The HR XCEL Story

Barbara moved to New York City straight out of college, not sure exactly what direction she wanted to take in her career. She says she found a position and situation that allowed her to grow at an unprecedented rate and set the stage for her current position, president and co-founder of her own company.

Barbara's innate business savvy, hard work and drive helped her quickly make a name for herself in her first HR position at the Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange. She moved thru the ranks and was named Director of Human Resources at an unprecedented early age.

Having found her career path, Barbara broadened her HR experience over the years by assuming roles of increasing responsibility in a variety of industries.

Along the way, Barbara took note of a critical void in many small to mid-size companies. She recognized that there were many companies out there that desperately needed HR expertise, but simply could not afford to hire the internal resources to gain that expertise. She put together a business plan to provide a solution for those companies and HR XCEL was born.

Today, HR XCEL provides comprehensive Human Resource Outsourcing and Benefits Administration for a wide range of clients.

"HR XCEL's mission is to provide companies with HR expertise from HR professionals,"says Sheridan. "By actively recruiting HR professionals with years of extensive experience, HR XCEL can provide its clients with unparalleled service and knowledge. Many companies simply can’t afford to have that expertise on staff – and HR XCEL gives them access to a high-level of knowledge and experience."
