Who we work for
HR outsourcing that fits your company
We support companies that want to outsource their HR work, assist existing HR departments, and take over HR where there is no HR team yet. We know hospitality particularly well, as well as companies that use Personio or want to introduce it. We work remotely for clients across Germany, and on site when needed.
1 : 76
That is how many employees one full-time HR person looks after in Germany on average. A dedicated HR position often only pays off from around 75 employees.
42 %
of their working time is spent on administration by HR managers in mid-sized companies. 89 % say this is too much.
8 %
of HR departments in German mid-sized companies are largely digitalised. This is exactly where Personio comes in.

Personally there for you
Your contact: Dirk Haupt

After 15 years of HR management in hospitality, I know how much energy day-to-day HR administration takes. Most recently, as Director of People & Culture and authorised signatory, I supported a company’s growth from 150 to 700 employees and fully digitalised its HR with Personio.
With rio·hr solutions, I want to take exactly that off your plate: reliably, without fuss, and with one dedicated contact who knows your company.
