What is our Edge on the Competition?
We are one of the very few T.E.S. (Temporary Employment Services) or labour hire companies which specializes in Human Resources and have the expertise to deal with all types of labour issues. This is particularly important if you plan to outsource your labour, not only to escape legal liabilities, but also not to be bothered by labour issues and to concentrate on your main line of business.
This is why HR City has the advantage:

- We have highly trained and specialized staff who not only take care of the payroll administration, but also all the financial and legal requirements. The same applies to training and placements, we do it OURSELVES – PROFESSIONALLY!
- If you currently are considering outsourcing your labour, can your service provider guarantee you peace of mind and professionally take care of all the above?

Why should you consider outsourcing your Labour?
Employment-related issues often require substantial managerial time. However, in smaller to medium sized firms, a managers time is a limited resource that must be used wisely. Labour Hire companies free up key managers so that they can focus on more revenue-producing activities, rather than employment-related rules, regulations and paperwork. To spend up to one quarter of one’s time on employment related issues is indeed a waste of precious, expensive, scarce resources.
The increase in legal requirements is a pivotal reason why small to medium sized companies decided to outsource their labour and HR functions.
Labour Hire is used successfully by companies which do not have the expertise to deal with unions, strikes, unfair dismissal cases, annual wage negotiations or discipline in the workplace and have reduced their Human Resource costs and risks whilst improving employee relations and production in general. Our clients have gained a competitive advantage by now being able to focus on their core business.
