Payrolling Services
Reduce Onboarding Risk for Candidates You Already Trust
Staffing Support Specialists offers Payrolling Solutions for employers who have identified a candidate they want to hire, but aren’t ready to add them directly to their payroll. We act as the employer during the initial period, allowing you to confirm fit while minimizing onboarding and employment risk. Get connected with us today by clicking the button below.
You bring the candidate. We manage employment until you’re ready.
How Our Payrolling Services Work
With our Payrolling services, YOU source the candidate, and we handle the employment until you’re ready to hire them directly. There are no minimum timelines or conversion fees.
Our process:
You source the candidate: You identify the individual you’d like to bring on, whether through your network, internal referrals, or prior engagement.
We handle the employment administration: We place the employee on our payroll and manage all employment requirements, including I-9 processing, background and drug screening (as required), payroll processing, unemployment taxes, and workers’ compensation insurance.
Flexible transition timeline: There is NO minimum time requirement before conversion. You can transition the referral employee to your payroll, whenever the time is right for your organization.
Seamless transition to your team: When you’re ready, the employee transitions directly to your payroll—without additional fees.
Proactive and transparent communication: We stay in close contact throughout the onboarding and referral period, so you always know where things stand.
With over 25 years of experience, we know all the nuances in finding the right candidate to add value to your organization. If our Payrolling option doesn’t fit your needs, check out our other Staffing Solutions.
