Outsourced HR services: common questions
What are outsourced HR services?
An outside partner serves as your HR department. Signent takes on day-to-day HR leadership and execution for businesses with no dedicated HR function, or where HR work is spread too thin across non-HR roles.
What does outsourced HR cover?
Typical support includes operational HR ownership, employee support, payroll and benefits coordination, and manager backup, with compliance, employee relations, handbooks and manager coaching behind it.
Is outsourced HR the same as a PEO?
No. A PEO co-employs your workforce. Signent is not a PEO and not an HRIS: your business stays the employer, and you get expert human HR support.
What happens when we hire HR internally?
Outsourced HR may complement or transition toward internal HR as the organization matures.
