What Makes CraveHRO Stand Out
CraveHRO was built for small employers who “crave” clarity and compliance — minus the corporate jargon and cookie-cutter playbooks. The firm blends empathetic HR consulting with practical tech (CraveWave) and flexible service tiers so clients can scale support from occasional guidance to full outsourced HR.
Key Highlights:
Human-first consulting shaped by the founder’s lived experience and advocacy for fair workplaces.
CraveWave — an affordable HR platform ($149/month) with tools like an Employee Handbook Builder, Salary Benchmarking, OSHA logs, LMS, and HR Hotline.
Service Ladder — modular monthly packages (Access → Presence) that flex with small-business needs.
CraveHRO’s mix of pragmatic tech and person-centered consulting helps employers stay compliant while building workplaces people want to join and stay in.
Giving Back & Social Impact
Nicole turned personal adversity into action: after navigating caregiving and workplace retaliation, she launched CraveHRO and channels that experience into advocacy. The company actively supports mental health and suicide-prevention initiatives (including AFSP fundraising), and produces accessible resources — from e-books for children to practical HR guides — aimed at creating healthier workplaces.
Why CraveHRO Won the Great Companies Global Business Award 2025
CraveHRO represents HR Innovation Excellence by reimagining HR for small employers — marrying empathy with compliance and delivering tools that are both affordable and actionable. The company’s clear product-market fit, strong client testimonials, and mission-driven leadership make it a model for human-centered HR innovation.
Founder’s Vision
“I built CraveHRO because small employers deserve HR that’s smart, kind, and usable. We give teams the policies, tools, and guidance they need — without the corporate fluff — so businesses can focus on people and growth.”— Nicole Craveiro, Founder, CraveHRO
The Road Ahead
CraveHRO will continue expanding CraveWave’s features, growing its Service Ladder, and scaling outreach to small employers across states and industries. The emphasis will remain on real-world solutions that reduce risk, raise standards, and make workplaces more humane.
