At Creative Workforce Solutions, we believe that there’s a difference between filling a job and staffing an organization. Talent acquisition and subsequent talent management require a commitment to hire, manage and retain employees who are right for your organization. Solid processes and systems that track the lifecycle of employees are what keep the best workforces in place.

That’s why we work with your team to develop a recruitment strategy based on your needs and best practices, then find the right people to add value to your organization over the long term. Our team of HR professionals goes beyond basic recruiting to assist with every detail—from branding your recruitment program and crafting job postings to sourcing and screening candidates who are ideal for your company. And, as many of our clients have learned, because we are not a contingency search firm, we help build your organization at a fraction of the cost.

In a recent engagement, Creative Workforce Solutions developed a recruitment strategy and placement plan which placed more than 30 new hires in less than 5 months, saving the company over $300,000 in contingency search firm fees.

Perhaps the most compelling statement we can make is that every client who has brought us in has asked us back again.

Find out how Creative Workforce Solutions can help you find and hire the right people for your long-term success. Our talent acquisition offering includes:

  • Nationwide Sourcing and Screening Capabilities
  • Hiring and Onboarding
  • Improvement of Management Skill Sets through Training

Often, especially in mid-sized businesses, the human resources team finds itself taking on roles outside standard HR responsibilities. In fact, many people expect that payroll is part of the HR role. As a result, it’s not unusual for payroll and related tasks to wind up on the already-full plates of human resources professionals.

As you know, however, payroll is clearly deadline driven. When time is tight, you don’t have the option of putting it off until next week—or even tomorrow.

It is, however, something you can easily outsource.

At Creative Workforce Solutions, we understand the importance of having payroll managed effectively, accurately and on time. Our team of HR and finance professionals are always ready to pitch in—whether it’s just during crunch times for bonuses, raises or year-end processing, or as an ongoing resource for day-to-day payroll processing.

Led by a controller who offers extensive experience with a wide range of payroll platforms, our Payroll Services group regularly assists our clients with all of their payroll needs.

As some industries and functions move toward paperless offices, HR professionals remain buried under reams of paper. What’s more, even records stored electronically need to be continually updated in order to stay current. Further complicating the situation are growing regulations around how long to keep information, as well as how it must be stored and who is allowed access.

These are just a few of the reasons Creative Workforce Solutions has developed an HR administration offering. We can help you get your HR house in order through services such as:

  • Reviewing and completing I-9 documents
  • Setting up compliant personnel and benefits files
  • Auditing records for missing, outdated or inaccurate information
  • Filing annual EEO-1 reports

Not only can these services help prevent incurring fines in the case of an audit by the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor or EEOC, but our dedication to these critical tasks reduces the risk of human error while freeing your team to focus on more strategic initiatives.

The Human Resources function has grown to include a greater purpose within an organization. Although responsibility has increased, in most cases, staffing has not—internal resources can be challenged with a workload beyond their capacity or skill set. Creative Workforce Solutions can provide external expertise to align with your company’s strategic goals and long range plans.

Our team can help to take a strategic look at your human resources function by considering your organizational structure and the factors that affect your people and their performance.

Here are some of the ways that Creative Workforce Solutions helps our clients through outsourced HR support:

  • Acting HR Director or Generalist Services—on a per-diem basis for smaller firms
  • Interim HR Services—for firms looking for HR leadership, requiring assistance during a staff leave of absence, or who need temporary HR support during peak times
  • Overview of HR Systems, Processes and People—gap analysis and recommendations for improvement
  • Contract Recruiting Services
  • Strategic Planning
  • Organizational Development
  • Employee Handbooks, Policy Manuals and Business Process Mapping/SOPs
  • Succession Planning and Performance Management
