Our process

How PEO matching works

From quote-match form to written comparison in about a week.

1

Tell us about your business

About 90 seconds: headcount, states, industry, current setup, biggest problem. The quote-match form handles the rest.

2

We run the comparison

Same-day human review of your information. Within 7 business days, you receive a written comparison report covering 3–5 PEO providers we recommend, normalized side-by-side.

You decide

Request introductions to one or more providers — or take our recommendation that a non-PEO option fits better. No pressure. See our matching methodology.

How we work

Built on documented process, not assertion

We publish our matching methodology, editorial process, and provider review standards — in plain English. Read them all before you submit anything.

The seven evaluation criteria we score every PEO on, how qualification standards work, and the situations where we recommend something other than a PEO entirely.

Provider review standards

The eligibility checks every PEO has to clear before they're in our matching pool — and the conditions under which a provider gets removed.

Editorial policy
