You handle the business.
We’ll handle the people.
Complete HR, talent and people support, without hiring an HR department.
HR & compliance
A handbook written for your state, classification done properly, onboarding that runs the same way every time. The unglamorous work that keeps you out of trouble.
Managers & retention
Manager coaching, documented performance conversations and retention systems. Turnover is a system problem. We fix the system.
Wearing every hat,
all before noon?
The CEO, the HR department and the mediator. If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly who we built Simply HR for. Every decision we make is filtered through four lenses.
-
Time
Employee questions, paperwork and complaints come off your plate, with documented processes and on-call support.
-
Cost
An in-house HR manager runs $70,000 to $98,800 a year plus benefits. We are a whole HR team for a fraction of it.
-
Protection
Wrongful termination settlements average $40,000. Proactive compliance removes most of that risk before it starts.
-
Revenue
Replacing one employee costs $3,500 to $7,500. Better hiring and lower turnover go straight to the bottom line.
What business owners are saying about Simply HR.
Real quotes from real clients, growing companies in Utah and beyond.
Alex Watts Provisio EHS Co-Founder
SimplyHR has been a great partner in helping us hire and manage W-2 employees across multiple states. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and has made navigating HR requirements much easier for our company. Highly recommend!
Ryan Marshall Vinx Pest Control CEO & Founder
SimplyHR has been a tremendous resource for Vinx Pest Control as we’ve continued to grow. They brought structure, consistency, and professionalism to our HR and recruiting processes while helping us build stronger systems around onboarding, employee experience, policies, and talent acquisition. I would gladly recommend SimplyHR to any growing company looking for experienced HR and recruiting support.
Chris Call Source Termite Solutions COO
I highly recommend Simply HR. They’ve been an incredible asset to our business. They’ve not only brought us top-tier talent in our target markets but also navigated the complexities of wage and hour laws as we expanded into new states. If you’re looking for high-level execution, they deliver.
Not a PEO. Not an HR app.
No co-employment, no lock-in. You keep full ownership of your business and your people.
A full HR team behind you: compliance, recruiting, employee relations and safety, not one generalist wearing every hat. We built the people system inside a nationwide company and scaled it from 300 to 1,800 employees. Now we bring that to businesses of 1 to 500.
The people you’ll
actually be working with.
Not a call centre. Not a junior generalist. These five.

It needs a people system.
The best small businesses don’t win because they have the longest handbook. They win because they consistently find better people, hire the right ones, develop stronger leaders and keep their best performers.
