TempWorks
Staffing ATS, CRM and pay/bill in one system.
Quote-based pricing API
Bottom line
US staffing software that runs the ATS, CRM, payroll, billing and tax filing in one system, with a mobile app for temps. Quote-based, and built for temporary staffing agencies rather than corporate hiring.
Stands out for: The back office goes further than most staffing ATSs: payroll processing, W-2 and ACA forms, tax services and payroll funding through Lone Oak Payroll can all come from TempWorks itself.
Watch out for: No published price, and the product is shaped around US temp payroll, so it is the wrong fit for corporate talent teams or search firms with no payroll to run.
Overview
TempWorks is staffing software for US temporary staffing agencies, founded in 1997. One system covers the applicant tracking system, client CRM, onboarding, time capture, payroll, billing and tax compliance, with a mobile app for recruiters and temps and a geo check-in time clock using QR code, PIN or facial recognition.
Agencies choose TempWorks when the back office is the buying reason. It can also take on payroll processing, year-end W-2 work and payroll funding as services. SystemIQ adds AI job listings and automation, and a documented API connects outside tools. Pricing is quoted rather than published.
