AlphaStaff vs ExtensisHR

AlphaStaff provides compelling PEO services to over 100,00 employees in the US, even though they don't go out of their way to identify themselves as such. They are essentially an HRO company, founded in 1997 and based in Florida. Their co-employment services include payroll processing, recruitment, HR management and consulting, benefits administration, and so on. This company is highly respected in the PEO industry for its exceptional services and has been acknowledged for its efforts in combating unemployment fraud. They are members of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) and have received accreditation from the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for meeting SSAE 16 and 18 requirements. They are not certified by the IRS, however, nor are they accredited by the BBB, which gives them a C+ rating. There are very few customer reviews written about them, which makes it tough to gauge the real-world quality of their services.

ExtensisHR is a CPEO that is certified, but not endorsed, by the IRS that provides comprehensive human resources services and solutions to employers. It was founded in 1997 with headquarters in Woodbridge, NJ, and Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and offices in four other states. ExtensisHR serves 19 industries throughout the US with their comprehensive PEO and HRO services, including HR guidance and support, payroll, tax administration, talent management and recruiting, employee benefits, and risk and compliance management. They also offer various HR technologies, including a mobile Work Anywhere cloud-based platform. The company boasts a long list of satisfied customers in small to medium-sized businesses, who appreciate the comprehensive nature of their services and their commitment to providing complete HR solutions. They offer three service options, or "solutions," on their website but do not share pricing. Prospective clients must submit a form to be contacted for a quote. They are certified by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC), whose accreditation is considered the gold standard for PEO reliability and financial assurance.
