and said will I accept $20 with a sign on bonus, I agreed. And that was 3 weeks ago, I have not received an update after that. Just totally ghosted me even after I reached out to a recruiter named Sabana for an update .I passed up 2 jobs offers for this company only to be ignored afterwards. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

      Our company left Tandem HR when they hiked the prices in 2024. Apparently, they do not send employers, copies of W2's for companies that have left service. I'm supposed to reach out to each employee to get a copy. Nice job, for doing the one job you had.

The team is responsive, organized, and easy to work with. They provide support with day-to-day HR operations and are a good HR partner to consider—especially if you're looking to avoid the overhead of building your own in-house team.

      I had a great experience working here as an AM. But keeping the 200% withhold is i think not fair. This is something that I already worked for and something that i think I deserve. I know this may sound very desperate but I really need the funds especially now that my termination was sudden and abrupt. Thank you!

      I reached out to 20four7VA almost a year and a half ago now because my friend and colleague, MigmanMedia, had used them to assist in web site creation for his customers and had good things to say. I wanted someone to help me with curating my published content from my web site as well as my social networks to create stories and reels on my Instagram and Facebook business pages. The young lady I've been working with, Dehaira Silva, has been wonderful to work with. She follows instructions, proof-reads her work, and asks questions when she needs more information or clarification. We also have a monthly Google-meet to catch up with each other, at which time she shows me the spread sheet she created comparing my Instagram and Facebook stats.From the initial reach-out, to the screening of appropriate candidates for my needs, to the final selection, and throughout the time I've been their client, the interface with 20four7VA management has also been very efficient. Everyone is friendly, responds in a timely manner, and it's been an excellent experience all around.Lori BoxerWeight★No★More℠ Diet Center, Inc.

ITAdOn has helped us build a secure IT infrastructure that gives us peace of mind (especially where there are a lot of cybersecurity and ransomware risks nowadays). Every staff member is very competent, responsive, and easy to work with. They treat us like their own and do whatever it takes to properly get the job done. The team members at ITAdOn are truly the professionals you want on your team helping you out when your technology snags an issue.

What is the difference between HR outsourcing and a PEO?

While both HR outsourcing companies and PEOs (professional employer organizations) help organizations hire and manage their employees, they have different functions.  

Mainly, an HRO serves as an external vendor, while a PEO operates through a co-employment model. Below are more details:
