Thanks to the ladies of San Diego Human Resources, they have helped us get on a path where we feel more comfortable knowing we are following all applicable laws. Dealing with employees in the state of california can daunting, but with their support we feel much more at ease. Thanks!

We are not big enough to have our own full time HR person. We rely on SD HR Consulting to fill all of our HR needs. Recently they guided us through an employee complaint against another employee. They provided expert advice to help get us through all of the steps we needed to take to protect our company. I would recommend them to any company that needs that assistance.

Our company contacted San Diego Human Resources Consulting in order to address and clean up a few human resource issues confronting our business. Our initial consultation was with Linda Cortez, who listened intently to our needs and provided the services we need without being pushy or over-selling their services. We were then connected with our Human Resources Specialist, Cherie Beck, who worked with us on our particular needs and has been a great partner in addressing the issues we need to remedy. Specifically, she has assisted in: reviewing our current employee handbook and making any necessary

I cannot say enough great things about SDHR. Their Customer Experience Manager, Linda Cortez, introduced me to them. I am so grateful to her for the opportunity to work with such a well-informed and professional group. Being a small, private company in California, we require outside HR guidance and appreciate what SDHR can offer. They are flexible, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend their services.
