The HR Fit Check
Ten questions about your business. An honest read on what shape of HR support fits: doing it yourself, a subscription, a PEO, a fractional partner, or a full-time hire, with the reasons shown and your states' rules on one list.
How the six options fit
Each score shows the three things that moved it most, and every cost is worked out at your headcount, monthly and yearly, so the options compare fairly. The number is a read, not a verdict.

Who's behind this
Erin Glover
I built this because the first question every owner asks me is "what do I actually need?" and the honest answer is usually smaller than they fear.
Thirteen years of in-house HR before going out on my own: startups, mid-sized companies, and a Fortune 100 insurer, across manufacturing, lending, and insurance. I have supported employees in all fifty states, and I know what a department of one looks like from the inside. Glover & Co. is a woman-owned practice that works with owner-run businesses, usually 25 to 75 people, that need real HR structure without a full department. UConn, class of 2013.
