"ACTivate HR is an amazing company and wonderful to work with. Our company had a large scale investigation occurring, and our team was overloaded and unable to respond to it by ourselves. Upon reaching out to ACTivate HR, I received a quick response from Krista, followed by plenty of great assistance. She was extremely professional and insightful, and provided a thorough report of the findings in a timely manner. I can’t recommend ACTivate HR enough.”
