HR Companies & HR Consultants in Triadelphia, WV

AlignHR, LLC is a West Virginia human resources consulting and outsourcing firm that acts as an external HR partner for employers lacking a full in-house HR function. Its sweet spot is organizations of roughly 125 or fewer employees where personnel duties are either absent or scattered across owners, presidents, finance leaders, executive assistants and payroll staff.

The firm also supports companies that already employ HR staff but need additional capacity to finish projects and keep up with workload, as well as start-ups and employers with several hundred workers.

Service Model

The company organizes its work around three pillars, namely compliance, structure and strategy, and offers three main ways to engage. Buyers can hand over the entire HR function through managed, retainer or fractional arrangements; use the talent division for recruiting; or purchase individual services and discrete projects on an as-needed basis.

AlignHR describes its approach as both preventive and responsive, aiming to remove HR bottlenecks so leadership can concentrate on growth and long-term goals. A free online HR check-up lets prospective clients gauge their practices against topics such as wage-and-hour classification, handbook currency, record keeping, supervisor training, onboarding, exit interviews and harassment training.

Specific offerings described on the firm's website include:

• Fully managed, retainer and fractional HR department support
• Administrative services organization (ASO) programs
• Recruiting and talent acquisition through AlignHR Talent
• HR audits and compliance reviews
• Employment claims handling and resolution
• Affirmative action plans
• Employee and supervisor handbooks
• Tailored training and employee surveys
• Association and group programs
• Payroll and time tracking solutions

Technology and Payroll

Beyond consulting, AlignHR pairs its services with technology. It combines proprietary software with tools from partners, including the Mineral HR resource portal, an AlignHR mobile app and an audit tool for clients. On the payroll side, the firm works with Execupay and Gusto and offers time tracking, which can appeal to small employers wanting HR guidance and payroll processing from a single provider.

Industries and Reach

The firm works across a broad mix of sectors, among them technology, associations, professional services, retail, banking and finance, distribution and logistics, education, energy, government and state agencies, municipalities, healthcare and dental, hospitality and recreation, nonprofits, manufacturing, chemical and construction. Through a group of affiliated companies it supports clients nationwide, including U.S. divisions of foreign-owned businesses and organizations in Puerto Rico. Within West Virginia it serves employers in and around Charleston, Morgantown, Wheeling, Huntington and Parkersburg.
