Frequently Asked Questions
Why would we outsource HR instead of handling it in-house?
Because time, energy, and compliance headaches are expensive. HR Coastal gives you immediate access to experienced HR help without the overhead of a full-time hire. You get expert support, minus the payroll burden.
Will you replace my current HR person or office manager?
No. We’re here to support, not replace. If you already have someone managing HR tasks (often an office manager or admin), we’ll work alongside them to fill in the gaps — whether that’s compliance, recruiting, or strategy. If you don’t have anyone? We’ve got you covered completely.
Do you provide temp staffing or run payroll?
We don’t place temporary workers or run payroll in-house. Our focus is on strategic HR, not just transactions. Think hiring strategy, compliance, training, and documentation — the stuff that protects your business and builds strong teams.
What size companies do you usually work with?
Most of our clients have 3 to 50 employees. The sweet spot is small businesses with 10 to 40 people— companies that are too small for a full-time HR department, but too smart to wing it.
Are we too small (or too big) for HR Coastal?
If you’ve got employees, you’ve got HR needs — even if it’s just a team of 3. We specialize in very small businesses and startups, but we’ve supported companies up to 75 employees. If your HR is stressing you out, that’s a good sign we can help.
What makes HR Coastal different from other HR consultants?
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We work almost exclusively with small businesses, and we tailor everything — from policies to onboarding to training — to your size, team, and budget. You won’t get canned templates or generic advice. Just real, practical HR help that fits your business.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Our services are flexible. You can start small, scale up, or hit pause — whatever your business needs. Many clients stick with us long-term because we become a trusted part of their team, but there’s no lock-in required.
