HRO Core Inc have been great to work with. Their help administrating our group benefits has freed up time for us to focus on our business. Their team has been quick to answer any questions we’ve had with top notch customer service.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Bryan and his team for over 10 years. From HR advice to benefit plan administration, they’ve provided trustworthy, effective and timely information and guidance. Their scope of practice has expanded greatly over the years and we continue to find ways they can help improve our business. They are a trusted partner, I look forward to working with them for years to come.

Barrett MacDonald, Managing Partner, Almonak Restaurant

What’s great about working with HRO Core is the response times and the level of detail your team gives us. We know you are always on our side and have a hyper-local feel. You offer big city level services with a local flair and interaction.

Graham Collins, Owner, Compass Distillers

Running a small business it is clear that there are things that I know well, and things that I don't know. Could I spend the time and figure them out? Probably, but do I have that time? Could I use the time more effectively? HRO Core fills in those interstitial gaps, where I know that there is a need for properly done HR things, but I don't have the expertise nor the time. Expert advice, properly applied, is well worth it - and lets me focus on our mission.

Tammy Colter, Practice Manager, Citadel Surgery

Citadel Surgery has relied on HRO Core’s advisory and administration of our group benefits and pension programs since 2013. HRO Core’s team makes managing this important part of our compensation easy and enjoyable! It is great to have HRO Core as a dedicated partner supporting our benefits and on call when we need HR support. They have supported Citadel’s team over the years with HR strategy, support of a variety of HR matters, mindfulness training and coaching.

Joe Tinney, Owner, Open Book Coffee

As a first time entrepreneur I had a lot of questions regarding how to successfully implement HR and insurance into the workplace. Bryan took the time to get to know the business , understand our needs and values, and created a tailored plan that fits our requirements. HRO Core’s collaborative, professional approach took all of the guesswork out of the equation, and I look forward to working with them in the future as a trusted partner.

Patrick Wallace, Owner, Trout Point Lodge

Partnering with HRO Core brings a team of experts into our business, and has had a real impact. We are thrilled with our working partnership.

David MacLellan, Director of Finance, Global Non-Profit

One thing that surprised me is how quickly HRO Core turned requests for support around. Not only fast, but fun and cheerful with really helpful options and solutions that we weren’t expecting, which made it really pleasant!

HR and benefits go hand in hand and with HRO Core, benefits are so streamlined. There really was nothing for us to do as the client, which is exactly what we're looking for - we get the statement, but you've handled everything on the back end.

On top of that, you handle all the HR pieces when we have an issue or question, so it is very holistic and exactly what we were looking for. The HRO Core team really knows what they're doing!

Chris Burns, Chief Executive Officer, NOVONIX

NOVONIX was founded with a small team in 2013 and started to quickly grow in the subsequent years. As the team grew, we knew it was critical to bring in support to help us build and implement an HR strategy. The HR needs of a company evolve quickly as it grows, not just for its existing employees but ensuring that best practices are in place to attract talent to support its growth.

When we started working with HRO Core, our HR needs as a company weren’t clearly defined. As we started working together, it was important to know that I could bring up issues of concern, have support in understanding situations and have a thought leadership partner to help the company accomplish its HR goals. In the early engagements with HRO Core, the work they provided was clear with focused scope, but I knew I could pick up the phone and broaden our discussion and work as needed.

At NOVONIX, our people are our greatest strength. From when we were less than 10 people to now over 100 employees, ensuring we have the right HR practices and strategies in place for the team is crucial. As we have expanded our internal HR capabilities, we have continued to work with the HRO Core team to support us.

Natasha Lavigne, Executive & Financial Administrator, Lydon Lynch Architects

I have worked with Bryan and the HRO Core team over the past 5 years at two different companies as Office Manager. I really appreciate the expertise and attentive services they bring to the table. They have done a great job in supporting both organizations as well as individual needs that may arise. They always work hard to make sure our health benefits meet all the needs of all our employees and are on the ball when we need support and advice. We look forward to working with them in the future with more services they have available.
