Horizons® Bulgaria · HR Manager® as a Service
Your HR Function, On Demand
HR Manager® provides outsourced HR management for organisations that do not need a full-time internal specialist, or additional expertise and delivery capacity for an existing HR team. The service combines ongoing advisory, specialist support and access to the wider Horizons network through one coordinated relationship.
