We have nothing but the best impression of doCode. They have been, and continue to be, the best technological partner for our company, and working with their top-tier developers has been an absolute pleasure. doCode has performed admirably in UI/UX design and overall web development. The code is well-written, modulated, and follows standard conventions, allowing easy integration into our systems. I was pleased by how the team used the AngularJS framework to create well-defined levels. As our project progressed, it became more agile, and doCode was excellent at communicating, being responsive but not excessively persistent.

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!

I highly recommend 1840 & Company to professionals seeking remote and global career opportunities.

Perfect transition job from hospitality to office roles. Bonus points for progressing employees internally to higher roles accordingly.
An Ash's Review Sourced from Google
How did managers help with a transfer of service for a customer who left review.Because at managements rule is to never disclose that they are calling from at management,they are only to represent and use their clients name. What’s even funnier is this customer was considered special from the rest. They were not only informed it was at management dealing with their service but they even knew the real names of the managers.Another common practice is staff and managers mostly use a dummy name not their real. But in this case even that info was provided to the customer. Must be a special customer that the normal practices were broken for them and they from millions of customers even took the time to write a review lol . Everyone laugh with me.

Both Adnan & Connor at AT Management were superb in their dealings with me over the transfer of a service when I was moving house. Nothing was too much trouble & their knowledge was very good. I’d have no hesitation in recommending these two individuals or AT Management

HR Outsourcing Company FAQs
What is an HR outsourcing agency?
An HR outsourcing agency is a third-party company that handles some or all of a business’ human resources functions. These agencies manage everything from payroll and benefits to compliance and employee relations.
Businesses typically hire an HR outsourcing agency so they can focus on higher-value initiatives such as talent development and organizational culture, maximize efficiency, and reduce overall expenses associated with maintaining an in-house HR department.
How can an HR outsourcing agency streamline people operations?
An HR outsourcing agency streamlines people operations by centralizing routine, complex functions pertaining to compliance management, payroll, and policy administration, into standardized workflows. These adjustments are intended to reduce error-prone manual interventions and ensure consistency across processes.
Through such specialized expertise and automation, organizations gain operational efficiency and better risk management, which supports workforce planning.
What kinds of organizations benefit most from HR outsourcing?
HR outsourcing tends to deliver the greatest value in organizations where operational complexity or growth outpaces internal capacity. Companies with distributed teams or heavy regulatory requirements also benefit from the precision and standardization an external HR partner provides, while also reducing compliance risk and administrative challenges.
Which HR outsourcing firms are top-rated on DesignRush in 2025?
The top-rated HR outsourcing firms on DesignRush in 2025 are:
What core and specialized HR services do outsourcing agencies provide?
HR outsourcing providers provide the following core and specialized services:
- Payroll processing
- Benefits administration
- Compliance management
- HR analytics and reporting
- Employee onboarding and offboarding
- Recruitment and talent acquisition
- Workers' compensation and risk management
- Employer of Record (EOR) services
- Learning and development programs
- Employee relations and dispute resolution
How do I find the best HR outsourcing firm on DesignRush that fits my budget?
The cost of HR outsourcing services in 2025 is highly variable. While a general range of $45 to $1,500 per month is a common starting point for many businesses, this figure can vary depending on the scope of services provided, the company's size, the complexity of HR needs, and the level of expertise required.
To get a more accurate estimate, here is a price breakdown for various HR services:
- Recruitment: Up to $8,000 for 100 candidates
- Compliance management: $12,000 per year
- Payroll: Up to $250 per employee
- Compensation and benefits: Up to $165 per year
- HR management software: Between $70 and $100 per month
How quickly can companies expect HR efficiency gains?
The timeline for realizing HR efficiency gains can vary significantly depending on the specific functions being outsourced and the complexity of the organization. Immediate improvements are often seen in transactional areas like payroll processing and benefits administration, where a specialized provider can instantly introduce standardized, automated processes.
For other benefits pertaining to talent acquisition or employee engagement, the positive impacts may be more gradual, unfolding over several months to a year as new systems and strategies are fully integrated and adopted.
What should you look for when choosing an HR outsourcing provider?
Here are a few important factors to consider when choosing an HR outsourcing provider:
- High client retention rate, as this indicates strong satisfaction
- Dedicated account management rather than call center support
- Industry-specific experience in your sector
- Staff certifications from SHRM or HRCI
- Team members with ESAC accreditation or IRS Certified PEO status
- 24/7 availability for urgent inquiries
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
- Clear error resolution procedures and liability coverage
What red flags should deter you from partnering with an HR outsourcing agency?
When selecting an HR outsourcing partner, certain warning signs can indicate misalignment or risk. Watch out for:
- Opaque pricing, vague contracts, or missing insurance coverage
- Reluctance to share references or explain service models
- Pressure tactics, hidden subcontracting, or “too good to be true” offers
- No clear service-level agreements or dispute resolution terms
What questions should you ask before engaging an HR outsourcing firm?
Here are some questions you should ask before engaging the services of an HR outsourcing firm:
- What specific HR services do you provide, and can I select them individually?
- How do you handle compliance in our industry and locations?
- What happens if you make errors in payroll, benefits, or compliance?
- What is your client retention rate, and can you provide 3-5 similar business references?
- What insurance coverage do you carry to protect our business?
- What is your complete pricing structure, including all fees?
- What are your contract terms and cancellation policies?
- How do you handle billing disputes or service credits?
How does HR outsourcing differ from traditional in-house HR or HR software solutions?
HR outsourcing differs from traditional in-house HR or HR software solutions by delegating a company's HR functions to an external provider, which offers specialized expertise and takes on legal liabilities.
While in-house HR relies on a company's own employees to manage all HR tasks, offering a more hands-on and culturally integrated approach, it often comes with higher fixed costs. HR software, conversely, is merely a tool that automates processes for an internal HR team that lacks the strategic guidance and human expertise that a full outsourcing partnership provides.
What platforms, compliance tools, and HRIS systems do leading HR outsourcing agencies use today?
Leading HR outsourcing agencies leverage a range of sophisticated platforms and systems to provide comprehensive services. For core HR functions, they often use robust Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) like ADP, Workday, and Oracle HCM Cloud, which integrate payroll, benefits, and employee data management.
For global compliance, particularly with a distributed workforce, they utilize specialized platforms such as Deel, Rippling, and Oyster HR, which are designed to handle complex international regulations and payroll. These agencies also employ compliance-specific tools like ComplianceHR and NAVEX to track and align with federal, state, and local labor laws.
How legitimate is the FAQs?
We prioritize providing accurate and valuable information to businesses and agencies. To do so, we collaborated with Paul Scott, chief website strategist at the award-winning company GoingClear. He shared insights on how to find a good outsourcing partner that can make you a thriving business in a congested industry.
