Agile Partnering

What Agile Partnering does

Agile Partnering is a US-based staffing-industry services firm founded in 2016 and headquartered at 228 Park Ave S, New York. The company provides Employer of Record (EOR), Business Process Outsourcing (Agile Turnkey™), and embedded payroll funding services to UK and US staffing firms placing contract workers in the United States and Canada. Its primary customer segments are UK recruitment agencies seeking entry into the higher-margin US market — described as roughly 50% more profitable than the UK — and US-based staffing firms seeking to launch or scale contract operations without building in-house back-office infrastructure.

The company's core technology is Agility™, a proprietary cloud platform built on the Salesforce ecosystem that automates contractor onboarding, timesheet management, invoicing, payroll processing, and multi-state tax compliance across all 50 US states and Canada. Supporting integrations include ADP for payroll processing and DISA Global Solutions for background screening. The platform supports 48–72 hour contractor onboarding and provides dedicated portals for staffing firms, clients, and candidates.

Agile operates a service-led, sales-driven GTM with three interconnected revenue streams: subscription-based EOR fees (percentage of worker pay rate), monthly per-worker Turnkey pricing, and transaction-based invoice factoring and payroll funding (1–5% take rate on 80–90% invoice advances). The company is founder-led by CEO Charles Causey, has 1–10 employees, and has been recognized as an INC 5000 fastest-growing private company. No external institutional funding is disclosed in the source material.

Revenue model

1. Agile EOR™ Services: Employer of Record services where Agile becomes the legal employer of record for contractors. Pricing is typically a percentage of the worker's pay rate. Three models offered: Full Service EOR, White Label EOR, and potentially Agent of Record arrangements.
2. Agile Turnkey™ Model: Business Process Outsourcing model where clients maintain their own FEIN and corporate identity while Agile manages administrative workload. Uses monthly base rate per worker pricing model, allowing full revenue recognition and significant cost reduction compared to EOR fees.
3. Agile Funding™ / Payroll Funding: Embedded funding built into EOR and Turnkey services. Provides 100% cash advances so staffing firms never wait on client checks. Offers both recourse and non-recourse options. Also includes invoice factoring services with advances of 80-90% of invoice value.
4. Back-Office Administration Services: Comprehensive administrative services including worker onboarding/offboarding, timesheet management, invoicing, accounts receivable, payroll processing, and reporting. Offered as part of EOR services or standalone.

• Globalization Partners: Enterprise-focused EOR provider enabling companies to hire in 180+ countries without entities; overlaps Agile's EOR model for staffing firms expanding internationally, though Agile is staffing-specialized.
