Outsourced HR Services for Canadian Small Business
Since 2006, many conversations with small businesses start the same way: HR has become too much. When HR isn’t anyone’s full-time job, the work and risk add up quickly. That’s when the right HR support makes a difference.
ConnectsUs HR provides HR services for Canadian small businesses, startups, and US companies with staff in Canada, supporting up to 100 non-unionized employees across BC, Alberta, and Ontario.
We bring decades of experience and practical tools to help you set up, maintain, or steady your HR. We’ve worked with hundreds of small businesses, with many clients staying with us long term.
CANADA HR SERVICES
Most small businesses start with HR basics, then add support or systems as they grow. We’ll meet you where you are and build from there.
HR Essentials
Contracts & Handbooks
Employment agreements and handbooks form the foundation of the employment relationship. When done properly, they set clear expectations, support management decisions, and materially reduce risk and termination costs.
HR Support
HR help on your terms
Flexible HR support without adding headcount. Fractional HR acting as your part-time HR department, on-call advisory support, and project-based work including recruiting and one-off initiatives.
HR Software
Move your HR online
Still managing HR through email and spreadsheets? We prepare your HR, streamline workflows, and transition everything into affordable HR software your team can actually use, starting at $10 per employee per month.
WHO WE ARE
Ariane Laird
CEO & Founder
Principal HR Consultant
Your work is led by Ariane Laird, Founder and Principal Consultant of ConnectsUs HR since 2006. She is a small business owner who has worked with over 100 small businesses and understands firsthand how HR works when it’s no one’s full-time job.
Ariane and her team approach HR as part of running a business, not as a separate corporate exercise. The focus is on getting the fundamentals right, making sound decisions, and reducing risk before issues escalate. Clients value the depth and accuracy of the work, close attention to outcomes, and a direct, approachable working style.
Our work has a strong legal track record, and many clients return year after year, with several having worked with us for more than a decade.
