What our customers say
North County HR stepped in when we lost our Director of HR unexpectedly. They quickly were up to speed, built rapport with our team, and helped us find a replacement. Some unexpected issues arose while they were in charge, and they also found some items that had been overlooked. Both were handled expertly and in a timely manner, and could have been hazardous for our business. We are happy to have North County HR available if we need them in the future.
-Martin J Wood, CEO, Delkin Devices, Inc.
North County HR understands the complexities of the business and how to balance the resources of the company with the needs of complying with the law, and yet still creating an environment that is supportive of the employees. Without their involvement we would have missed so many opportunities to be an employer where people wanted to stay and make their future.
- Dean Harriman, Senior Finance Director, Cliniqa
I am so happy to have partnered with North County HR. I will happily refer you to every small business I come across.
- Lara Hickox, Impact Design.
North County HR has been helping us with many projects related to starting a new veterinary hospital. Regardless of the task, Laura is extremely efficient and her work is of the highest quality. She would be an asset to any team.
- Dr. Sunshine Riehl, Advanced Veterinary Care of San Elijo
I have had the privilege of working with Laura Henderson for three years. During my tenure as Vice President of Operations at Delkin Devices, Laura and I developed a professional partnership that existed because of a deep level of trust and respect. Laura’s follow-through and professionalism are two of many attributes that make her a great part of any management team. I strongly recommend North County HR as a professional partner.
