Since 1981, Pivotal Integrated HR Solutions has been a leader in small-to-midsize company solutions

The PIVOTAL story starts in May 11th, 1981 when Alan Kouba and Stan Lewis began their truly unique and successful business partnership. The fledgling Company began in the temporary truck driver business, providing temporary and permanent staff to transportation, distribution and manufacturing firms across the GTA. Over the next few years, the business expanded to include light-industrial temporary workers, culminating in the PIVOTAL Staffing division – now one of the GTA’s largest providers of light industrial temporary workforce and industry leading Health & Safety program.

The early 1990′s saw another growth spurt for the Company. In 1993, after witnessing the initial success of HR outsourcing in the U.S., the founders created H.R. Outsourcing Inc. to provide back office and payroll processing services. This company eventually expanded its business model to provide a full range of HR consulting services, evolving into a company called HROI. Over the years, HROI grew to become one of the largest HR Consulting firms in Ontario providing a broad range of HR solutions to small and mid-sized companies.

About the same time, two other staffing businesses were added. ITECC, an IT staffing business and Staffing Sources, an office support and administration staffing firm, was purchased. In early 2003, the Company again expanded to spin-off three new companies. These included Wilson Partners, an executive search and interim management firm and BPO Solutions, a full-scale HR outsourcing company.

The third, ACS Automation, was a payroll and HRMS company. It had existed in-house since 1981, providing administration and back-office shared services to the rest of the Company. In 2003 ACS Automation was commercialized so that this administration expertise could now be made available to other companies in the marketplace. In 2004, the Company embarked upon its most ambitious effort to date – merging six unique HR companies together under one umbrella – PIVOTAL Integrated HR Solutions.
