What Extensis Group does

Extensis Group, operating commercially as ExtensisHR, is a US-based Professional Employer Organization (PEO) headquartered in Woodbridge, New Jersey, providing HR outsourcing and co-employment services to small and mid-sized businesses. Founded in 1993 (with a 1997 operating-record reference), the firm operates with 101-250 employees and serves thousands of SMB clients across the United States. Its service portfolio spans the full PEO stack: payroll administration, benefits administration, compliance and risk management, HR support and guidance, and recruiting / recruitment process outsourcing, packaged as standard PEO, a premium tier (PEO Premier®), and a vertical-specific offering (PEO for Schools).

The technology layer is the Work Anywhere® platform, a mobile-first cloud suite comprising five integrated modules: HRCloud (core HR management), Performance Cloud (goals/performance tracking), Time & Labor Cloud (timekeeping and labor management), Knowledge Cloud (learning and knowledge management), and Recruiting Cloud (applicant tracking). A separate SchoolCloud® platform serves K-12 and charter-school customers. The company is IRS-accredited (CPEO), ESAC-certified for financial reliability, and operates as a subscription-based PEO with quote-based, per-employee or percentage-of-payroll pricing billed monthly.

Commercially, ExtensisHR runs a sales-led go-to-market targeting SMBs (startups, 10-100 employees, and 101+ employee mid-market clients) across verticals including healthcare, financial services and technology, industrial and skilled trades, media and consumer products, non-profits, and education. Distribution is augmented by a dedicated broker/HR-consultant channel and self-service assessment tools (HR Maturity Assessment, PEO ROI Calculator). Reported operational metrics include a 93% client retention rate, 90% same-day inquiry resolution, 15-second phone answer time, and 30-second live-chat answer time. The firm is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding events, or M&A.

Core offering

Extensis Group operates as ExtensisHR, a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) that co-employs client workforces to deliver integrated HR, payroll, benefits administration, workers' compensation, risk management, and compliance services to small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. The firm complements these services with Work Anywhere, its proprietary mobile-first HR technology platform, and offers a specialized PEO-for-Schools offering supported by SchoolCloud for K-12 educational institutions.

Product overview

ExtensisHR operates a platform-plus-modules architecture built around its core PEO (Professional Employer Organization) and HR outsourcing services for small and mid-sized businesses. The primary products are its standard PEO, PEO Premier® (the most comprehensive tier), and PEO for Schools (vertical-specific), which serve as the foundational co-employment offering. These are augmented by dedicated service modules: Benefits Administration, Compliance & Risk Management, HR Support & Guidance, Payroll Administration, and Recruiting. The technology layer is anchored by the Work Anywhere® platform — a mobile-first hub — which houses five integrated cloud modules: HRCloud (core HR management), Performance Cloud (goal and performance management), Time & Labor Cloud (timekeeping), Knowledge Cloud (learning and knowledge management), and Recruiting Cloud (applicant tracking and recruitment automation). A separate SchoolCloud® platform serves the education sector. The company also provides standalone tools including a PEO ROI Calculator, HR Maturity Assessment, and an eligibility fit assessment. The overall portfolio is designed so that SMBs subscribe to a PEO tier and gain access to the Work Anywhere® cloud suite, with additional standalone tools and resources available for self-service evaluation and planning.
