Executive-level HR expertise. Without the full-time hire.

SPHR® and OSHA 30 credentials held by John Kim, founder. Not sponsored by HRCI or OSHA.
When one employee files on behalf of the state, the case rolls up across the entire workforce. Disputes rarely stop at one violation, and California courts recognize a single PAGA filing as a representative action against the business, not just an individual claim.
Epiko Hub's senior partners — only those who hold HR's highest credentials, SPHR · SHRM-SCP , and have 10+ years of field experience — are dedicated to an owner's business.
Senior-grade expertise marked by one of the two most authoritative credentials in U.S. HR — SPHR · SHRM-SCP — both of which require documented field experience and exam passage to earn.
Depth built across U.S. HR field operations — not classroom compliance, but the instinct to read the details that appear just before a dispute begins.
Senior expertise close at hand without the burden of a full-time HR hire — an outside-partnership model where the same senior is dedicated to each owner's business.
