Hired and Working in One Week

Most staffing takes months because generalist recruiters fumble role-specific vetting. Our technical recruiters have deep experience in your vertical and industry, and we test for the exact skills the job actually needs.

Signs You Need a Payroll Specialist

If any of these sound familiar, payroll mistakes are eating your week.

1

Multi-State Is a Compliance Mess

  • Employees in new states get hired before registration completes
  • Tax notices pile up and nobody addresses them
  • Year-end W2 corrections become a fire drill
2

Contractor Payments Are Manual

  • 1099 prep takes three weeks every January
  • International contractors paid through five different methods
  • No system for tracking who is on which payment platform
3

Benefits Reconciliations Get Skipped

  • Health insurance invoices and payroll deductions never match
  • 401(k) match calculations done by hand
  • PTO accruals tracked in a spreadsheet that gets stale

Payroll Specialist FAQ

What payroll platforms do they know?
Most of our placements work in Gusto, ADP, Rippling, or Justworks. If you use Paychex or something custom, we match for it before sending a profile.
Can they handle multi-state and international?
Yes. We have placements with experience across all 50 US states and international payment platforms like Deel and Remote. We match for the complexity you need.
What time zone do they work?
Our placements are nearshore in Colombia and other LATAM countries on US business hours. You communicate with them the same way you would a local remote employee. No async lag.
What is included in the $2,500 a month?
A full time Payroll Specialist working 40 hours a week, dedicated to your team. We handle recruiting, vetting, payroll, HR, equipment, and free replacements. You also get a custom AI Copilot trained on your payroll cadence and SOPs.
What if they are not the right fit?
We replace them at no extra cost. No questions asked. We keep working until you have someone who clicks with your team and ships the way you need.
How is this different from a PEO?
PEOs charge per employee per month and own the employer of record. We place one full time payroll specialist on your team, vetted by a recruiter, with a flat monthly rate and free replacement.
