Outsourced HR for Startups — Fractional, Not a Ticket Queue

Outsourced HR for startups, with one senior person who knows your company.

Most outsourced HR for startups means a help desk: you submit a question and a generalist answers it. That is fine for an occasional policy question and not enough when you are scaling, hiring across states or fixing comp.

FlexHR outsources your HR leadership to one named executive who learns the business, makes recommendations you can act on and ships the work: handbooks, comp bands, hiring processes and performance cycles.

What you can hand off

Compliance setup and multi-state registrations (with your payroll provider)
Handbook and policies, reviewed by your employment counsel where needed
Offer letters, onboarding, offboarding and terminations
Benefits and PEO selection, renewal negotiations and transitions
Comp ranges, raises, promotions and equity refreshes
Manager coaching and employee-relations issues

Frequently asked questions

Is outsourced HR cheaper than hiring?

Usually, until roughly 100–150 employees. A full-time senior HR leader costs well into six figures plus equity and benefits, while fractional retainers start at $4,000 per month and can be paused or scaled.

Do you handle payroll?

No. Payroll and benefits administration stays with your payroll platform or PEO. We set it up correctly, manage the vendor and own the decisions around it.
