Evergreen Solutions

What Evergreen Solutions does

Evergreen Solutions, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned public-sector human capital consulting firm headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, founded in 2004. The firm delivers compensation, classification, staffing, organizational, and performance management consulting engagements to K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, local governments, and state agencies, with active client relationships reported across 47 U.S. states and selective overseas program assessment work. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services contracts (compensation and classification studies, organizational reviews, strategic planning, management and performance reviews) awarded via direct outreach and RFPs, supplemented by subscription revenue from the proprietary Job Performance Tracker (JPT) platform.

The firm operates a service-plus-platform model. Its consulting practice is organized into four dedicated vertical service lines — K-12, Higher Education, Local Government, and State Government — supported by proprietary instruments including the Job Assessment Tool (JAT), Management Issues Tool (MIT), a 100-page School District Performance Review Procedures manual, and K-12 benchmark and best-practices databases. The JPT platform and companion JobForce Manager extend these consulting assets into configurable, recurring software products covering competency-based evaluations, pay-for-performance scoring, succession planning, employee development workflows, and pay-plan modeling. W/MBE certification in Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, and Tennessee provides set-aside procurement access in government contracting channels.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales to public-sector buyers, with engagement-based pricing and an inbound "Request A Call Back" channel supported by conference attendance and proposal-driven business development. The firm is led by President Jeffrey Ling, PhD, CCP, ACE (since 2020), with founder Dr. Linda Recio serving as President Emeritus. Leadership includes senior practitioners with 20-45 years of public-sector HR experience and credentials such as CCP, PMP, SHRM-SCP, and IPMA-SCP.

Core offering

Evergreen Solutions provides project-based human resources, compensation, classification, staffing, organizational, and performance management consulting services to public sector clients across four dedicated practice areas: K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, local governments, and state government agencies. The firm supplements its consulting engagements with proprietary technology products, including the Job Performance Tracker (JPT) performance management platform and the JobForce Manager compensation/classification tool, and has served clients in 47 U.S. states over more than 20 years of operation.

Product overview

Evergreen Solutions operates a service-plus-platform offering for the public sector. Its consulting practice is organized into four dedicated service lines — Higher Education Consulting, K-12 Consulting, Local Government Consulting, and State Government Consulting — each focused on compensation, classification, performance management, and workforce strategy. The firm's flagship technology product, the Job Performance Tracker (JPT), is a configurable performance management platform used to support and operationalize those consulting engagements, with competency-based evaluations, automated pay-for-performance tools, real-time insights, measurable goal setting, and integrated succession and talent development capabilities. JobForce Manager is a companion compensation and classification tool that extends the JPT ecosystem with structured pay administration workflows. Together, the four consulting service lines and the JPT/JobForce Manager technology stack form a unified HR offering for public-sector clients.
