We hire against companies ten times our size
Payroll runs itself, the 401(k) is integrated, and I have not thought about a tax filing in two years. For a company of our size that is the entire value proposition.
Pros
Workers compensation bundled without a separate broker
Cons
The value case weakens as you pass roughly a hundred employees

We are nineteen people and we offer health coverage that our candidates recognise from much larger employers. Shopping that on our own we were quoted terribly. Inside the pooled risk it is a different market, and it has directly won us two hires against bigger competitors.

I have contacted support at genuinely odd hours and got a competent human quickly, by phone and by Slack. As a founder doing HR at eleven at night after the real work, that availability is not a nice to have.

The platform is simple enough that I actually keep it current. Every HR system I ran before this decayed because maintaining it was a project. This one takes minutes.

Every other PEO we spoke to would not give a number without a discovery call and a proposal. Justworks publishes seventy nine and one hundred and nine per employee on their website. That transparency is why they got our shortlist and eventually our business.

We have people in four states and the compliance surface terrified me. Registrations, filings, state specific requirements. That is now their problem rather than mine and it is the single largest reason we pay the premium.

Co employment takes explaining internally
Performance reviews, applicant tracking and org planning are thin or absent. We run a separate tool for that. Justworks is a PEO first and an HR platform second, and the marketing slightly blurs that.
