HR & Workforce Outsourcing | Recruitment, Payroll & HR Management

Every growing business reaches a point where managing people becomes its own full-time job. Payroll has to go out correctly and on time. Pension and tax remittances have to be filed without error. New hires need onboarding, exiting staff need proper offboarding, and somewhere in between, someone has to keep track of attendance, performance, and the paperwork that protects the business if anything goes wrong. Most founders did not start their business to manage all of that, and most internal teams are not built to carry it at scale.

Traction Outsourcing takes on the staffing and HR administration work directly, so your outsourced staff show up, perform, and get paid correctly, while the compliance and management weight sits with us instead of you. This is not a call center reading from a script. We look at how your business actually operates before we place a single person, then build the staffing and HR support around that reality.

The Full Service

Staff outsourcing done properly covers far more than placing people. Every client engagement includes the full lifecycle below, managed by our team so yours does not have to.

Staff Sourcing & Placement

We source, screen, and place staff matched to the role through ATH Recruiters, drawing from a pre-vetted community of candidates ready to work.

Payroll Administration

Accurate, timely payroll processing with full compliance to Nigerian statutory requirements including PAYE, pension, and NHF remittances.

Employee Lifecycle Management

From onboarding to exit, we run the HR processes that keep your workforce organised, documented, and audit-ready at every stage.

HR Policy & Compliance

We build and maintain the policy handbooks, SLAs, and staff documentation your business needs to stay protected and consistent.

Performance & Attendance Oversight

We track attendance and follow up on performance so issues surface early instead of becoming problems your team discovers too late.

HR Advisory & Structural Support

When your organisational structure needs to change, we design the framework and manage the transition, tying into our restructuring service where needed.

Common Questions

What is staff outsourcing?

Staff outsourcing is when a business hands over the sourcing, payroll, compliance, and day-to-day management of a set of employees to a specialist firm, while those staff continue working within the client's business. It removes the administrative and legal weight of employment without removing the workforce itself.

What is the difference between staff outsourcing and recruitment?

Recruitment ends once a candidate is placed and the client takes over as employer. Staff outsourcing continues after placement. Traction Outsourcing remains responsible for payroll, compliance, HR administration, and ongoing management of that staff member for as long as the arrangement runs.

Does Traction Outsourcing handle payroll and pension remittance?

Yes. Payroll administration, including PAYE, pension, and NHF remittances, is a core part of the staff outsourcing service, run to Nigerian statutory requirements.

Can Traction Outsourcing manage staff outside Abuja?

Yes. Traction Outsourcing manages outsourced staff for businesses across Nigeria, not only in Abuja. Payroll, compliance, and HR administration are handled remotely and consistently regardless of where the staff are based.
