A huge thank you to the Blue Carrot team and personally to CEO Tim Alexandrovets for the professionalism that begins from the moment you walk into the company's office. Their attitude and attention to detail on a project [are such important parts and so rare to find]. It gives rise to a feeling inside that your request as a client will be fulfilled, not so much with understanding but with awareness. And that is already unique! I sincerely recommend Blue Carrot!

I’ve been with Peterson Technology Partners for 2.5 years, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. As a global, midsized IT and engineering consulting firm, PTP truly values fairness, collaboration, and open communication. Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to share and implement best practices.
I’ve been given a great deal of autonomy to hire top talent in the market, along with access to the many value-added resources PTP provides to help new hires succeed. It’s a work-hard, play-hard culture where people genuinely enjoy what they do while inspiring and supporting one another every day.

The folks at Windows Management Experts realized it was a quick fix (for them) and instead of stopping and sending me to sales, they were able to resolve my issue without the delay of working out payments which speaks to the employees and the nature of the company - help first and build the relationships first. They have certainly earned my business for all future issues moving forward. Great people to work with!

I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Outsourcing Services
What services do most of these companies typically offer?
They typically provide a comprehensive menu of services covering the full employee lifecycle.
According to industry research, these are the most frequently outsourced HR services:
Payroll outsourcing (70%): Processing employee salaries and ensuring that they comply with contract agreements, labor laws, and tax regulations.
Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) (28%): Sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding talent required by an organization.
Multi-process HRO (26%): Delegating multiple HR operations to a single third-party provider, such as payroll processing, onboarding and training, and compliance.
Benefits administration (18%): Managing an organization’s benefits programs for employees, such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans.
Learning services (14%): Overseeing an organization’s training and development programs, helping employees upskill or reskill.
Beyond these core offerings, these companies also cover performance management, time and attendance tracking, and compliance management.
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:
Payroll processing: Base fee of $150-$350 per month for a company with under 20 employees
Compliance management: $500-$5,000 per month, depending on scope and requirements
Employer record services (EOR): $200-$1,500 per month per employee
Training and development: $50-$300 per employee per module, and can be exclusive of trainer compensation, event space, and training materials.
Recruitment and talent acquisition: 15%-30% of the talent’s first-year salary or $5,000-$20,000+ per month, with more premium rates for more specialized or niche expertise
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:
HR Outsourcing
PEO
Function
Third-party vendor
Co-employer
Legal Liability
Client
Shares responsibility with the client
Services
Provides the service as needed
Controls the entire HR operations
Payroll, taxes, and filings
Provider handles the service, but the client remains the employer
Provider is the co-employer and administers the entire process
Benefits
Higher flexibility and customization
Client keeps full control
Fewer risks, as PEO shares the liability
All-in-one HR function, no need to search for different providers
What questions should I ask before hiring?
Ask these questions before hiring an HR outsourcing company:
Relevant Background
What HR functions do you cover, and what is your expertise?
Can you provide case studies or references for companies similar to our business size, industry, and complexity?
What is your compliance coverage per state and per country?
Services and Processes
Can you walk me through your end-to-end processes (e.g., onboarding, payroll cycles, offboarding)?
What HR tools and technologies do you use, and can you integrate them with my IT ecosystem?
What is your security and data governance approach, and what are your disaster recovery commitments?
Related to Your Project
What administrative effort is required from our team weekly/monthly?
Can you scale services as we grow (new states/countries, headcount, acquisitions), and what changes in pricing or support model?
What SLAs do you commit to, and who will be our day-to-day contact?
What types of businesses usually outsource their HR services?
Industry research found that 57% of companies outsource at least one HR service, proving that all types of businesses can benefit these from these types of services.
However, here are the sectors that have the highest share of HRO contracts:
Business, financial services, and insurance companies: 22%
