F.H. Black & Company Human Resources Inc.

The HR department you need,
without the full-time headcount.

From finding the right people to managing the hard conversations, we handle the HR challenges that keep business owners up at night.

Think of us as your outsourced HR team—on call when you need us, out of your way when you don’t.

Find the right people. Pay less to do it.

Bad hires are expensive.

Not just the termination and re-hiring costs—the lost productivity, the team morale hit, the three months you spent training someone who wasn’t right from the start. We’ve placed over one thousand candidates across every level, from junior roles to executive positions.

And we provide a high level of service for a lower fee than industry standard.

Why Our
Placements Stick

Most recruiting firms blast job postings and send you a stack of resumes.

We actually get to know your business first—your culture, your team dynamics, what’s worked before and what hasn’t. Then we go find people who fit, not just candidates who look good on paper.

We’ll create or update your job description. Source candidates you didn’t know existed, create custom tests, and even check out their social media feed.

We bring you the candidates who are actually worth your time.

Executive & Leadership Recruitment

CEOs, CFOs, Directors, senior managers—the hires that shape your company's future. We take these searches seriously because we know what's at stake.

Professional & Technical Roles

Accountants, engineers, project managers, specialists. The professionals who keep your operations running and your clients happy.

Entry Level Employees

Administrative, customer service, junior positions. High volume doesn't mean low standards—we screen thoroughly at every level.

Traditional recruiters charge thirty percent
of first-year salary.

We believe you shouldn't have to choose between great talent and a reasonable fee.
Ask us about our fees—it's one of the first things clients notice.

HR Consulting

On-call expertise for the moments that matter.

You don’t need a full-time HR director.

But you do need someone to call when an employee situation gets complicated, when you’re planning a restructure, or when you’re trying to figure out if your compensation is competitive.

That’s where we come in. We act as an extension of your leadership team—available when you need strategic guidance or just a second opinion from someone who’s seen it before.

WHAT WE DO

Strategic HR Planning

Workforce planning, organizational design, succession planning. We help you think beyond next month.

Workplace
Culture

Culture doesn’t happen by accident. We help you define what you want your workplace to feel like—and build the systems that make it real.

Compensation Benchmarking

Are you paying competitively? Are your benefits actually valued by employees? We help you answer those questions with data, not guesswork.

Day-to-Day HR Support

Questions come up. Situations get weird. We’re a phone call away when you need to think through how to handle something.

Policy Development

Clear expectations. Fewer surprises.

That employee handbook you copied from a template ten years ago? 

It’s probably not protecting you the way you think it is. 

Policies aren’t bureaucratic paperwork—they’re the foundation for how you manage people, handle disputes, and stay compliant.

We build custom documentation that fits how your business actually operates, written in language humans can understand.

WHAT WE CREATE

Employee Handbooks

Comprehensive, compliant, and actually readable. We cover everything from attendance policies to social media guidelines to remote work expectations.

Employee Agreements

Offer letters, contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-competes (where enforceable). Clear terms from day one protect everyone.

Workplace
Policies

Harassment prevention, health and safety, expense reimbursement, disciplinary procedures. Whatever your business needs, tailored to your context.

Policy Reviews
& Updates

Already have policies? We’ll audit what you’ve got, flag the gaps and risks, and bring everything up to current standards.

Compliance & Risk

Stay on the right side of employment law.

Employment regulations change constantly. 

What was fine two years ago might be a liability today. And when you’re running a business, keeping up with every legislative update isn’t realistic.

We stay current so you don’t have to. We audit your practices, flag risks before they become problems, and make sure you’re meeting your obligations as an employer.

WHAT WE COVER

Employment Standards Compliance

Hours of work, overtime, vacation entitlements, statutory holidays, termination requirements. The basics that trip up more businesses than you’d think.

Health &
Safety

Workplace safety policies, incident documentation, compliance with occupational health regulations.

Labour
Relations

For businesses with unionized workforces: 

Collective bargaining support, grievance management, CBA interpretation, and ongoing labour relations advisory.

HR
Audits

A comprehensive review of your current practices, documentation, and compliance status. 

We tell you what’s working, what’s risky, and what needs to change.

Employee Relations

The hard conversations, handled right.

Managing people is messy. 

Performance issues, interpersonal conflicts, complaints, terminations—these situations are stressful, high-stakes, and easy to get wrong. Having an experienced HR partner in your corner makes a real difference.

 

We help you navigate difficult employee situations with professionalism, fairness, and legal compliance.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

Performance Management

Forget the annual review that nobody takes seriously. We help you build performance systems that actually drive improvement—clear expectations, regular feedback, documented conversations, and real accountability.

Conflict
Resolution

Workplace conflicts don’t resolve themselves. We mediate disputes, facilitate difficult conversations, and help teams get back to functional.

Workplace Investigations

Harassment complaints, misconduct allegations, policy violations. We conduct thorough, impartial investigations and provide clear recommendations.

Terminations

Letting someone go is never easy. We help you do it right—with proper documentation, legal compliance, and sensitivity. We can be in the room with you or handle the conversation directly.

HR Infrastructure

Build systems that let you scale.

When you’re growing, things that used to be informal need to become structured.

 Onboarding a new hire shouldn’t be chaos. Payroll shouldn’t be a scramble. Benefits shouldn’t be a mystery to your employees. We help you build the operational backbone your team needs.

WHAT WE BUILD

Employee
Onboarding

First impressions matter. We design onboarding programs that get new hires productive faster and make them feel like they made the right choice joining your team.

Compensation & Benefits Design

Salary structures, bonus programs, benefits packages. We help you design total rewards that attract talent you want and retain the people you can’t afford to lose.

HRIS Implementation

Spreadsheets stop working at a certain scale. We help you select and implement HR information systems that centralize employee data, automate workflows, and give you visibility into your workforce.

HR Process
Design

Job descriptions, org charts, approval workflows, documentation standards. The unsexy stuff that makes everything else run smoothly.

Not sure
where to start?

Most clients begin with a conversation.

We'll learn about your business, understand what's keeping you up at night, and tell you honestly whether we can help.
