Our Founder - Terry Hookstra
Terry Hookstra, from his humble beginnings, growing up above a bar in Omaha, serving his country in the Navy, and then starting his young career in the computer industry, Terry has always been a forward thinker. For his first entrepreneur journey, Terry created a small computer company. One of his clients was a PEO. After discovering the uniqueness of the PEO industry, he took the challenge of developing a client base for this PEO. After accomplishing this goal, Terry decided to use his entrepreneur skills again and created eEmployers Solutions, Inc. in 1998.

Our Mission Is
To Simplify The
Employment Challenges
of Your Business
We offer expertise in Human Resources, Workers’ Compensation & Risk Management, Employee Benefits, Retirement Packages, Payroll Administration and more. We can also offer them two ways. One is as a PEO: through our detailed Customer Service Agreement, we become a co-employer, shouldering most employment liabilities as well as taking on responsibility for compliance issues, and a full range of benefit, payroll, and tax management. The other is via Administrative Services Organization (ASO), a simple fee-based menu of options, from payroll processing to tax filing to benefits administration; however, with this method your organization retains all liability and responsibility for Workmans’ Comp, etc. Both methods can save you overhead and time that can be better used by your own personnel.
Simply put, Human Resource Management is our business – and has been since 1999 when we started eESI as a licensed PEO with headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
