NEOGOV

What NEOGOV does

NEOGOV (legal entity Governmentjobs.com, Inc., DBA NEOGOV) is a cloud-based human capital management and public safety software platform purpose-built for the public sector. Founded in 2000 and headquartered at 2120 Park Place, Suite 100, El Segundo, California, the company serves more than 13,000 public sector organizations across North America — including city, county, and state government agencies, public safety organizations (law enforcement, fire, EMS), and educational institutions — and supports more than 800,000 end users. The platform integrates recruiting (Insight ATS, Attract CRM), onboarding, an HRIS suite (CoreHR, Payroll, Benefits, Time & Attendance), performance management (Perform), learning (Learn), policy management (Policy, powered by PowerDMS), electronic forms (eForms), and AI-powered background investigation (Vetted, now incorporating eSOPH acquired with Miller Mendel Inc.). Adjacent public safety capabilities — off-duty scheduling (PowerDetails, acquired March 2026), scheduling (PlanIt Schedule), workforce analytics (Agency360), and citizen engagement (CueHit) — round out the suite, with PowerDMS and NEOED/SchoolJobs retained as focused sub-brands for public safety and education respectively.

The underlying technology is multi-tenant SaaS, certified to FedRAMP, GovRAMP, StateRAMP, TxRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-53 Moderate, with PCI-DSS self-certification, CJIS support, HIPAA, CCPA/GDPR, and WCAG AA/Section 508 conformance. AI is embedded across modules: Insight auto-screens with PII blinding, Vetted applies NLP and predictive scoring to background investigations, Attract uses a Virtual Recruiter for candidate matching, and the "AI for Government" assistive layer covers HR communications and workflow automation. Distribution is anchored by GovernmentJobs.com, a public sector job board reaching 20M+ job seekers, complemented by a Partner Marketplace of 40+ vendors and 1,000+ integrations.

NEOGOV monetizes through multi-product SaaS subscriptions sold on annual/multi-year contracts via enterprise field sales (demo/appointment-led), with add-on managed payroll services and implementation/training professional services; GovernmentJobs.com contributes a separate transaction-fee revenue stream from paid job postings and distribution to 25,000+ partner job sites. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, owned by EQT X Fund with CPP Investments as co-investor following a $3 billion acquisition in July 2025 that delivered a full exit for Carlyle Group and Warburg Pincus; the operating management team, led by CEO Shane Evangelist, continues to run the business.
