Payroll & HR Services
Payroll & HR Services Built for Law Firms
Professional payroll, compliance, and HR support for small and mid-sized law firms— without the overhead of building it internally.
What We Do
Mission Recruiting provides payroll and HR services designed specifically for the realities of small and mid-sized law firms.
We help firms move away from fragmented, informal people management and toward consistent, compliant, and well-supported operations. Our model combines payroll administration, HR compliance, onboarding support, and ongoing advisory guidance under a single point of accountability.
Clients work with Mission Recruiting as their HR partner—not a disconnected mix of software vendors, accountants, and consultants.
When Payroll & HR Services Makes Sense
Firms typically engage us when:
- Payroll and HR are handled informally or inconsistently
- Partners or office managers are overwhelmed by people issues
- Onboarding feels slow, disorganized, or error-prone
- Compliance concerns are growing but unclear
- Employee questions and issues consume leadership time
- Hiring outcomes suffer due to downstream HR breakdowns
Payroll & HR Services are often the right step when growth outpaces infrastructure.

This model emphasizes:
- Consistency
- Responsiveness
- Clear ownership
- Reduced administrative burden for firm leadership
Our goal is not just to run payroll, but to support stable, compliant, and well-functioning teams.
