Transforming HR for a Pre-IPO Silicon Valley Tech Company
A privately held, Silicon Valley-based technology company experiencing hyper-growth partnered with PD Solutions Group to transition their Human Resources (HR) functions in-house. As the company prepared for its next growth phase and eventual IPO, it sought to move away from reliance on a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and establish a scalable HR infrastructure to support its expanding workforce.

The company needed an experienced and trusted partner to:
Provide fractional HR technology leadership to guide the transformation.
Build and optimize internal workflows and processes that aligned with their growth trajectory.
Design and implement HR technology solutions integrated with their existing tech stack, enabling employee and manager self-service capabilities.
The Results
By January 2025, PD Solutions Group had delivered transformative results, setting the company up for sustained growth and operational excellence:
Core HR System Live in Record Time: Deployed and operationalized the Core HR and Payroll solution within six months, achieving 98% system adoption within the first 90 days.
Integration Efficiency: Reduced HR tech integration timelines by 30%, allowing for faster deployment of additional tools and services.
