WorkGenius vs People2.0

Yes. Both act as the Employer of Record for contingent workers. People2.0 is a global back-office service sold to staffing firms and other talent suppliers. WorkGenius works with staffing agencies and directly with employers, employs W-2 workers in all 50 states, and gives you onboarding, timesheets, approvals, invoices and dashboards in one login.

The software. People2.0 lists separate portals by region and user type and describes its model as outsourcing your back office. WorkGenius runs the whole engagement in one application, with a documented API, SOC 2 Type 2 security and real-time dashboards. The second difference is focus: WorkGenius is built US-first around all 50 states, with onboarding within 24 hours of a signed offer.

WorkGenius also sources talent, and we are open about that. For agency partners it is an option, not a condition: you can ask us to help with a hard-to-fill role, or never use it. You keep your client relationship and your margin either way. People2.0 states it is not a staffing firm, so if you want a provider with no sourcing capability at all, that is a real difference between us.

Yes. Employers work with WorkGenius directly as the Employer of Record for the people they want to hire in any US state, with no entity, registration or state filings on their side. People2.0 serves talent suppliers, so an end client usually reaches it through a staffing firm. With WorkGenius you can also ask us to source the talent: vetted candidates within 48 hours.

WorkGenius charges one all-in markup on the worker’s pay, covering payroll, employer taxes, filings and compliance, on one invoice. Benefits are billed separately. Volume pricing is available. People2.0 says its fee structure varies by services and scale and asks you to contact them for a quote.

No. WorkGenius does not advance payroll. Instead, you fund payroll on Thursday for Friday pay, two to three days later than legacy providers typically require, so your cash stays with you longer every cycle. If you need a provider that lends you the payroll, People2.0 lists payroll funding as a service.

Yes, including mid-assignment. We coordinate the start date with you so there is no gap in pay. Each worker signs a WorkGenius offer and completes onboarding digitally, and is on our payroll within 24 hours of signing. Because the legal employer changes, the previous employer’s final-pay rules apply to their last period.

WorkGenius connects with Workday, SAP, Oracle, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Lever, SAP Fieldglass, Beeline, Coupa and NetSuite. If your system is not on that list, our team builds custom integrations via our documented REST API.

All 50 US states. WorkGenius is already the registered employer in every state, with tax accounts, filings and workers’ comp in place, so you can place a worker anywhere today. When you need it, we also cover 100+ countries.
