Every review below is a real, verified Trustpilot review from a Catapult member.

I am a huge fan of Catapult

As a matter of fact, membership is a condition of employment for me. As a one-person HR leader, knowing that I have their knowledge and tools at my fingertips makes my life so much easier and less worrisome than if I were going it alone. I use many of their services: COBRA, Background, HR Advice line, Compensation, Training and Project Management to name a few.

As a C-Suite HR Leader, the trusted feedback and resources readily available by Catapult has proven over several years to be incredibly valuable. Special shoutout to Linda Hunter for her consultation to me, my team, and the organization at-large!

It’s the people at Catapult

It’s the people at Catapult that make the experience great. I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job of explaining situations in a way that’s easy to understand. We have been members for many years and plan to continue being members for many more.
