HR Products & Services to Help Organizations at Every Stage
Powered by Swift HR Solutions, Summit HR Services provides outsourced HR solutions to help you build your team with intention. Our flexible service levels adapt to any organization.
We recognize the importance and value of HR expertise in small and early stage companies. Our clients have full-time access to the expertise of a senior-level (Director/VP) HR professional at a lower overall cost than a full-time junior administrative HR employee. So whether you are an early-stage company or a larger company in need of interim assistance, Summit HR Services can help.
Whether your company is experiencing a management transition, growing rapidly, downsizing, refocusing its business objectives, or any of a myriad of things that challenge businesses, we function as a strategic partner offering practical solutions and support. We design, implement, and manage stage-appropriate processes and programs that evolve along with your company.
