Employment Enterprises, Inc.

What Employment Enterprises, Inc. does

Employment Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) is a privately held, founder-owned staffing and workforce solutions company founded in 1980 and headquartered in Manassas, Virginia. It operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Checks and Balances, Inc., a national Employer of Record division that handles W-2 payrolling, 1099 independent contractor engagement and compliance, sub-vendor compliance, and a specialized real estate HR administration line; and Temporary Solutions, Inc., a staffing and recruiting division that delivers temporary staffing, temp-to-hire arrangements, permanent placement, and customized workforce solutions. The company serves clients ranging from small boutique organizations to Fortune 500 enterprises across all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and Canada, with functional focus on finance, accounting, human resources, marketing, administrative, clerical, customer service, and other professional positions.

EEI's revenue model is built on three streams: transaction-fee-based staffing and recruiting placements via Temporary Solutions, managed-services revenue from Checks and Balances EOR and contractor compliance engagements, and recurring subscription-like revenue from ongoing payroll administration across the workforce. Services are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for Fortune 500 accounts with direct employer outreach, dedicated subsidiary microsites, a self-serve job seeker portal, and content-led marketing across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and a network of HR-focused blogs. Average employee tenure of 15 years and four Inc. 5000 recognitions underpin a stated family-culture brand positioning.

The technology backbone integrates Bullhorn for applicant tracking and electronic time entry and PrismHR for employee portal and payroll processing. EEI overlays AI-assisted capabilities on this stack, including chatbots for candidate screening, generative AI for personalized candidate messaging, and workforce analytics for turnover and retention pattern detection, under a self-described "tech and touch" methodology that pairs digital tools with human recruiter engagement. The company is self-funded through operations, with no disclosed PE/VC or institutional ownership, and has reached a scale described as grossing in the millions annually on a 101-250 employee base.
