Get your evenings back. We’ll handle the hiring and the HR.
Every business deserves great HR and great hires. Yours shouldn’t have to come from you at 9pm. For 30 years, owners with 5 to 400 people have handed us both: our recruiters find your next hire, our HR Directors make sure you keep them, and you get back to the work only you can do.
“I need to hire someone.”
Stop sorting 200 résumés. Two recruiters run your search from intake call to offer letter: part-time or full-time, HR, finance, admin and operations.
- 80,000+ candidates in our database before a job post goes up
- Four to eight weeks from kickoff to accepted offer
- 18–21% direct placement, or 1.5× on our payroll
“I need HR off my desk.”
Hand the compliance questions, the handbook and the hard conversations to a SHRM-certified HR Director with 20+ years, a few hours a month or full time.
- Six services, matched to your headcount from 5 to 400
- From a fractional HR Director at $500 a month to a full HR Executive Search
- HR that grows as you grow
Two problems. Which one is yours?
The IO Way: four stages, no step skipped.
A little extra time up front, getting to know the role, your culture and why someone would want to work for you, leads to a much better hire.
80,000+ candidates in our database, our “Most Placeable Candidates” list, job boards, and outreach to people who haven’t applied.
Every résumé reviewed. Video interviews with every qualified applicant. Finalists compared side by side so you see only the very best.
Everyone we send has been vetted with our tools, our experience and our gut. Interview right away and decide quickly; waiting even three days makes candidates hesitant.
Reference checks with two or three past employers, only once you’ve chosen. Then the offer, and a replacement search at no charge if it doesn’t work out.
Slide to your headcount. We’ll show you which service fits.
After 30 years we have found headcount is the single best predictor of how much HR a business needs. Six services cover 5 to 400 people, from a Director a few hours a month to a full executive search.
Both sides, in their words.
“Innovative Outsourcing found us two dynamic professionals, a Controller and an Executive Assistant. We were most pleased with the quality of the candidates compared to other firms we have used in the past. Their vetting process has been a real success.”
“Their partnership has let us hand off the issues that are above our pay grade, so our organization and staff stay protected and, hopefully, flourishing.”
Change the way businesses view HR and recruiting, while giving our team meaningful work without sacrificing a meaningful life.
Straight answers, before you call.
What does Innovative Outsourcing do?
Two things: consultative recruiting and fractional HR for small and mid-sized businesses. We find part-time and full-time hires in HR, finance, admin and operations, and we act as the HR department for companies of 5 to 400 people through HR Compass and our other HR services. We have done this for 30 years from Atlanta, serving the Southeast.
How much does fractional HR cost?
HR Compass starts at $500 a month for 3 hours with a dedicated, SHRM-certified HR Director, $900 for 6 hours and $1,400 and up for 10 or more. It runs month to month. An HR Assessment and Roadmap is a one-time $2,500 to $5,000 depending on headcount and location.
How much does recruiting cost?
Direct placement is 18 to 21 percent of first-year salary, pro-rated for part-time roles, retained or contingent. For long-term part-time hires on our payroll, the bill rate is the employee’s pay rate times 1.5 for the first 1,000 hours, then 1.3 times.
How long does a search take?
Most searches take four to eight weeks from kickoff to accepted offer. We give you a realistic estimate for your role before we start, and if a placement does not work out within the guarantee window we run a replacement search at no charge.
What size companies do you work with?
Generally 5 to 400 employees for HR and 20 to 400 for recruiting: businesses where every hire has real impact and the owner wants a partner, not a volume firm.
