Working with Castle HR is...

Our subscription costs as little as $3,200 a month and there’s no long-term commitment. Hiring a full-time HR generalist can easily cost 3x that much all-in.

We employ some of the best senior HR talent in Canada. They know the difference between what will work for you and what’s likely going to be a waste of time and energy.

Everything that we do is from an impact mindset. Our primary objective is to put the HR pieces in place so our clients can sustainably scale their business.

“When a situation or question arises, I have no worries as I know Stephanie (our dedicated Senior HR Professional) will be able to answer the question and address any situation no matter how tough.”

Kim Benedict

Co-Founder and CEO TalentMinded

How This Works

Once you autograph your agreement, we get right to work.

1. Meet Your HR Partner

We'll introduce you to your dedicated Senior HR Professional. They instantly become an extension of your team, available to assist in all people matters.

2. Create An Action Plan

You meet with your HR Partner to discuss your company's goals. They will help align which modern HR strategies will best support these, and in what order to pursue them.

3. Start Your First Sprint

We dive into the first stage of your Action Plan. Each quarter we'll assess what got done, what's currently in progress, and readjust for priorities that have shifted.

“You heard it here first – Google doesn’t have an HR Degree, so don’t let Google handle your HR needs.

What We Cover

We can handle pretty much anything that a full-time, in-house HR person would. That includes…

Unlimited Expert HR Advice

This is available immediately and continuously to help you navigate any employee-related curveballs that get thrown your way. Ask your dedicated HR Business Partner anything – there are no “bad” questions!

HR Foundations

We’ll review your core employee documents, establish employee feedback channels, solidify your company values, implement/optimize your HR technology, create a custom employee handbook, and analyze your org chart.

Performance Reviews

These ensure you have the right people in the right roles for optimal performance. They’re also a chance to check in on people’s wellness and highlight the exciting growth opportunities available within your organization.

Talent Acquisition

We’re not recruiters but we’ll show you all of the tips, tricks and techniques they use to find and hire great talent. From how you define the ideal candidate profile, to where you post, and how to structure your interview process.

Onboarding & Offboarding

How employees enter and exit your organization plays a vital role in your overall employee experience. We’ll show you how to keep that “new hire energy” going and, when necessary, conduct exits in a smooth and amicable way.
