HR Outsourcing for Startups & SMEs — your entire HR department, managed online
Outsourcing HR doesn't mean handing off one task. It means handing off the whole function — onboarding, policies, leave, payroll coordination, documentation and compliance — to a team that owns it end to end. HRTailor gives growing Indian companies a dedicated HR Manager, a pod of 5–6 HR Executives and a Cloud HRMS, for a fixed monthly price. No headcount. No surprise bills. Built for teams of 1 to 100.
How HR outsourcing works
A dedicated HR Manager is assigned to your company within a few days of signing. They take a handover of whatever HR exists — even if that's just a spreadsheet and a shared folder — and run it from there. Your Manager is backed by a pod of HR Executives who handle payroll inputs, compliance filings, documentation and employee queries, so nothing depends on a single person's availability. The Cloud HRMS goes live for your team at the same time. From day one, your employees have a proper HR contact, a portal to raise requests, and a company that handles HR properly. You retain full oversight — we run the day-to-day.
What you get every month.
Nine things you'd otherwise be stitching together yourself — run by one accountable team, inside one HRMS.
Dedicated HR support
One HR Manager owns your account as your single point of accountability, backed by a 5–6 person executive pod. You get a name and a number, not a ticket queue.
Employee onboarding
Joining kits, document collection, BGV coordination and HRMS setup, handled within 24 hours of a new hire saying yes.
HR policies
A handbook and policy framework (leave, attendance, IT use, code of conduct) written for your company and headcount, not a generic template.
Leave management
A clear leave policy plus live HRMS workflows for requests, approvals and balances.
Payroll coordination
Inputs, computation, payslips, TDS and full-and-final settlements, run through your HRMS every month. Coordinated as part of your managed HR function, not a separate product.
Employee documentation
Offer, appointment, increment, transfer and exit letters, plus statutory registers — drafted, version-controlled and audit-ready.
Compliance support
PF, ESIC and PT challans and filings, with a compliance calendar so deadlines never become penalties. See statutory compliance →
Grievance & Employee Relations
Grievance acknowledgement, formal resolution protocols and everyday employee relations — handled so issues are documented and resolved before they escalate.
Cloud HRMS Access (included)
A full cloud HRMS for your team — employee records, leave, attendance, payroll inputs, payslips and documents in one secure place. Included at no extra cost.
HR outsourcing for Indian startups and SMEs
Indian labour law adds a compliance layer that makes in-house HR harder to get right. PF registration, ESIC coverage, PT in each state your employees are in, LWF where applicable — and the filing deadlines that go with all of them. Most small HR teams miss at least one of these in the first year. When you outsource HR to HRTailor, statutory compliance is part of the package, not an add-on. Your outsourced HR team files challans, tracks changes in state-level PT slabs, and flags anything that affects your headcount — so your company stays clean without you having to follow it. This is why HR outsourcing works better for most Indian SMEs under 100 employees than building an in-house function from scratch.
Outsource your HR, or make your first HR hire?
Your first in-house HR Manager costs ₹8–15 LPA plus benefits — and you get a single generalist learning compliance on the job, who takes weeks to recruit and can’t scale without another hire. HRTailor gives you a pod of 5–6 HR specialists, built-in statutory compliance, and a team that’s live in 3 weeks — on a simple monthly subscription that scales with your headcount and carries zero compliance risk on your side.
How onboarding works (about 3 weeks).
From first call to first managed monthly cycle, with a clear handover at the end.
Discovery
Map your current HR setup, headcount, gaps and goals.
Setup
HRMS configured, policies drafted, employee data migrated.
Handover
Your HR Manager and pod take ownership — logins issued and a single point of contact.
Monthly run
Payroll, compliance, employee queries and documentation, every month.
Quarterly review
A report, refined policy and a plan for your next stage of growth.
What to look for in an HR outsourcing company in India
The right HR outsourcing company gives you a named HR Manager — not a helpdesk ticket and a rotating support pool. They have India-specific compliance depth, not generic HRIS software with a PF module bolted on. They price transparently, so you can plan costs as your headcount grows. And they give you real data — attendance, leave liability, headcount reports, compliance status — not a black box where you hand over HR and hope for the best. HRTailor's managed HR service is built around those four things: one Manager, one pod, one HRMS, all-in pricing from ₹10,000/month.
Transparent pricing.
No quotes, no haggling, no surprise invoices. Pricing scales with your team size and the support you need. Teams over ~100 people, or hiring across borders? See the note below.
Frequently asked questions.
The whole HR function for a 1–100-person company: a dedicated HR Manager and pod, onboarding, policies, leave, payroll coordination, documentation, compliance and performance support — inside a Cloud HRMS for a fixed monthly fee.
One in-house hire costs ₹50,000–₹80,000 a month and can only do so much at once. HRTailor gives you a manager plus a 5–6 person pod plus the HRMS — broader coverage and continuity, for a fraction of a single salary, with no headcount.
Transparent and fixed, from ₹10,000/month, scaling with team size. You see the number before you commit.
About three weeks: discovery, setup and handover, then your first managed monthly cycle.
Yes, both are included. Payroll is coordinated each month; PF/ESIC/PT challans and filings are handled with a compliance calendar.
Both are part of SKAD HR Group. HRTailor is the online, fixed-price HR department for startups and SMEs (1–100 people). TMS is the enterprise arm — large-scale workforce management, contract staffing and EOR for bigger or cross-border teams.
