I started my company in 2020 and it grew! In 2021, I needed more employees, but pleasing my clientele and moving forward with a lot of effort on its own. I didn't think I had the time to take on employees and manage all of the administration of being an employer. Integral recruiting services took that away by encouraging me to use their payrolling service. I find the people I want, they handle the onboarding paperwork of all the payroll Administration and cost. All I do is approve their time each week. The cost of reasonable and it sets me free to continue growing. I would highly recommend them

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Integral Recruiting Services and it was great. The staff, from the management, to the recruitment team were professional, courteous, understanding and positive. They found me a placement that was in-line with my skillset and compensation needs. I was always able to ask questions and received prompt responses. They were also very professional with all communications between myself and their clients. They offer weekly direct deposit paychecks and they actually show appreciation for work performance. I had a great experience and I would definitely work

I'm very excited to work with Integral Recruiting Services and with Gina, the owner. Gina has a high level of experience and a high level off integrity. Everyone that works with Gina - gets nothing but the best in service and execution. She has been a great resource for me. And I readily refer her to my inner circle without hesitation. Tom Carroll
