What Polis does

Polis Inc, operating as Polis Way, is a privately held US staffing and HR services company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2010 in Forest Park, Georgia, in response to the 2008 recession's impact on the South Fulton community, the firm has grown from a single founder to approximately 50 employees serving clients nationwide. It operates a second office at 260 Peachtree St. NW Suite 402 in Atlanta and is incorporated as a Georgia corporation.

The company's offering is a six-product integrated services suite: Staffing Solutions (custom recruiting, screening, and onboarding), HR Outsourcing (payroll administration, compliance, talent acquisition, employee relations, benefits, and time tracking), Talent Search (strategic recruiting), Payroll (tax-compliant processing with direct deposit and mobile access), Risk Management (safety training, workers' compensation, and liability), and Benefits Administration (medical, dental, vision, and ancillary insurance). Underlying technology consists of an applicant database with filtering for recruiting, a centralized time-and-attendance system with mobile access, and an integrated payroll platform with real-time analytics. The website is built on Wix and the public job board runs on Freshteam; no proprietary AI/ML, app, API, or patents are disclosed, and the technology stack appears to be configuration of standard staffing-industry tooling.

The business model is sales-led B2B services revenue across three streams: staffing services (temp, temp-to-hire, direct hire, seasonal, executive search), managed HR outsourcing, and risk management services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm targets three size tiers (1-10, 11-100, and 100+ employees) and lists twelve-plus industry verticals, with construction, trades, industrial, and manufacturing as the primary focus. Customer acquisition is driven by direct consultative sales and a website/jobs-board presence, with no disclosed channel partnerships, funding rounds, or acquisitions.
