“As we take care of our clients during this challenging time, we continue to identify ways we can help ease the burdens they face and make a difference in the success of their business,” said Paul Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer. “This disruption from the pandemic is affecting small business clients in different ways as many are faced with laying off long-term trusted employees, while some are experiencing a surge requiring additional staff. We are taking proactive steps to help reduce recruiting-related expenses through fee-inclusive and flat-rate programs for our client base that need to increase staff, including the health care, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, distribution/logistics, information technology and manufacturing sectors. In addition, we have chosen to provide outplacement services free of charge to help cushion the emotional strain for both business owners and employees facing uncertainty from necessary layoffs.”
With these changes, Workforce Optimization and Workforce Synchronization clients, which are part of Insperity’s full-service HR offering, receive recruiting services at no additional cost but are responsible for external costs such as advertising fees; skills-based, cognitive and personality assessments; and background checks. Workforce AccelerationTM and Workforce Administration clients that utilize Insperity’s comprehensive traditional payroll and human capital management (HCM) solution pay a reduced flat rate for all direct-hire requisitions but are responsible for external costs such as advertising fees; skills-based, cognitive and personality assessments; and background checks.

Companies that are not Workforce Optimization, Workforce Synchronization, Workforce Acceleration or Workforce Administration clients that come on board during the designated time period may also take advantage of Insperity’s offer of reduced flat rate recruiting services including advertising costs, but such clients will be responsible for other external costs such as skills-based, cognitive and personality assessments; and background checks.
Insperity is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with clients and employees in the unfortunate circumstance of layoffs and the resulting emotional challenges. This is one of the most difficult decisions a business owner has make, and it takes a devastating toll on employees. Insperity will help ease these burdens by continuing to support these individuals during such a trying time. The company is offering free outplacement services that include resume assistance, digital footprint assessments and job-application tips. In addition, Insperity will help match individuals with job openings at other client companies where possible.
