Hire an HRMS expert to run Zoho People, Payroll and Recruit

Leave tracked in a spreadsheet, offer letters sent from somebody’s inbox, and a timesheet export that needs an afternoon of fixing before every payday.

Our HRMS experts set up and look after Zoho People, Zoho Payroll and Zoho Recruit for US employers: leave and attendance, shift rosters, onboarding, reviews, hiring pipelines and the pay setup for each state you employ people in. Help on one Zoho product starts from $300* a month, and your expert can begin 2 to 3 working days after signing.

01Four HR setups we meet most

Which HR setup sounds like yours?

Most HR teams that call us fit one of four pictures. Walk down the street to find yours and see where an HRMS expert would begin.

01 · Hiring every month

Hiring faster than HR can keep up?

Then your expert starts in Zoho Recruit and the hand-off to Zoho People, so a signed offer turns into an employee record without anyone retyping it.

  • Openings published to your careers page from one screen
  • Interview stages and a scorecard each hiring manager fills in
  • Offer letter templates that need approval before they leave
  • An employee record and onboarding list created on acceptance

02 · Shift and hourly teams

Running shifts on one site or several?

Here the work is rosters, clock-ins and timesheets in Zoho People that payroll can accept without a line-by-line check.

  • Shift templates by site, role and department
  • Swap requests a shift lead approves from a phone
  • Clock-ins from phones or a kiosk, with location where you allow it
  • Approved timesheets passed on to the pay run

03 · Staff in several states

Paying people in more than one state?

Your expert sets each state up as its own work location in Zoho Payroll and applies leave rules by location in Zoho People. Your accountant or payroll advisor confirms the registrations and rates.

  • Work locations and pay schedules for every state
  • State tax account numbers stored as records you supply
  • Holiday calendars and leave policies by location
  • Each pay run posted to Zoho Books for your bookkeeper

04 · Leaving BambooHR or Gusto

Switching HR or payroll systems this year?

The expert runs the move on our migration track: fields mapped, a stopper date agreed, sample records checked by HR, and the old tool set to read-only once you sign off.

  • Employee profiles, documents and time-off balances from BambooHR
  • Year-to-date pay, taxes and deductions from Gusto
  • A signed-off sample before the full load runs
  • Short training on the new screens for HR and managers

02The work itself

What does an HRMS expert set up and look after?

Everything between a job opening and a year-end form, inside the Zoho HR apps you already license. Each card is a piece of work your expert can own from week one.

  • Zoho People

    Employee records and structure

    Departments, locations, reporting lines and custom fields that match how your company really works, with access set by role.

  • Zoho People

    Leave and attendance

    Accrual rules, carry-over, holiday calendars and approval chains, plus check-in from the web, a phone or a shared kiosk.

  • Zoho People

    Shift scheduling

    Rosters by site or role, rotation patterns and swap approvals, so next week’s coverage is visible well before Monday.

  • Zoho People

    Onboarding and exits

    Task lists for HR, IT and the manager, document collection with e-signatures, and an exit list that recovers laptops and logins.

  • Zoho People

    Performance and goals

    Review cycles, goals, 360 feedback and gentle reminders, so appraisals stop piling up in the final week of the quarter.

  • Zoho Recruit

    Hiring pipeline

    Openings, a careers page, interview stages, scorecards and offer letters, with accepted candidates passed straight to Zoho People.

  • Zoho Payroll

    US payroll setup

    Pay schedules, work locations, earnings and deduction types, benefits entered as payroll items, and pay runs posted to Zoho Books.

  • Portal and reports

    Self-service and HR reports

    An employee portal for leave, payslips and documents, and dashboards for headcount, turnover and absence trends.

Where the line sits. Your expert configures the policies and rules you decide. Employment law, tax rates and benefit choices stay with your HR advisor, accountant or attorney, because we set up systems and do not give legal or tax advice. Product detail lives on the Zoho People, Zoho Payroll and Zoho HR and payroll bundle pages.

03Try it · tick what you want handled

Which Zoho HR apps would your tasks land in?

Tick the HR jobs you would like off your plate and say where your staff are paid. Each task drops into the app that handles it, and the panel shows the plan shape that fits.

      04Four ways to work, one starting price

      How much does it cost to hire an HRMS expert?

      Help on a single Zoho product, for example Zoho People alone, starts from $300* a month. When your plan spans People, Payroll and Recruit together, we quote it as one plan.

      1. Monthly retainerYour expert keeps policies, workflows and reports current and clears a monthly list of HR requests.
      2. Dedicated teamHR systems consultants, developers and a trainer assigned to your rollout, with the mix of roles settled at signing.
      3. Per-projectOne defined job, such as a Zoho People rollout or a payroll setup, priced once in a signed BRD.
      4. On-demand hoursExtra hands around open enrollment, a review cycle or year end, billed only for the hours used.

      05From first call to first fix

      How do you start with an HRMS expert?

