A Look Ahead at 2026 Vervic HR

As Vervic Human Capital Solutions wraps up its first year, Rob Murphy and Mike Bean sat down to reflect on what they have learned, what surprised them, and where the business is headed in 2026.

The conversation was not about polished wins or big announcements. It was an honest look at what it takes to build a company, how partnership changes the load, and what really matters when you are serving clients in the people space.

How Vervic Came Together

Rob and Mike met through a leadership forum at Vantage and began doing what most founders do when they first connect. They talked shop. Over time, it became clear that their strengths fit together naturally.

Before joining forces, both were operating solo. Mike was managing multiple HR services while also handling day to day operations, employees, invoicing, and the books. Rob was focused on recruiting and business development. When they came together, one of the biggest benefits was clarity.

Responsibilities were divided based on strengths, not titles. Recruiting and business development on one side. HR advisory and consulting on the other. That simple shift made the business more focused and easier to grow.

Just as important was the partnership itself. Having someone to talk through ideas with, to ask hard questions, and to offer encouragement made a real difference. Entrepreneurship can be isolating, and that changed once Vervic became a shared effort.

Similar Services, Different Conversations

One of the biggest lessons from the first year was realizing that HR consulting, recruiting, and temp staffing may seem closely related, but they cannot be approached the same way.

Each service solves a different problem and requires a different conversation with clients. Even within recruiting, direct hire and retained recruiting operate very differently because of how they are structured and billed.

That realization pushed Vervic to get clearer about who each service is really for and how to talk about it. What looked simple on paper turned out to be more nuanced in practice.

Most Clients Do Not Need Big HR Programs

From the HR advisory side, Mike shared an important insight. Most clients do not need large, complex HR packages.

What they need is practical support.

Many organizations simply need someone to step in for 10, 20, or 40 hours a month. Sometimes it is help with an investigation. Other times it is benefits, compensation alignment, or filling the HR function when there is no in house professional.

Clients have responded well to this approach because it meets them where they are. Every company will face HR challenges at some point. Having the right help early often prevents much bigger problems later.

Building the Business with Faith at the Center

Another meaningful part of the conversation was the role faith plays in how Vervic operates.

Rob and Mike shared that their shared Christian values shape how they lead, make decisions, and work with clients. It was not something they set out to promote, but something that naturally became part of how the business runs day to day.

Gratitude, trust, and humility have been central to the first year, and both were quick to give credit for the growth they have seen.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As they head into 2026, Rob and Mike are encouraged by the momentum across the business. More importantly, they are confident in the foundation that has been built.

The first year was not about getting everything right. It was about learning, adjusting, and building something sustainable for their team and their clients.
