PeopleShare

What PeopleShare does

PeopleShare is a US-based staffing and recruiting agency headquartered in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, that connects employers with workers across clerical and light industrial roles including accounting, administration, customer service, and warehouse operations. Founded in 2005 and operating as the US arm of global staffing firm PROMAN, the company runs 40+ local branch offices across eight states (DE, FL, IL, MD, NC, NJ, PA, SC, VA), placing more than 4,000 employees on assignment at any given time and over 100,000 people since inception. The company has been recognized on SIA's North America Staffing 100 list for 12 consecutive years, currently ranked #18, and was previously included on the Inc. 5000 list.

The company's service offering spans temporary staffing, temp-to-hire placements, direct hire placements, and three specialized modules: Synch (a Managed Service Provider platform for centralized vendor management), The Insurance LAB (insurance-licensed agent staffing), and Strategic Solutions for complex hiring needs. Operationally, PeopleShare relies on a relationship-based field-sales distribution model with dedicated local staffing consultants in each branch, supported by digital infrastructure including the MyAvionte employee portal for timesheet submission, W-2/W-4 instructions, and benefits access, a client portal for timesheet approval, and pre-recorded candidate video interviews intended to reduce client interview time. A stated quality differentiator is a three-touch candidate screening process in which every candidate is interviewed three times before placement.

Revenue is generated primarily through markup on temporary worker wages (with PeopleShare handling payroll, benefits, and compliance on the W-2 side), one-time direct-hire placement fees, and MSP/vendor management fees. The company has expanded through a combination of organic branch openings and acquisitions — notably DecisionPathHR in October 2022 (four Charlotte, NC locations) and Best Practices Staffing in September 2019 — and received investment from Trivest Partners in 2015. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with industry norms.
