Do you meet with clients in person in Fort Worth?

Yes, when it helps. John is based in Waxahachie and travels to Fort Worth and the rest of Tarrant County for meetings, site walks, and sensitive conversations. Most ongoing work happens by phone, video, and email, with a same-business-day reply.

What kinds of Fort Worth businesses do you work with?

Owner-led companies with about 20 to 80 employees and no full-time HR person. That often includes construction, the trades, logistics, and professional services, but the common thread is an owner who is tired of being the HR department.

Can you help with one problem, like a difficult employee situation?

Yes. You can bring in Quick HR Solutions for a single issue, such as a conflict between employees, a complaint that needs a fair review, or a termination you want to handle correctly. Project work can be billed hourly, with no ongoing commitment.

How is an HR consultant different from a payroll company?

A payroll company makes sure people get paid. An HR consultant helps with everything around that: hiring, handbooks, pay decisions, employee relations, and compliance. Many Fort Worth owners keep their payroll provider and use an HR consultant for the people side.

Can you tell me whether my workers should be contractors or employees?

John can review how each role actually works, explain the factors that matter, and flag where the risk is. For a formal determination or a situation with legal exposure, he will recommend bringing in your CPA or an employment attorney and will work alongside them.

HR consultant Fort Worth, TX

An HR consultant for Fort Worth businesses that still know every name

For small to mid-market companies, about 15 to 80 people. I’m based in Waxahachie and meet around Dallas–Fort Worth when it helps. The same senior HR is available by phone and video anywhere in the US. Remote HR support.

If you run a company in Fort Worth or anywhere in Tarrant County, there is a good chance you are also its HR department. You do the hiring, you field the complaints, you decide what goes in the handbook, and you look up the Texas rules at night. That works for a while. Somewhere around 20 employees, it starts to cost you time, money, and sleep.

I'm John Singleton, SHRM-CP, the HR consultant behind Quick HR Solutions. I have spent more than 16 years in senior HR, leading multi-state, multi-site HR at companies like TCS, Coforge, and Mastek. Now I work directly with owners of businesses with about 20 to 80 employees who don't have a full-time HR person. You work with me, not a rotating team.

HR consulting in Fort Worth, straight and practical

A lot of Fort Worth businesses are owner-run and plain-spoken, and good HR advice should be too. You won't get a binder of corporate best practices from me. You'll get a clear read on the situation, an honest sense of the real risk, and the two or three things worth doing first.

I work with owners across Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, Burleson, and the rest of the west side of the Metroplex. I'm based in Waxahachie, and I'll drive over when sitting across the table or walking the shop floor will help. Everything else happens by phone, video, and email, with a reply the same business day.

Where Fort Worth owners usually need help

Every business is different, but a few situations come up again and again in companies that build, move, make, and fix things, from the trades and construction to distribution work up near Alliance.

When your best crew lead becomes a supervisor

Your strongest technician or crew lead gets promoted, and suddenly they are managing their friends. Nobody showed them how to give feedback, write down a problem, or handle a complaint. I help set clear expectations for new supervisors, give them a few simple tools, and make sure they know when to pick up the phone before a small issue becomes a big one.

Employee or contractor?

In trades and construction especially, it is common to have people paid on a 1099 who work a lot like employees. That question matters for taxes, overtime, and workers' compensation. I'll help you look at how each role actually works, sort out where the risk is, and tell you plainly when it's time to bring in your CPA or an attorney. If you want the background first, I wrote about employees vs. independent contractors in Texas.

Overtime, salaried roles, and pay

Paying someone a salary does not automatically make them exempt from overtime. I help owners figure out which roles are truly exempt, which should be hourly, and how to build simple pay ranges so raises stop being a fresh negotiation every time someone asks.

A handbook people will actually read

Many small company handbooks were borrowed from somebody else or written for a corporate office. Yours should reflect how your business really runs, cover Texas and federal requirements, and be short enough that a new hire reads it. I'll write it with you, in your voice.

Hiring and onboarding that holds up

When hiring gets busy, the paperwork slips. I-9s get finished late, the Texas new-hire report to the Attorney General misses its 20-day window, and offer letters don't say what you meant. I help put a simple, repeatable process in place so none of that depends on someone's memory.

How we would work together

It starts with a free 15-minute call. You tell me what's going on, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help and what I would do first.

From there, you choose. Some Fort Worth owners want a one-time project: a handbook, a pay structure, a cleanup of hiring paperwork, or help with one difficult employee situation. Others want ongoing fractional support, meaning a set number of hours each month for questions, documents, and hard conversations. Ongoing plans are month-to-month, and pricing is posted on the site.

One more thing worth saying plainly: I'm not an attorney, and what I provide is practical HR, not legal advice. When a situation calls for a legal opinion, I'll tell you, and I'm glad to work alongside your employment attorney.
