40Hrs

What 40Hrs does

40HRS is a privately held, diversified staffing and HR services firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in San Jose, California. The company's core business is executive search and direct-hire placement of high-level and management professionals across technology, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, and professional-services verticals, supplemented by contract staffing, payroll outsourcing with employer-of-record logistics, and IT staff augmentation.

The firm operates through a portfolio of wholly-owned operating units: 40HRS IT Services (technical talent delivery, software development, dedicated teams, and outsourcing); HiTech Insurance Services (insurance and risk-management agency); 40EMS, INC (electronics manufacturing services from design to production); and AloSoft/HeadhuntPro (recruitment management SaaS — Starter at $19/user/month and Pro at $39/user/month — with applicant tracking, candidate management, KPI reporting, and calendar/reminder workflows). The underlying technology is a conventional applicant-tracking and recruitment-management stack; no proprietary AI or ML components are described.

Commercially, 40HRS sells primarily through direct engagement by senior consulting staff (10+ years experience), supported by a self-serve job board on 40hrs.us and a dedicated IT Services microsite. Revenue derives from professional-services billings on placed candidates (hourly rates $17-40; annual salaries $65K-$185K per public job postings), managed-services fees on payroll/EOR engagements, and software subscriptions on AloSoft. The firm operates from seven California offices — San Jose (HQ), Fremont, Milpitas, San Carlos, Newark, and Hayward — serving an enterprise client base that includes Comtech Xicom Technology, Zerochaos (VMS program partner), and Unitek, where it holds "primary" or "preferred" staffing supplier status.
