From your first brief to a Payroll specialist working in Gusto and ADP, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.
Tell us the work to own, from payroll processing and review to tax and compliance, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.
We screen candidates for payroll processing and review, tax and compliance, and practical fluency in Gusto and ADP. You review a shortlist with relevant context.
Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.
Best for businesses that need accurate, on-time payroll and dependable employee record administration.
Overtime, bonuses and deductions get calculated correctly on your schedule, instead of double-checked in a rush before the run.
Payroll tax requirements get tracked as they change by state, instead of caught after a filing deadline has already passed.
Paperwork gets processed on your onboarding timeline, instead of chased down the week someone is supposed to start.
One dedicated specialist costs less than the salary, benefits and payroll taxes a full-time in-house hire adds up to.
Filing deadlines get tracked across every jurisdiction you operate in, so nothing lands on your desk as a surprise.
Payroll is the one thing that cannot slip. We screen for accuracy and reliability first, speed second.
5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.
Bilingual English and Spanish talent from Latin America, strongest in medical and legal.
Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).
"They built the analytics and automation our leadership now runs on, recovered tens of thousands in freight claims and cut manual work by 96%."
"It was very easy working with HireHawk, from looking for viable candidates, the interview process, all the way to implementation of your hire, they handle it all. We are also very happy with our hire. Very easy and seamless process."
"HireHawk filled two senior roles in under two weeks. The candidates were sharper than anything our in-house recruiter surfaced in months."
"Her scope grew within months and our leadership asked to meet her in person. We came back to HireHawk to expand the rest of the team."
"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."
The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.
HireHawk is a staffing agency for growing US companies with industry-specialized recruiters. This is one of the seats we fill most: we recruit for it, run 5-Stage Vetting, and either employ the hire on global talent or place them directly on your payroll.
Yes, and we screen for it directly rather than for payroll experience in general. Tell us every state you operate in on the discovery call, and we match you with a specialist who already knows those specific state tax rules, instead of someone learning your compliance requirements live.
Your specialist already works in Gusto, ADP, Rippling and most standard payroll platforms, so the first pay cycle does not become a training exercise. Name your actual system on the discovery call, and we match you with someone who already processes payroll in it, instead of learning the interface live.
Yes. W-2 and 1099 preparation at year end is already part of the role, so you are not scrambling in January to find someone who knows the current filing requirements. Your specialist handles it on the same schedule as the rest of your payroll cycle, start to finish.
Mostly, and payroll outsourcing services describes that same core work under a slightly different name. Payroll processing and filings are the core of this role, on your schedule, instead of a vendor's. Broader HR work, like policy or employee relations, can be scoped in on the discovery call, though the default hire stays focused on payroll.
You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.
Yes. New hire paperwork and employee record maintenance are already part of the role, so payroll and basic HR admin run through the same person instead of two separate vendors. Tell us your actual HR needs on the discovery call, and we scope the hire to cover exactly that.
Tell us your states and your payroll system. We'll put a vetted payroll specialist on it.
