Your HR department, handled.
Hiring, staff records, policies and the difficult conversations, all taken care of for one flat monthly fee. Designed for small and growing businesses without a full-time HR person.
You started a business to run it, not to be its HR department.
HR takes your evenings
Paperwork, schedules, staff files and questions land on you after a full day of running the business.
The rules keep changing
Ontario adds new employer requirements almost every year, from written workplace policies to new job posting rules in 2026.
No one to call
A performance concern, a complaint, a resignation during a staffing shortage. You should not have to guess what to do.
Everything a good HR department does, without the hire.
Practical, experienced HR support for owners and directors. We handle the routine paperwork and tracking, and we are a phone call away when a decision needs care.
Policies and handbook
Written for your business and kept current as Ontario law changes.
Hiring kit
Compliant job postings, interview guides and offer letters.
Onboarding
Digital paperwork, checklists and a clear first-week plan.
Staff records and compliance

Hello, I'm Tayyeba.
I have spent more than ten years in HR and client success. I began in recruitment and HR at Randstad Canada, supporting well-known Canadian employers in manufacturing, consumer goods and retail, and advising leaders on policy, compliance and employee relations for teams of more than 100.
Since then I have worked in enterprise technology, helping large organizations protect their data, run reliable systems and build structure and accountability.
I founded Verdelle HR after seeing how much time business owners, including my own clients, spend on HR they never signed up for. Small businesses deserve the same quality of HR as large companies, at a price that makes sense.
Frequently asked
Is this HR software?
No. It is a hands-on service. You work with a person, not a platform, and there is nothing new for you to learn.
Do you replace a lawyer?
No. We provide HR support and guidance, not legal advice. When a situation calls for a lawyer, we will tell you and can introduce you to an employment lawyer.
Who does the work?
Your HR support is provided by Tayyeba Zamir, an HR professional with more than ten years of experience. We use standard business software for reminders, records and reports, which keeps pricing fair. Every document is reviewed personally, and decisions about your employees always stay with you.
Is our employee information safe?
Yes. We collect only what is needed, store it with secure, reputable business providers and restrict access to it. We follow Canada's privacy law (PIPEDA). Read our Privacy Policy.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Ontario businesses with roughly 5 to 150 employees that do not have a full-time HR person, across industries including professional services, health care, retail, hospitality, child care, trades and non-profits.
