TempWorks

What TempWorks does

TempWorks Software, Inc. is a privately held, US-based vertical SaaS provider founded in 1997 by Gregg Dourgarian and headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota. The company builds an all-in-one staffing-agency software platform that unifies applicant tracking (ATS), customer relationship management (CRM), payroll and billing, tax management, time and attendance, and ACA administration on a single cloud-based database (built on Microsoft SQL Server). Core products include the Enterprise flagship platform (Windows-based, supporting both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployments), Beyond (100% cloud-based mobile ATS/CRM), Buzz (employee engagement with facial recognition and geolocation), HRCenter and WebCenter (applicant and multi-stakeholder portals), and SystemIQ (a native generative AI and automation layer).

TempWorks monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions on annual contracts sold via a direct, consultative field-sales motion, supplemented by professional services (consulting, implementation, training) and managed services including full-service payroll processing, tax filing, W-2 management, and payroll funding delivered in partnership with Lone Oak Payroll. The platform targets recruiting and staffing agencies of all sizes across the United States, from small business through enterprise (Manpower Reno is a named enterprise customer), and supports an integration ecosystem of 25+ partners spanning background checks, pay-cards, WOTC, benefits, assessments, and communications. The company has operated continuously under founding-family ownership, with David Dourgarian serving as CEO since 2012 and Brett Cavanagh as President, and has held SOC 2 Type II certification.
