About Forwards Career Services

At Forwards Career Services, our mission is simple: to provide small businesses with the HR support they need to grow confidently and sustainably. We understand that people are at the heart of every successful business — but managing HR on your own can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and costly. That’s where we come in.

Founded with a passion for helping businesses thrive, Forwards Career Services offers outsourced HR solutions tailored to the unique needs of small organizations. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or expanding your team, we provide the expertise, structure, and guidance to help you move forward with ease.

We specialize in:

  • Recruiting & Hiring Support
    Attracting qualified candidates, screening applicants, and supporting a smooth hiring process.

  • Policies, Procedures & Compliance
    Creating clear, legally sound employee handbooks, policies, and documentation.

  • Employee Relations Guidance
    Helping you handle sensitive conversations, evaluations, and workplace challenges.

  • Onboarding & Offboarding
    Ensuring the employee experience starts — and ends — professionally and consistently.

  • HR Strategy & Best Practices
    Providing ongoing support so you can lead your team confidently.

Our approach is rooted in professionalism, communication, and reliability. We take the guesswork out of HR so you can focus on what matters most — running and growing your business.

At Forwards Career Services, we believe small businesses deserve the same high-quality HR support as large organizations. We are committed to being your trusted partner every step of the way.

Let’s move your business forward — together.

 

Susan worked great for us. We are a small business that doesn’t always have a need for specific HR services so we don’t have an HR department. Susan came recommended to us from other hospitality professionals and after interviewing Susan we decided to hire her firm for some hiring needs. Susan was great, she set up the necessary outlets for applications to be received and made sure that the process was organized and timely. We had a single collection point for the applicant resumes and Susan screened each one based upon our requirements. The process worked great and was much less stressful than we experienced without her. Bottom line, if you are interested in streamlining your hiring process Susan can make that happen for you. There are many more services other than hiring that we will use Susan for in the future as well.

I want to highly recommend Susan for assisting your efforts across the entire spectrum of human resources, employee relations activities and issues. I have only recently come to know Susan and engage her to conduct a much needed compensation survey for a Hilton Head resort complex where I serve as a board member. However, my interactions with her have told me all I need to know about her competence, professionalism, and responsiveness. Having spent my entire business career in the HR arena, 35 years in the corporate world and the final 20 years as an independent consultant and mentor on behalf of leaders and their teams, I believe I know genuine talent, capability when it presents itself. Susan is just such a talent. Engage her, rely on her, and the issues that you are dealing with will receive the support and assistance you need for successful outcomes.
