Payroll services for
Recruiting Firms

Whether you're filling roles or managing placements, payroll shouldn’t be an extra job.

SurePayroll can help solo headhunters and small recruiting teams run payroll from their phone, integrate hours easily, and pay both employees and contractors—all without a finance department or payroll experience.

It’s fast, easy-to-use, and built to keep up with your recruiting pace.
SurePayroll can help take the complexity out of payroll with an easy-to-use, full-service platform that handles W-2s, 1099s, tax filings, and direct deposits automatically.

No stress. No spreadsheets. Just payroll on easy mode— built for organizations doing meaningful work.

The owner of a small recruiting company screens a candidate for a client.

Payroll that keeps up with your placements

Run payroll from your phone

Handle pay runs wherever your desk happens to be.

Popular time-tracking integrations

Sync hours directly—no manual input needed.

W-2 and 1099 support in one place

Pay employees, contractors, and partners without switching tools.

Staffing and Recruiting

Your work supports people (so your payroll software should support you)

Small recruiting firms often juggle placements with support staff, contractors, and bonus structures—often without internal payroll support. Missed deadlines or misclassified workers shouldn’t be part of the deal.

Here’s what solo recruiters and staffing leads are up against:

Multiple pay rates and roles per worker

Recruiters may get commissions and administrative staff could get hourly wages.

No in-house finance team

You’re running payroll on nights or weekends because there's no specialist on staff.

Tax time stress

Quarterly payroll tax deadlines can sneak up on you—and missing them can cost you.

Classification confusion

Determining W-2 employee versus 1099 contractor status for your team can be a headache.

Our Solution

SurePayroll can help recruiting companies scale.

Plug time directly from popular integrations, run payroll from anywhere, quickly and easily.

Click. Run. Done.
