HR Administration and Compliance
Your consultants are people, not payroll lines. We handle the HR work that proves it.
From the first onboarding signature to the final separation notice, TechServe 360 handles the day to day HR administration that keeps your consultants supported and your firm protected.
Strategic HR Advisory
The hardest HR moments in a staffing firm are rarely about the law. They are about a real person, a real client, and a decision someone has to make today. That is the work we sit alongside our clients in.

What HR Actually Looks Like in a Staffing Firm
Most staffing firm leaders did not start their companies because they wanted to write handbooks or sit through termination conversations. But the HR work does not slow down as the firm grows. It accelerates. More consultants, more states, more client policies, more questions that do not have an obvious answer.
TechServe 360 takes that work off your plate. Not the way a software platform does, by giving you a portal and a checklist, but the way an in house HR director does, by handling the situation.
What We Cover
Six areas of HR administration, designed around the realities of placing IT and Engineering consultants.
Onboarding and Documentation
Offer letters, I-9 verification, restrictive covenants, state specific new hire reporting, and the paperwork that needs to be right before a consultant ever shows up at a client site.
Handbooks and Workplace Policies
A staffing specific employee handbook, kept current as states change paid leave, pay transparency, and other workplace rules. Policy supplements for the states where you actually place consultants, not a generic fifty state binder.
Worker Classification
Practical guidance on W-2 versus 1099 decisions, agency of record arrangements, and state specific tests. The judgment calls that determine whether a placement is a clean engagement or a future audit.
Day to Day Employee Relations
The questions that do not fit in a portal. A consultant requesting accommodation. A client asking you to remove someone from an assignment. A complaint about a fellow consultant. A termination that needs to be handled cleanly. We work through these with you in real time.
Leave, Time Off, and Benefits Administration
State paid sick leave accruals, PTO policies that work for transient consultants, leave of absence administration, and the day to day questions your consultants will ask about their time off and benefits.
Offboarding and Separations
State specific final pay timing, separation documentation, COBRA notices, and unemployment response. The end of an engagement is where firms most often get caught out. We make sure yours does not.
Seamless Implementation Process
We make switching to TechServe 360 easy with a proven process that ensures accuracy and minimal disruption to your operations. Most generic HR providers handle stages one and five, the paperwork stages. The hard work is in the middle three, and that is where we earn our keep.
01
Onboard
Offer, hire documentation, classification decision, state specific notices.
02
Deploy
Workplace policies, leave accruals, pay transparency notices where required.
03
Manage
Day to day employee relations, accommodation requests, performance conversations.
04
Transition
Extensions, conversions, redeployment between client engagements.
05
Offboard
Final pay timing, separation paperwork, COBRA, unemployment response.
Advice from people who have run this work, not just read about it.
HR advice from someone who has only ever worked in generic small business HR will not help much when a client demands you remove a consultant mid assignment, or when a state agency starts asking about a misclassification claim. The TechServe 360 advisory team includes senior HR and legal leadership from public IT staffing firms. People who have drafted the handbooks, defended the audits, sat through the depositions, and managed the exits. That experience is built into the recommendations we make.
How We Work With You
Four ways the relationship shows up week to week.
Handle
Most of what we do, we do for you. Handbook updates, new hire packets, separation documents, policy revisions. You do not get homework, you get a finished outcome.
Advise
When a real situation hits, a termination, a complaint, an accommodation request, a wage claim, you call your dedicated advisor and we work through it together.
Watch
We track employment law changes in the states where you place consultants. When something changes that affects you, we update your policies and tell you what changed and why.
Prepare
When you are preparing for a sale, a financing round, or a client audit, your HR records and policies are in order. We organize the file before the buyer asks for it.
Why This Matters for the Business
HR is not just a cost center. Done well, it protects enterprise value. Done poorly, it shows up in due diligence as a problem the buyer wants to discount the price for. Inattention to HR administration can derail a sale or reduce the price when an owner is ready to exit.
TechServe 360 clients tend to come to us before that point, while the firm is still scaling. The goal is straightforward. Build the HR foundation now so it never becomes the thing that gets in the way later.
Get the HR work off your desk, and done right.
