“The solution that Astra HR provides works for us in three ways. First, it has helped us to build a competitive benefits package that will not only help increase employee retention but also entice new talent to our organization. Second, as regulations and compliance challenges are evolving at such a rapid pace, we have found it tedious and difficult to remain updated. We are confident knowing that Astra HR possesses the knowledge and experience that is necessary to understand and sidestep these complex issues. And third, we found that Astra HR’s services have strengthened our corporate communication, culture and values. We have come to rely extensively on our Astra HR service team.”

“Astra HR provides cFocus Software Incorporated Payroll, Benefits, HR and Recruiting services. I had to find three candidates within a one week timeframe for a new contract my company won with a government agency. I thought it would be impossible, but I called TalentPro, the Recruiting Division of Astra HR, to see what they can do for me. Amazingly, they identified 3 excellent candidates. I interviewed them, and hired them all within a week! I could not have done it without their help!”

Prior to working with Astra HR, I had considered HR outsourcing as only a way to process payroll. One thing that is essential as an employer is you don’t mess around with an employee’s money; having an on time and accurate paycheck is essential. The services of Astra HR have been more than just payroll processing, we have been pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the services of Astra HR are. Their capacities are extensive and their technology is sophisticated. We do a lot of government contracting which requires cost reimbursement and has an explicit submission process. Astra HR can supply us with support documentation that adheres to these detailed specifications; it is very clear and easy to follow. Astra HR is an advanced organization with technology that makes interfacing with our organization smooth. If there has ever been a problem, the staff is always able to find a solution. We have been able to rely on the people at Astra HR for so many of our concerns, they really get things done. They relieve a lot of our headaches and assume many of our risks. I can’t say enough about how satisfied we are as their client.

I began using the services of Astra HR in 1999 and have owned multiple businesses since then. I have used their services for all of these ventures and have recommended their services to at least twelve of the associate members in the Virginia Long Term Care Network for their business needs. The staff at Astra HR excellently handles the processes of tax filings, unemployment claims, workers’ compensation and human resources. We truly appreciate all that they do for us; they simplify or remove many complications of doing business.

Bridges couldn't be happier with the service we receive from Astra HR. We chose Astra HR because of the personalized service, industry-specific experts and customized business process solutions. After contracting with Astra HR, we quickly realized the value of having their HR experts at our disposal. We have been able to completely rely on Astra HR to keep up on the many changing employment rules and policies, so HR compliance is never an issue for us. Without the professionalism, guidance and expertise of the Astra HR team, we couldn’t have been as focused on the needs of our clients, and the succees of our Geriatric Care Management agency.
