HR and payroll built for a workforce that never sits still.
Staffing and recruiting agencies place high volumes of temporary and contract workers across clients, states, and pay rates, all at once. Netchex handles high-volume payroll, multi-client and multi-state complexity, and co-employment compliance from one platform.
7,500+ organizations trust Netchex
The back-office challenges agencies know too well.
Staffing payroll runs at a volume and pace most platforms can’t keep up with. Hundreds of workers, dozens of clients, different rates and states for each, and a payroll deadline that arrives every single week.
High volume, different rate for everyone
Hundreds of placed workers, each with a client-specific bill and pay rate. When rates are managed by hand, errors at volume become a weekly fire drill.
Weekly payroll with no margin for error
Most agencies pay weekly, and temp workers feel a wrong or late check immediately. The pressure to reconcile fast, every week, never lets up.
Multi-state tax at scale
Placing workers across state lines creates payroll tax obligations in every jurisdiction. Manual multi-state filing at agency volume is a compounding risk.
Co-employment and classification risk
Temp, contract, and 1099 workers carry classification and co-employment exposure. Getting it wrong triggers back taxes, penalties, and audits.
Turnover is the business model
Workers cycle constantly by design. Onboarding has to be fast and repeatable, or the back office drowns in paperwork before anyone gets placed.
There’s a better way to run it
Netchex connects pay, scheduling, hiring, and compliance into one employee system of record, so data flows without re-entry, reconciliation, or gaps. Here’s how.
How staffing is changing in 2026.
Worker classification scrutiny is increasing
State and federal scrutiny of contractor classification keeps growing. Agencies that misclassify face back taxes and penalties, especially in stricter states.
Speed to first paycheck is a differentiator
Workers choose agencies that pay fast and accurately. Same-day onboarding and reliable weekly pay win placements and keep workers loyal.
Earned wage access drives loyalty
Temp and contract workers living between paychecks value early access to earned wages. Agencies offering it keep workers coming back for the next placement.
Workers expect mobile everything
Placed workers expect to onboard, check pay, and get answers from their phone. Agencies that deliver that fill assignments faster and churn less.
Every tool your agency demands.
Netchex gives staffing agencies high-volume payroll accuracy, multi-client and multi-state management, and fast onboarding, so the back office keeps pace with placements.
Multi-Client, Multi-Rate Pay
Client-specific bill and pay rates configured once and calculated correctly across hundreds of placed workers, every weekly run.
Multi-State Tax — Built In
Netchex calculates and files payroll taxes automatically across all 50 states, so placing workers anywhere doesn’t create manual filing work.
Same-Day Onboarding
New workers complete forms, tax setup, and authorizations digitally before they start, so placements go live fast and nothing gets skipped.
High-Volume Recruiting
Text-to-Apply lets candidates apply in under 4 minutes. AI screening surfaces best-fit workers at the volume agencies need.
Classification & Compliance
Manage W-2, temp, and contract workers with the records and guidance that reduce co-employment and misclassification risk.
Flex Pay — Earned Wage Access
Let placed workers access wages they’ve already earned between paydays. No cost to you, no change to payroll, and loyalty that brings them back.
AskHR — Any Language, 24/7
Placed workers get instant answers in their own language, so recruiters and back-office staff field fewer repetitive calls.
One Connected Platform
Recruiting feeds onboarding, onboarding feeds payroll, time feeds billing data — all from one login, built for agency volume.
