Frequently Asked Questions
Outsourced HR empowers you to concentrate on business growth by placing HR responsibilities in expert hands, ensuring a solid support team is built for your venture without the overhead of an internal hire. We’re proactive here at Castle HR – meaning we focus on building modern processes and a phenomenal team to support you… rather than solely reacting to specific HR challenges.
HR consulting is pivotal for aligning your team’s talents with your business goals, ensuring everyone is in the right seat to fuel company growth. We blend modern strategies with your vision to build a powerhouse team that elevates your business to its peak potential.
Castle HR is more than just outsourced HR – we provide a comprehensive, fractional HR subscription service, partnering you with a senior HR professional tailored to your business needs. We work with you until you’re ready to make your first internal HR hire; then, we pass the baton.
We take a holistic, expert approach to your HR landscape and growth goals. We tackle Foundational HR (this includes things like custom employee handbooks and values creation) as well as advanced strategies in talent acquisition, modern performance reviews, leadership training, and dynamic onboarding/offboarding and more. We align our tools with your business trajectory, ensuring effective HR support from a senior-level HR Professional at a fraction of the cost.
Castle HR is not an ‘a la carte’ HR service. While we aren’t a forever solution, we work with most clients for months (typically 12-18) to create and implement custom, modern HR solutions for their business. With that said, we don’t do one-off HR emergencies.
We are neither recruiters nor do administrative work (such as payroll and benefits).
We recommend investing in HR consulting once you've achieved product-market fit and your business shifts focus from validation to growth, typically between 15 to 50 employees. This is the optimal window to enhance team development and operational efficiency, setting a solid foundation before possibly transitioning to in-house HR at larger scales.
Note that if your headcount isn’t within the stated range, but you feel you’d benefit from our services, we still welcome you to book a call; there are no bad questions, and we may still be able to work with your company.
