Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We offer scalable solutions for businesses of all sizes, from small startups to mid-sized companies and large corporations.
Do you offer completely outsourced HR solutions?
Yes. Through our HR Management Outsourcing approach, we can take on all tasks associated with staffing, onboarding, employee relations, benefits, payroll, and training.

Yes, Smarter HR Solutions is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), and we hold HUB certification through the City of Houston and are recognized under the Hire Houston First program.
How much does it cost to use your IT staffing services?
For direct-hire placements, we charge a simple flat rate of $5,000, regardless of the role's seniority or salary, a significant departure from traditional agencies that charge a percentage of the position's annual salary. This makes hiring for senior or specialized IT roles, like data analysts, project managers, or PeopleSoft specialists, more predictable and cost-effective.

They Care!
What can I say if I truly have no words...
There are recruiters, agencies, and then there are companies that care and want what’s best for you! Smarter HR was heaven sent! Professional, Prompt, Caring, Organized, Quick feedback, and most importantly connects you to wonderful opportunities. Looking for a job can be stressful. Smarter HR took that element out of my search. I felt like family. I felt like they generally cared. With my current company I began on contract. Nicole advised me saying “every day is an interview”. Fast-forward months later and I was offered a full-time position. I am thankful to the Smarter HR team, and I am blessed to have crossed paths with such an awesome company dedicated to the complete success of their clients.
