“We believe the HR function is a critical element for all businesses-alike, and particularly so for a small business. As our economy continues to expand in the services sector, human capital represents a progressively significant contributing factor in a company’s growth and its probability for future success – thereby, boosting an organization’s marketing strategy effectiveness, competitive positioning and means of competitive differentiation, ongoing.

Karen Hopkins and her team are undoubtedly our most valuable outsourced resource. The Focal Impact, LLC staffing strategy is predicated on attracting and retaining well-skilled, top-tier talent in a high-growth, ever-changing and abundant opportunities industry – our ability to attract initially those qualified candidates is a critically important responsibility. Karen Hopkins is, and is universally perceived as, the consummate HR professional and an impressively savvy overall HR expert.

Her capabilities, combined with her exceptional understanding of HR trends and her trusted personal network, have generated exceptional efficiency and bestow an unmatched quality component into Focal Impact’s overall hiring process/procedures. Hence, her guidance and involvement have elevated our firm’s credibility and attractiveness to a candidate, which is an enormous benefit and imparts tremendous value to our firm – and thus represents a competitive-advantage.

I fully expect Karen and her staff to be closely involved in our HR business function for many years to come. I recommend her to any company looking to step-up the HR expectation of attracting key-talent, and hence boosting the company’s future bottom-line and bolstering its prospects for long-term existence, not to mention LT growth.”

The Hopkins Group was recommended to me by our benefits broker and from that recommendation we developed a valuable relationship with a very capable Human Resources consulting group. Our experience began with a need for a Payroll Administrator while an employee was on a FMLA. After that, The Hopkins Group updated the Employee Handbook, job descriptions, and developed a policy and procedures manual. Their work product is compliant, professional, and on time. I would recommend them to others and I would engage their services again.

As a start-up company where resources are critical, outsourcing has been the answer for us and especially so with Human Resources. In our warp speed asset based lending environment, Juanita has worked closely with me in establishing our HR policies and procedures and developing effective communications to our employees. She has been instrumental in a number of other key areas such as assisting in hiring our executive and professional team, and working with outside vendors to establish our highly competitive benefits programs. She has truly helped lay the foundation that will keep our employees engaged so we can provide impeccable service to our clients.

Heritage Health Solutions, LP retained the services of The Hopkins Group in Autumn 2007.  Our company, providing health care services to federal government agencies by means of being awarded competed contracts, required the services of an extremely knowledgeable Human Resources firm.  As a federal contractor, we cannot cut corners, and must and will be in full compliance of all state and federal laws and statutes.  The Hopkins Group understands the law (federal and state as we have staff in five states) , fundamental requirements, and incorporates this knowledge in working with company executives to develop comprehensive policies and procedures, along with an employee handbook.  Their counsel in general, as well as associate specific, has been spot-on, timely and defendable. Our company has grown since retaining them from two associates to 15.  They manage all aspects of our hiring process, from advertisements, to interviews, to employee indoctrination.  Our management and staff are completely satisfied with their knowledge, professionalism, and ability to manage delicate issues.  They are and will remain our Human Resources partner regardless the size our company grows.
