Michael Biarnes's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend working with Epion! During our initial call, Curt and his team provided fantastic recommendations for my website given my specific needs and desires despite not having any commitment to work together. Epion treats you like a true partner throughout the process as they want to see you grow and succeed. I'm extremely pleased with how my website turned out and it would not have been possible without the Epion team!
Darrien Jamar's Review Sourced from Google
Wow. I had such an amazing exploratory and creative experience. I felt the intention in each step that Epion provided, which ultimately led to me having a beautiful website with content, business cards, and a logo that is reflective of my company brand at this stage of development. Before I officially began working with Epion, I was provided genuine advice which encouraged me to explore and develop more before acquiring their services. This stood out to me because we live in a world that is quicker to take your money than to say "No," you're not ready yet. I look forward to working with Epion on more projects in the future (in addition to being my top referral source for friends and other business owners/entrepreneurs).
Antoine Davis's Review Sourced from Google
I came to Epion because it was recommended by a friend. This is without a doubt the best option for my needs and timeline. I had a quick conversation with their staff and they quickly understood my situation and what I needed for my website. They even included some suggestions that helped bring my website together and they message that I wanted my customer to receive after visiting my website. I will continue to use Epion in the near future!

Princess's Review Sourced from Google
I wanted to take a moment to share my experience going through the hiring process here, because it genuinely blew me away. We’ve all been through frustrating interview cycles, but this was the exact opposite. From day one, the entire process was incredibly smooth and stress-free.What really made an impression on me was how professional, kind, and down-to-earth the team was. During my interviews, it didn't feel like a rigid interrogation; instead, it felt like a great, two-way conversation. They genuinely cared about my career goals and took the time to answer all of my questions.Communication was amazing, too. I was never left hanging or wondering what the next steps were, which I appreciated so much. Walking away from the process, I just felt valued as a person, not just a resume. I am so excited to be joining such a thoughtful and professional team!
Kassayndra Meyer's Review Sourced from Google

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Best HR Outsourcing Services in the US
How do I choose the right company for my business?
To choose the right outsourcing company for your business, consider these steps:
- Define your needs
Map out the exact HR functions you want to delegate, your specific requirements and business policies, budget, and engagement timeframe. - Shortlist experts
Look for HR outsourcing providers with sector-specific knowledge, ask for client references in your industry, and review case studies showing measurable results. - Evaluate provider credentials
Assess client and employee reviews, list of awards and recognitions, and necessary certifications to confirm the company’s reliability and credibility. - Send a request for proposal (RFP)
Provide your top candidates with a detailed project brief together with your budget and time constraints, so they can work within your requirements. - Schedule an interview
Meet the team working with you, and ask about compliance, security, and scalability. Prioritize those who can expand with you without requiring a complete platform change. - Choose your provider
Take time to compare at least three providers, examining their technology platforms, service level agreements, and pricing models before committing.
Need help finding an HR outsource provider for your business? Visit our Marketplace and tell us what you need. We'll curate a list of the top companies for free!
What should I prepare before contacting an HR outsourcing provider?
Start with your current employee headcount and projected growth over the next 12-24 months.
Document all locations where you have employees, because each state or country adds compliance complexity that affects pricing.
Gather your existing payroll structure, including pay frequencies, overtime policies, and any special compensation arrangements like commissions or bonuses.
List your current benefits offerings and note whether you want the provider to source new plans or administer existing ones.
Compile your compliance requirements. Are you subject to industry-specific regulations? Do you have government contracts requiring certain HR practices? Have you faced any compliance issues or audits recently? Understanding your risk profile helps providers recommend appropriate service levels.
Finally, establish your budget expectations and decision timeline. Providers appreciate knowing whether you're exploring options or ready to move quickly.
According to a 2025 Paychex study, 64% of companies spend 570 hours annually on HR administration, so quantify your own time investment to understand your potential ROI from outsourcing.
When does HR outsourcing make more sense than building an in-house HR team?
While both HR outsourcing and building an in-house team bring their own advantages, the decision will depend on your specific business needs.
According to Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey, these are the top reasons why businesses are outsourcing functions, including HR:
- Improved access to talent: 42%
- Spend optimization: 34%
- Improved quality/performance: 33%
- Adoption of global delivery model: 33%
- Better alignment to business strategy and operating model shifts: 27%
- Need for flexible and scalable talent model: 23%
In other words, HR outsourcing makes more sense when:
- HR operations are detracting you from core business functions
- Building a full-time, in-house HR team is too expensive
- You’re experiencing high employee dissatisfaction and churn rates
- You need specialized expertise
- You need help navigating labor laws and sector-specific regulations, especially for multi-state and international operations
How involved does management need to be when using these types of services?
Outsourcing HR doesn't mean eliminating internal people management, but it means redirecting your focus from administration to strategy.
Your leadership team remains responsible for organizational culture, performance expectations, hiring decisions, and employee development priorities.
The HR outsourcing provider handles execution, compliance, and day-to-day administration.
Expect regular check-ins with your provider. Most start with weekly or biweekly touchpoints during the first few months, transitioning to monthly reviews once processes stabilize.
You'll approve payroll runs, review compliance reports, and make final decisions on employee relations matters.
The provider brings expertise and recommendations; you make the calls, ensuring that everything aligns with your company's values and goals.
How do I measure whether HR outsourcing is delivering value?
To measure if the HR outsourcing company is delivering value to your business, start by defining your expectations and service level agreement (SLAs).
This includes your measurable business objectives, performance metrics, and current benchmarks.
Here are some of the most common HR outsourcing benchmarks to consider:
- Time to complete: Average time it takes for the provider to complete a task, such as filling in a position or processing payroll
- Employee satisfaction: Assesses how employees feel about HR services and can be tracked via turnover rates, exit interview feedback, and employee surveys
- Payroll accuracy rate: Monitors the percentage of error-free payroll transactions filed by the provider and determines their reliability
- Administrative time savings: Calculates the time previously spent on HR functions that are now being outsourced
- Cost savings: Measures the amount of money saved by outsourcing HR functions
Small companies with 25 employees and a monthly HRO cost of $120-$200 can expect an average return on investment (ROI) of 150%.
Mid-sized businesses with around 100 employees and a monthly HRO of $430-$500, on the other hand, can experience an ROI of 175%.
For large enterprises with over 500 employees and an HRO of $2,000-$3,000 per month, the average ROI is 191%.

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 |
|
