      Lizanne Lachat's Review Sourced from Google

      I applied to a job listed on Indeed.com through Scion Staffing. I'd never worked with a recruiter before, other than for temp positions. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with, so professional and down to earth. She helped guide me through the interview and decision-making process, and followed up each step of the way. She was supportive and non-aggressive. I highly recommend Scion Staffing and would definitely work with them again.

      My experience with Scion staffing was phenomenal. My recruiter took the time to get to know me as a person, learn my short term and long term goals prior to referring any possible positions for me. Once that position was referred, she was with me through every step of the interview process. She anticipated questions that may be asked and how best to prepare for them. Really, this was a 5/5 star experience all the way!

      Disappointed in Professionalism and ReliabilityDealt with a scam artist, lying every step of the way when filling a electrician request 1 out of the 10 that showed up had any real electrical background. The worst of the worstMy recent experience with tradesmen has been extremely disappointing. Despite maintaining a professional approach throughout, I encountered consistent issues with reliability and accountability.Moving forward, I will be transitioning to alternative staffing solutions to ensure higher standards of professionalism and dependability.This experience has reinforced the importance of working with service providers who uphold the expected industry standards. I encourage others to carefully evaluate their options when selecting tradesmen for their projects.

      I seriously don’t know what to think about this company. I have a Master’s degree, I’m bilingual and have 25 years of teaching experience and 3 years of customer service/sales. I’m also 56, but I’m probably better than I’ve ever been. I know how to interview after a lifetime of doing it, I have superior people skills after teaching so many years. As you age, you find yourself wanting to learn more, so I get excited about 3 months of training. I’ve applied for multiple jobs there over the past few days. I had a screening interview yesterday, which went well. Today, I got turned down for every single job I applied for! The screening interview, didn’t go beyond that. The other jobs rejected me outright without even screening me. I feel very much like age discrimination is a factor here. What else can I believe if I’m applying for customer service jobs and have truly exceptional soft skills from my background?. I’m the dream candidate for customer service, but oh, wait, she’s 56? Can she still walk? Can she still drive? Does she talk like an old lady? Is her brain slowing down because she’s getting up there? Do you seriously think 50-somethings are decrepit??One thing about older candidates: we have tremendous skill sets due to years of experience, and we’re loyal. We’ll stick around because we’re past all the “looking for the next cool job.”

      I applied for a job through Innsource and was told congratulations you made it to the next interview with a company representative. I gave them my availability and was told great we will set up the interview. The next communication I got was a text saying good luck on the interview today please log on 5 minutes early. I was confused as I was never given a date or time for this interview. So I reached out to the recruiter who simply just said "I confirmed you were available for that time". When I asked what I was supposed to be logging into I was told I received an email 2 days prior with the information. So now I have missed the interview. I was also never informed an email was sent to me with a Teams link for the interview. When I ask why I was not informed they simply said "I told you that interview would be by Teams." I guess I was just supposed to know I would be getting an email on that day and was supposed to watch for it. The lack of communication was baffling and not only cost me the chance to get the job but also the "no show" for the interview put me on a black ball list and I can NEVER apply for that company again. All I got was an apology for the miscommunication. They actually called lack of communication miscommunication. Like it was no big deal that they did this. I was punished and they just moved on to the next candidate. I definitely not recommend applying through them for ANY position.

      A bunch of incompetent people working at this company. First, they advertise a position in Scottsdale, AZ (they’re located in Dublin, OH). After an application is completed, within minutes they send an automated AI recruitment message asking why there is an interest in the role and if I’m within driving distance of Columbus, OH. Obviously, Scottsdale is nowhere near Columbus so they apologize for denying the opportunity. 24hrs later a live recruiter calls to say they’re hiring in Scottsdale and want to know my interest. I share about their AI recruiter message. They say “we need to change the message”. Phone screen goes well as it’s just general questions and next step is to send an email to schedule an interview. The next day an automated email states we can’t offer you a role.Geez get your heads screwed on correctly. How about make sure the left hand knows there is a right hand. Do you guys even know how to dress yourself in the morning.They were trying to fill a position at Nationwide Insurance Company. This interaction with them tells me to never trust doing any business with Nationwide or Innosource.

      Bill Ernst and his associates are awesome. I have known him for years and he is not only a business advisor, but as great a person as you could want advising you. I highly recommend Bill and GBQ.

      I connected with Portfolio Creative's Derik Abbott earlier this summer and he facilitated me to my current employer with tact, precision and a good eye for both organization and the employee alike. It was a superb process and Lish at Portfolio Creative is great too. I absolutely recommend!

      I connected with Portfolio's Derik Abbott earlier this year and within two weeks, he had found me a perfect opportunity as a free-lance video producer. Lish has been great, too. The on-boarding process with Portfolio was very smooth. As my employer, they are super friendly and helpful. And I get paid weekly. Thank you, Portfolio!!

      I love being a freelance graphic designer with Portfolio Creative. I’ve been working with them since 2018, and they’ve placed me in two really incredible opportunities - one being the absolute best job and best team I’ve ever experienced. Everyone at the Portfolio team I’ve encountered has always been so helpful and warm, and I feel they have been such a valuable partner to have in my design career. So grateful!

      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.

      As an accounting firm I would give them 1 star. I recently discovered a litany of deductions they failed to consider. You will be given an EA, which is just a glorified tax preparer. They will know nothing and be slow to reply. You might as well get your taxes done by H&R block or a proper independent CPA. If these folks do your taxes, get prepared for a larger tax bill. I strongly advise against it.

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: 

  1. Insperity 
  2. G&A Partners 
  3. StaffScapes 
  4. ExtensisHR 
  5. Corban OneSource 
  6. Infiniti HR 
  7. Stratus.hr 
  8. Focus HR 
  9. VeroHR 
  10. Symmetry HR Outsourcing 

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: 

  1. What specific HR services do you provide, and can I select them individually? 
  2. How do you handle compliance in our industry and locations? 
  3. What happens if you make errors in payroll, benefits, or compliance? 
  4. What is your client retention rate, and can you provide 3-5 similar business references? 
  5. What insurance coverage do you carry to protect our business? 
  6. What is your complete pricing structure, including all fees? 
  7. What are your contract terms and cancellation policies? 
  8. 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.
