Company Overview
This client is a national financial services provider based in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area, offering products and services across insurance, benefits, and retirement planning. Amid a period of internal restructuring and changes in contingent workforce leadership, the company sought a more reliable and responsive partner to manage its growing payrolling and Employer of Record (EOR) needs. With a diverse consultant population and workers spread across the country, they turned to Dahl Consulting (DAHL) to provide a scalable, compliant, and service-driven solution that could keep pace with their evolving workforce demands.
Hiring Challenges
Prior to partnering with DAHL, the organization struggled with an underperforming vendor that failed to deliver the customer service and attention to detail they required. Their internal teams were under-resourced and frequently left waiting for answers. With consultants operating in dozens of states and many working in field-based or traveling roles, the company needed a partner that could navigate nuanced employment laws, deliver responsive support, and ensure a seamless experience for both administrators and workers. The lack of legal guidance and payroll accuracy with the former provider also created risk exposure that needed to be addressed urgently.
Workforce Solutions
DAHL responded by offering a high-touch, consultative approach tailored to the complexity of the company’s needs. A dedicated team worked closely with key contacts to understand the full scope of their challenges. DAHL provided immediate support, not only handling payrolling logistics efficiently but also helping the client navigate regulatory issues such as state-specific minimum wage laws, travel time pay, and cross-border compliance for consultants working across multiple jurisdictions. When policies required updating, DAHL proactively offered recommendations and helped facilitate the changes to ensure legal and operational alignment.
DAHL’s hands-on approach extended well beyond initial onboarding. The team maintained consistent communication, delivered fast responses to urgent requests, and offered a reliable point of contact for every stakeholder involved. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, DAHL prioritized building a true partnership rooted in employment expertise, transparency, and personalized service.
Key Results
Since the start of the partnership in July 2023, DAHL has successfully payrolled consultants in 19 states, including key markets on both coasts. The range of supported positions has spanned from benefit enrollers and business analysts to software developers and interim executives, with the peak number of payrolled consultants totaling to 35. Since our relationship started, DAHL has payrolled over 96 consultants with this client!
The DAHL team’s ability to onboard talent quickly, resolve compliance issues proactively, and provide white-glove service has earned the trust of the organization’s leadership. The client has since expanded DAHL’s role to support additional staffing needs outside the original payroll-only scope. The relationship continues to grow based on the consistent delivery of results, the reliability of the service model, and the value of having a trusted employment partner navigating workforce complexities alongside them.
“DAHL has been a wonderful partner to have in the payroll space. They are quick to respond and solve any problems. They go above and beyond when presented with unusual situations. The consultants have positive feedback on [DAHL’s] process, and we are appreciative of their dedication to efficient Service.” – Contingent Workforce Team
