Part A

HR outsourcing offers real benefits

$$Today my company has $47$ employees and enjoys a great relationship with CBR$,$ our HR outsourcing firm. They have offered us increasing specialisation in HR functions as the business has grown. I don$$t worry about HR details; I just focus on targeting new markets and segments. Employee administration is truly the least of my worries each day. New job applicants think we are a much bigger company than we are because of the professional recruitment services CBR offers. They also look after all legal compliance issues.$$
