HR Companies & HR Consultants in Cherry Hill, NJ

Humareso is a human resources outsourcing and HR software company founded in 2012 by John Baldino, who serves as its president. The firm is headquartered in Vero Beach, Florida, and maintains a regional office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which gives South Jersey and Delaware Valley employers a nearby point of access.

Its clients are typically growing organizations that need senior-level HR thinking but are too small to build a large internal department. The company frames its mission around giving a 75-person business the kind of strategic HR support usually reserved for much larger employers.

Outsourced HR without co-employment

The core offering is an HRO arrangement rather than a PEO. Client companies retain their own EIN, remain the legal employer of their workforce, and keep their existing benefits brokers, carriers and renewal schedules. Humareso assigns each account a dedicated pod of credentialed practitioners who attend client meetings and do not rotate.

A typical team can include an HR business partner as the main contact, a payroll specialist, a benefits administrator, a leave case manager, a recruiter and a compliance lead, with the makeup scaled to the engagement. Clients can choose individual modules and add more over time, and the firm says new outsourcing clients can be operational within about two weeks.

Engagements include quarterly business reviews and a yearly review of scope.

Services available through Humareso include:

• Payroll processing and multi-state tax filing, run on the client's current platform such as ADP, Paychex, Gusto or isolved
• Benefits administration, including open enrollment, COBRA and FSA/HSA coordination
• Leave management covering FMLA, ADA and state paid family leave programs
• Compliance support, handbook upkeep, required postings and audit preparation
• Employee relations work such as investigations, terminations and severance
• Recruitment, from sourcing through I-9 verification
• Employment verification, unemployment administration and HR technology advisory
• Compensation consulting and management training as add-on services

Technology developed internally

Humareso also builds its own HR software, which can be licensed on its own or combined with outsourcing. The platform shares a single employee roster and login across products including Engage, Perform, Lead360, Leave, Verify and a client Portal.

Engage centers on quick weekly employee check-ins and anonymous pulse surveys, alongside goal tracking, 360-degree feedback, one-on-one meeting agendas, recognition points and analytics, so leaders can spot falling engagement before it turns into turnover. Leave pairs software with a dedicated specialist to manage case intake, notices, certification deadlines and return dates across federal rules and more than 30 state programs.

Industries and credentials

The firm tailors its work to sectors including nonprofits, startups, restaurants and hospitality, auto dealerships, golf, healthcare, professional services, construction and trades, and venture- and private-equity-backed portfolio companies, and it also supports organizations dealing with a crisis. Its staff hold SHRM and HRCI certifications such as SHRM-SCP, SHRM-CP and SPHR, and several have advanced degrees.

Recognition cited by the company includes the 2025 Best Culture Building Solution award at the HR Tech Awards from Lighthouse Research & Advisory, a 2025 HR Executive Top 100 HR Tech Influencer listing for Baldino, and multiple Delaware Valley HR Person of the Year honors for Baldino and BJ Anderson, its director of HR operations.

For New Jersey buyers weighing outsourcing options, Humareso's main distinctions are an HRO model that avoids co-employment, a platform-agnostic approach to payroll, and the pairing of a consistent named team with proprietary software developed by the same firm.
