What is HR Tactics Off-site HR Management?
It’s the same as having an in house HR Manager without all the major commitments and costs… but off-site.
Hiring an in-house HR Manager can cost anywhere from $100,000 to $160,000 per year, plus superannuation, leave loading, recruitment costs and ongoing employment overheads.
For many growing businesses, that level of commitment isn’t yet practical! BUT the risk of operating without professional HR support is even greater.
That’s where your Outsourced HR Tactics Off Site HR Manager steps in.

Jean-Francois TixerontTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Jackie from HR Tactics, a HR Consultants firm in Brisbane, helped me with a HR issue - her assistance was incredibly helpful - she was extremely responsive to my initial outreach, was able to provide just the right level of empathy, clear thinking and appropriate action to suit the situation. Jackie supported me all the way through to a successful resolution and her advice was spot on. It was an incredible relief to have her on my side and gave me the peace of mind to navigate what was a stressful situation. I highly recommend Jackie and her team for any HR issue - she is truly an expert in all aspects of employment contracts and HR procedures, is responsive and professional, while demonstrating empathy at all times - and I speak from experience, having hired, trained, managed (and also "let go" of some) many employees through the course of my career. Thank you Jackie and the HR Tactics team!![]()

What can I say….Our HR Tactics Off-Site HR Manager brought a fantastic skillset into our business. We liked to think we could do it all, but after some months with HR Tactics at the helm , assisting us in our compliance, and hiring, its pretty clear HR Tactics will always have a role with us. Many thanks to Jackie and her team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our Off-Site HR Management service.
1. What is Off-Site HR Management?
Outsourced Off-Site HR Management gives your business access to senior HR expertise without hiring a full-time HR Manager.
We operate as an extension of your leadership team, supporting you strategically and operationally, while remaining flexible and cost-effective.
8. What types of businesses is this best suited for?
Off-Site HR is ideal for:
- Startups - Get the foundations right from day one — contracts, policies, key HR processes and advice that scale with you.
- Executing your growth strategy - Structured, ordered, compliant HR practices that keep pace as your headcount and complexity grow. Ideal if you're not ready to hire in a full-time HR Manager or want the cost savings and flexibility of outsourcing.
- Preparing to Sell - Clean up HR risk and compliance so your business is ready for due diligence.
- You're an overseas based company wanting to start an office in Australia and need the essentials to get started.
Maybe you're experiencing people-related challenges and don't have the capacity or HR expertise to manage these yourself.
Essentially any organisation wanting proactive HR, not reactive crisis management
2. How is this different from hiring an in-house HR Manager?
Hiring a senior HR Manager can cost $150,000–$160,000+ per year once you include salary, superannuation, leave, recruitment and overheads.
With Off-Site HR, you:
Only pay for the hours you need
Avoid long-term employment contracts
Gain access to a broader team of HR specialists
Scale support up or down as your business changes
You get senior expertise without the fixed overhead.
3. Are we locked into a long-term contract?
No.
We do not operate on restrictive lock-in contracts. We believe our value should speak for itself.
We work with you on an agreed structure that suits your business needs, with flexibility built in.
4. How many hours can we use per week?
As many or as few as you need.
Some clients require a few hours per week for advisory and compliance support. Others need more embedded involvement across performance management, leadership coaching, recruitment and strategic planning.
We tailor the level of support to your stage of growth and current challenges.
5. Are you available during business hours?
Yes.
We are available Monday to Friday during standard business hours. We operate as your HR function during that time and can respond to urgent matters as they arise. Some of our clients even set us up with a business HR email address so employees can contact us as well.
6. Can you support complex employee issues?
Absolutely.
We regularly assist with:
Performance management
Investigations
Terminations and redundancies
Compliance with Fair Work obligations
Workplace conflict
Policy development
Leadership and management training
WHS
We focus on protecting your business while maintaining strong workplace culture.
7. Will you understand our business and culture?
Yes.
We take the time to understand your operations, leadership style, risk profile and growth goals. Off-Site HR is not transactional support. It is partnership-based support.
Our role is to embed into your business and provide advice aligned with your commercial objectives.
9. Is this only for businesses with issues?
Not at all.
The strongest businesses outsource to one of our Off-Site HR Managers to prevent issues before they occur. We focus on structure, clarity, leadership capability and compliance - so you avoid costly problems down the track.
10. What happens if our needs change?
That is exactly why this model works.
We can scale up during periods of growth, restructure or complexity, and scale back when things are steady. You are not paying a fixed salary regardless of demand.
11. Do you only work remote? Or, can you come on site?
We service clients all around Australia. Predominately this is done remote - over phone, zoom, text and email. However, if the need arises, yes we can attend site.
