“We knew we were going to be a fast-growing company—at least we hoped we were,” Griver said. “What we didn’t have time to deal with was HR, especially as we grew from one person to 50, then 100. We needed someone to manage the strategic and day-to-day aspects of HR on a fractional basis.”
Managing HR isn’t easy, especially when hiring across multiple states, navigating complex compliance rules and maintaining a great employee experience (EX). CODE Staffing needed the right combination of technology and support to support their growth every step of the way.
The Right Partner for Growth
CODE Staffing started working with isolved in 2022 to streamline payroll processing (Payroll), gain expert HR guidance and automate workflows (HR), simplify onboarding (Onboard & Develop) and give employees easy access to self-service tools (Adaptive Employee Experience).
“Over time, we’ve added a number of services,” Griver said. “isolved has helped us with compliance, creating our corporate handbook, and tackling strategic projects like understanding salary trends across different regions and structuring our salary bands and compensation programs.”
For a company hiring nationwide, staying compliant across multiple states can be complex. As the company grew, they turned to isolved for COBRA administration, Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance support, and e-Verify I-9 to keep up with regulations and ensure a smooth EX.
“Whenever we enter a new state, it’s as simple as calling isolved,” Griver said. “They guide us through compliance requirements, handle a lot of the work for us, clearly explain what they can’t handle and let us know exactly what to do.”
The results speak for themselves.
“isolved has allowed us to grow at our own rapid pace. In just 18 months, we’ve gone from one employee to over 100 without hiring an HR team. It’s not just about saving money; it’s about the hours we’ve gained and the confidence of knowing there’s an expert on the other end to guide us through every challenge. That’s been a huge win for us.”
Delivering a Seamless EX
By leaning on isolved’s enterprise-grade software and expert support, CODE Staffing grew from a small team to over 100 employees—without the need for an in-house HR department. With isolved handling payroll, onboarding, compliance and HR, they eliminated manual tasks, stayed ahead of regulations and scaled with more confidence.
By integrating benefits into onboarding and payroll, isolved made it easy for new hires to enroll in benefits while reducing manual work for CODE Staffing (Benefit Services). With the administrative burden lifted, Griver worked closely with their benefits advisor to make offerings more strategic and meaningful—a key factor in setting the company apart from competitors.
A Partner Worth Recommending
Griver's experience with isolved has been so positive that he’s already recommended them to other business leaders. “isolved is a great partner,” he said. “Their holistic capabilities support every stage of the employee journey, from recruitment to retention, and I think many companies could benefit from what they offer.”
Looking ahead, CODE Staffing plans to continue their partnership with isolved on key initiatives.
“We rely on isolved for a wide range of support and are in touch with them regularly,” Griversaid. “Whether it’s expanding into new states, handling compliance questions or addressing forms and documentation, isolved is there to help.”
