WHEN FRACTIONAL HR WINS

Fractional HR is usually the right call when...

  • You want to own your employee relationships
  • You need specific HR expertise, not a bundle
  • Cost predictability matters to your budget
  • You're already running payroll through a provider you like
  • You need someone to move fast on an active HR issue

WHEN A PEO MIGHT MAKE SENSE

A PEO might fit if...

  • You want payroll, benefits, and HR all in one vendor
  • You're scaling very rapidly and need plug-and-play infrastructure
  • Benefits administration is your primary HR need
  • You're comfortable with co-employment arrangements

COMMON QUESTIONS

We'll Tell You the Truth. Starting Here.

What makes Texas HR Team different from a PEO?

A PEO co-employs your staff and bundles services you may not need, often with markups on workers’ comp and payroll. We diagnose exactly what your HR needs are and create a Scope of Services that is customized to your organization. We provide a variety of different payment options including hourly, retainer models, and project fees. No conflicts of interest, no bundled fees. Every recommendation is built around what’s right for your business, not what generates a kickback.

How quickly can you get started?

Proposals in 24 hours. Work starts in 48. HR issues don’t wait for a two-week discovery call. Neither do we.

What does the free HR Needs Assessment include?

A 30-minute call with one of our certified HR professionals. We look at your current headcount, any open HR issues, your compliance exposure, and where the biggest gaps are. You walk away with a clear picture – no obligation, no sales pressure.

Do you work with business outside the DFW area?

We’re based in Texas and know this market deeply, but we work with clients across multiple states. If you have a Texas presence or multi-state compliance needs, we’re the right team.
