HR squeezed in between everything else

In a small company, HR is rarely anyone's only job, and the same things go wrong with every hire.

HR is a side job

The person doing HR also runs sales, the office or the whole company. Anything that takes a day to set up doesn't get set up.

Every hire starts from scratch

The steps live in someone's head, so each new person gets a slightly different start and something gets missed.

No paper trail when it matters

When you need to show that someone signed a policy or finished a training, there is nothing to point to.

Set up HR in an afternoon, then hand it off

Build each role's plan once, and your office manager runs it from there.

  1. 1Fill in your company profileYour state, industry and size shape the AI suggestions and the checks before launch.
  2. 2Give your office manager the HR roleThey run onboarding, documents and training day to day. Billing and roles stay with you.
  3. 3Launch each role's planStart from a template. New hires sign, train and finish tasks from one email.

From signed offer to trained employee, in one plan

One plan takes a new server from the signed offer to the 30-day check-in: the handbook and the safety course before the first shift, the floor and the menu in week one.

Federal duties that switch on as you grow

Some rules start with your first hire, others with your headcount. Your state adds its own: pick it on the map.

A note from the founder
You do HR in the gaps, between customers and invoices. So every new hire gets a slightly different start, depending on how busy you were that week, and something always slips: the handbook nobody signed, the training nobody finished. I ran my own company like that for too long, and I paid for it with every hire. Set it up once in FirstHR: a plan for each role, and new hires sign and train from one email. The next one starts from the plan, not from whatever you remember that day.
