People operations
HR & Payroll
People operations are unforgiving — a late payroll or a compliance slip is noticed at once. Canaan takes on the administration and hiring that has to run quietly and correctly in the background.

- Recruitment (RPO)
The work
Payroll and back-office you can stop worrying about
A late payroll is noticed at once. That is the whole brief.
Administrative operations run to a schedule and a compliance standard. This is the home for payroll, the back-office processing around it, and recruitment delivery when hiring outpaces your own team.
Our approach
Run to a calendar and a compliance standard
The calendar and the standard are fixed before anything runs.
Both the calendar and the compliance standard are fixed before anything runs — a payroll schedule, documented procedures, and a records policy that states how employee data is held. Recruitment attaches to the same discipline, with time-to-hire reported.