      Five stops: a call, a proposal by email, a contract, your expert working 2 to 3 working days after signing, then regular check-ins.

      1. 1

        A 30-minute call that costs nothing

        Tell us which HR jobs eat your week and which Zoho apps you already pay for. Only this first call is free; deeper scoping can be paid work.

      2. 2

        The proposal arrives by email

        It sets out which engagement model fits, how many hours a month, who sits on your plan and how quickly we reply, all shaped around your HR calendar.

      3. 3

        You sign, monthly or longer

        Month to month works well. Choose a longer term if you like; the contract explains how the plan scales up, scales down or ends.

      4. 4

        Your expert gets to work

        Within 2 to 3 working days of signing: admin access, a walk through your current policies and a ranked fix list, led by whatever hurts most on payday or leave approval.

      5. 5

        Check-ins keep the list moving

        Regular reviews of what changed, what employees asked HR about and what comes next, with review season and year end planned ahead.

      06Switching systems

      Moving off BambooHR or Gusto at the same time?

      Your HRMS expert can run the move inside your plan or as a per-project job. Every move follows our 15-step migration track, with a stopper date, a signed-off sample and the old tool kept read-only after cutover.

      Another HR tool? The Switch to Zoho hub lists every published route, and the migration track explains each of the 15 steps.

      07Specialist, with a team behind

      Why hire an HRMS specialist rather than a general Zoho admin?

      HR systems run on dates that cannot slip, such as payday, review season and year end, and on data employees care about personally. A specialist knows where those setups usually go wrong.

      Elite Tech Global opened in Glendale in 2025 and is led from there by co-founders Ikramul Karim (CEO) and Khris Kakosimidi (CFO). The wider team of 40+ has delivered 300+ projects and 100+ integrations, so your HR data can reach CRM, finance and reporting cleanly when you need it to.

      08Before you hire

      Questions about hiring an HRMS expert

      Apps, cost, states, switching and who sees salary data. Bring your current leave policy and an org chart to the first call and we can be specific.

      What does an HRMS expert do?

      An HRMS expert sets up and maintains the systems your HR team runs on. With us that means Zoho People for records, leave, attendance, shifts, onboarding and reviews, Zoho Recruit for hiring, and Zoho Payroll for US pay setup, plus the workflows, permissions and reports that connect them.

      Which Zoho HR apps does the expert cover?

      Zoho People, Zoho Payroll and Zoho Recruit are the core, with Zoho Sign for offer letters and policy sign-offs, Zoho Books for posting pay runs, and Zoho Analytics when leadership wants deeper workforce reporting. Your plan covers whichever of these you use.

      How much does it cost to hire an HRMS expert?

      Help on one Zoho product, such as Zoho People, starts from $300 a month. Work across several Zoho HR apps, or a bigger scope, gets a quoted plan, and a one-off rollout can be priced once in a signed BRD. Zoho invoices its licences directly.

      Can you set up payroll for employees in several states?

      Yes, as setup work. Your expert creates a work location and pay schedule for each state, enters the state tax account numbers you provide and applies leave rules by location. Multi-state payroll sits on the Zoho Payroll Professional plan. We do not give tax or legal advice, so your accountant or payroll advisor confirms rates, registrations and rules.

      How is this different from your Zoho People implementation page?

      The Zoho People page covers the product and a one-time implementation project. This page is for ongoing help: an expert on a monthly retainer, a dedicated team, on-demand hours or a single project, looking after People, Payroll and Recruit as your company changes.

      Can the expert move us off BambooHR or Gusto?

      Yes. BambooHR moves to Zoho People and Gusto moves to Zoho Payroll on our 15-step migration track, with a stopper date, a signed-off sample and the old tool kept read-only after cutover. Each route has its own page with the details.

      How quickly can an HRMS expert start?

      Your expert begins 2 to 3 working days after the contract is signed, and spends those first days on admin access, a tour of your current HR policies and a ranked fix list.

      Who can see salary and personal data while the expert works?

      Only the people your permissions allow. Your expert works with the admin roles you grant, sets up role-based access so managers see their own teams and payroll admins see pay, and you can remove the expert’s access at any time.

      Which hours does the expert work?

      Coverage spans US Pacific and CET time zones. Your proposal email states the hours on your plan and how fast we reply to requests.

      09The first weeks

      What does your HRMS expert do first?

      These four, in this order, before any policy or pay setting changes.

      Sessions run over video whether your HR team sits in Phoenix, Vancouver or Bogotá. HR leaders near Los Angeles can also map the setup with us in person in Glendale.

      1. Access and a policy walk-throughYour HR lead shows how leave, onboarding and pay inputs work today
      2. Data health checkMissing managers, duplicate profiles and stale leave balances listed
      3. One fix liveThe most painful item rebuilt, tested on a few profiles, then switched on
      4. Review and next list OngoingWhat changed for employees and which HR job comes next
