HR Companies & HR Consultants in Hagatna, GU

Pacific Human Resource Services, Inc., known as PHRS, is a human resources firm based in Hagåtña that serves both employers and job seekers across Guam. It was founded in April 1997 and is a small, minority-owned company that is locally owned and run. It works with private businesses, government agencies and non-profit groups. Buyers looking for one local partner to cover staffing, compliance, testing and training will find that PHRS offers all of these under one roof.

Core HR and Consulting Work

The firm calls itself a full-service HR provider. Its core work includes employment management, project management, HR advisory work and strategic planning for client organizations. Its main areas of expertise are hiring, workforce development, performance audits, and helping employers meet federal employment rules and standards. This mix suits organizations that need policy and compliance help alongside day-to-day workforce support.

Staffing, Screening and Workforce Programs

PHRS also runs a staffing practice, so clients can fill roles in several ways:

• Recruitment for direct hires
• Temporary placements
• Temporary-to-hire arrangements
• Employer of record services
• Apprenticeship and intermediary support
• TWIC/TSA PreCheck services

The firm also offers workplace drug and alcohol screening. Tests cover pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion or cause, return-to-duty and follow-up cases, and individuals can also book a self-check. Clients can choose instant or lab-based tests in panels from 5 to 10 drugs, and PHRS can come on site to test at any hour, any day of the week. This helps employers with round-the-clock operations or urgent testing needs after an incident.

Training and Leadership Development

Leadership development is a key part of what PHRS offers. Its training work uses FranklinCovey programs. Local government and business support groups recognize the company as a training provider, including Guam's Agency for Human Resources, the Small Business Development Center and Community Services and Resources. That recognition may matter to employers whose training spending depends on approved providers or workforce program rules.

Leadership and Background

The firm's site names Grace Donaldson as Chief Operating Officer and General Manager. She brings more than 25 years of experience in HR management and training. The Governor of Guam appointed her to the Guam Workforce Investment Board. She has been elected president and vice president of programs of the Guam chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

She has also served as treasurer of Soroptimist International of Guam and has chaired a committee on HR and training within Guam's hotel and restaurant sector. For buyers comparing providers, PHRS combines nearly three decades on the island, local ownership and community ties with a wide range of services.

Staffing, compliance consulting, drug testing, apprenticeship support and leadership training all come from the same team.
