How much does HR outsourcing cost?

HR outsourcing costs start at $50-$200 per employee per month and can go beyond $1,500 per employee per month. The final rate will depend on the type of HR sourcing service, engagement model, company size and structure, industry, and compliance requirements. 

Here’s a pricing breakdown per service type:

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:
