Insperity

What Insperity does

Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP, formerly Administaff) is a Kingwood, Texas-based Professional Employer Organization (PEO) founded in 1986 that delivers co-employment HR outsourcing to small, midsize, and large U.S. businesses. The company pays approximately 310,000 worksite employees on behalf of its clients and operates a field sales organization across 80+ offices in all 50 states, serving customers in financial services, technology, manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, and real estate. Insperity has been IRS-Certified as a CPEO since 2017 and is led by co-founder Paul J. Sarvadi (Chairman and CEO since 1989).

The company's technology backbone is the Insperity Premier platform, which integrates three product lines: Insperity HR360 (full-service PEO), Insperity HRCore (HCM platform built on isolved technology), and Insperity HRScale (PEO service model combined with Workday HCM, generally available since February 2026). Supplementary fee-based services include Contractor Management (powered by Wingspan), Talent Acquisition, Retirement Services, Insurance Services, and the Perks+ financial wellness program. The platform embeds an AI-enabled knowledge retrieval system that supports Insperity's HR specialists in delivering client guidance.

Insperity generates revenue primarily through subscription-based, per-employee-per-month fees for co-employment services that bundle payroll, benefits administration, compliance, risk management, and HR technology. Revenue is recurring in nature given the embedded nature of co-employment relationships. FY2025 revenue was $6.8 billion (+4% YoY), though profitability compressed materially during the year (EBITDA of $21M versus $148M in 2024), prompting a Q4 2025 restructuring that cut approximately 4% of non-sales headcount to reduce 2026 operating expenses by $20M. The company is publicly traded with approximately 93% institutional ownership, and institutional investors hold the majority of the float; CEO Sarvadi has been an active insider buyer in 2026.

Core offering

Insperity provides full-service HR outsourcing and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) co-employment solutions to small, midsize, and large U.S. businesses, bundling payroll processing, benefits administration (including health, retirement, and insurance), HR compliance, risk management, and dedicated HR specialist support. Its three core product tiers — HR360, HRCore (isolved-based), and HRScale (Workday-based) — are complemented by additional services spanning contractor management, talent acquisition, and employee perks.

Product overview

Insperity offers a three-tier HR solutions portfolio comprising three core products: Insperity HR360 (full-service co-employment PEO for small/midsize businesses), Insperity HRCore (HCM technology platform built on isolved for payroll/compliance/workforce management), and Insperity HRScale (scalable solution combining Insperity's PEO service with Workday's HCM technology for growing midsize businesses). These are supplemented by additional fee-based services including Contractor Management (powered by Wingspan), Talent Acquisition Services, Retirement Services, Insurance Services, and the Perks+ financial wellness program. The portfolio spans from basic HCM self-service to full-service co-employment, with the February 2026 HRScale launch representing the latest addition leveraging the Workday partnership formed in 2024.

Direct peers

• Paychex: Paychex is one of the largest publicly-traded PEO and payroll/HR outsourcing providers in the US, serving SMB and mid-market customers with bundled HR, payroll, benefits, and PEO services — directly comparable to Insperity's HR360 and HRCore offerings across overlapping customer segments.
• TriNet: TriNet is a publicly-traded PEO focused on small and mid-market businesses, providing co-employment, payroll, benefits administration, and HR advisory services — a direct competitor to Insperity's PEO model, particularly in the 50-149 and 150-5,000 employee segments.
• Justworks: Justworks is a tech-forward PEO serving small and mid-sized businesses with bundled payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR technology — a direct PEO competitor to Insperity's HR360 product, competing on user experience and pricing for the same SMB and mid-market buyer.
• Paylocity: Paylocity is a publicly-traded cloud HCM provider offering payroll, benefits, talent management, and workforce management to mid-market employers — a direct competitor to Insperity's HRCore and HRScale HCM technology stack, with overlapping mid-market customer focus.

Broad incumbents

• ADP (Automatic Data Processing): ADP is the largest incumbent in payroll and HR outsourcing globally, with its ADP TotalSource PEO arm competing directly with Insperity, while its RUN, Workforce Now, and Vantage HCM platforms span a much broader market footprint than Insperity's SMB/mid-market focus.
• UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group): UKG is a large, privately-held HCM and workforce management vendor serving mid-market and enterprise customers with payroll, HR, talent, and time/attendance solutions — overlapping with Insperity's HCM technology portfolio but operating at broader scale and without a co-employment PEO model.

Emerging players

• Rippling: Rippling is a fast-growing HCM and IT platform unifying HR, payroll, benefits, device management, and spend for SMB and mid-market employers — an emerging competitor to Insperity's HRCore and HR360, particularly appealing to tech-forward buyers seeking a single-vendor stack.
• Gusto: Gusto is a leading SMB-focused payroll, benefits, and HR platform — an emerging competitor in the very-small-business segment where Insperity also competes, with strong product-led growth traction among <50 employee companies.
• Asure Software: Asure Software is a smaller publicly-traded HCM and payroll provider serving SMB employers with payroll, HR, tax compliance, and benefits administration — an emerging, smaller-scale competitor with product overlap to Insperity's HRCore for the small-business segment.

Others

• Workday: Workday is both a strategic technology partner (powering Insperity HRScale) and a broader HCM competitor in the enterprise and mid-market — the partnership creates co-sell opportunity but also positions Workday as a potential channel conflict as it expands its own HR service capabilities.
