Payroll providers have long been the silent heroes of the workforce, navigating compliance for clients and freeing up business owners from mountains of paperwork. But, in today’s tight labor market, cutting paychecks isn’t enough. If you want to be seen as an indispensable partner to your clients and not just another vendor, it’s time to help them solve their number one business pain: hiring.
We’re talking about giving clients direct access to a hiring tool that works and makes it easier to find local, reliable talent that stays around for longer. If hiring is their number one problem, it’s your number one opportunity. Here’s how to step up with a solution.
Hiring Is the Pain Point Payroll Companies Can Actually Fix
Your clients are overwhelmed. They’re running lean teams, losing good workers to burnout or better offers, and cycling through job boards with little success. Many don’t have an HR team, and they certainly aren't a fit for a full-blown ATS. They want real, practical help finding people who will actually show up.
If you’re only solving their payroll headaches but ignoring their hiring struggles, someone else will step in and do both.
By integrating a job-matching tool into your offering, you're giving your clients something every small business owner dreams of: less turnover, less stress, and less time wasted searching for workers who never reply.
What Should a Job Tool Offer Your Clients?
Not all job platforms are created equal. If you’re going to partner with one, or better yet, bake it into your service, it should check a few important boxes:
People-first strategy
Job seekers are tired of getting ghosted after applying to jobs. Employers are tired of job boards full of bots and bad fits. Platforms that utilize people-first hiring strategies, like video introductions, help employers and hourly workers connect on a human level, no resumes needed. It’s fast, personal, and incredibly effective for hourly hiring.
Local-first results
Long commutes take a serious toll on both mental and physical health, leading to burnout and lower productivity. Studies show that even dreading a stressful commute can cause emotional strain before the day begins, regardless of what happens during the trip itself, attributing to increased emotional exhaustion at work.
Because of this, it's safe to assume that employees who live closer to work are more likely to show up, stay longer, and save businesses money. It's important as a payroll provider to offer a talent attraction or job search tool that promotes local businesses primarily to its users, ensuring that job seekers are eliminating long commutes and clients are cutting down on absenteeism and turnover rates.
Real-time support
Your clients are busy. They don’t need another software tool that leaves them stranded with tutorials and ticket queues. When your client has questions, they should be able to speak to someone who understands small business hiring.
Live support builds trust and reduces frustration. Look for job tools that prioritize hands-on service and treat every employer, big or small, as a priority. Also, make sure the job tool you choose offers human support for everyone on their platform, with minimal bot interruptions.
Turnkey onboarding
Small business owners don’t have time to navigate complex onboarding guides. Most of them are juggling a dozen other tasks, including managing schedules or covering last-minute shifts, so hiring often happens on the fly. That’s why the tool you offer needs to be simple and intuitive.
Choose a hiring solution that removes friction and complex integrations for clients. The right job tool should work right out of the box and be easy enough for your least tech-savvy client to use in minutes.
Aligned with SMB needs
Most small business clients don’t need enterprise-level applicant tracking systems. They need applicants, period. Choose a platform designed for main street businesses, not Fortune 500 companies.
How Payroll Providers Can Solve Client Issues with a Job Tool
Here’s our take on what your clients are saying about their current hiring struggles, and how you can see right through them and give them the support they truly need:
“No one wants to work anymore.”
Translation: They’ve been relying on outdated job boards with minimal results.
“I can’t compete with big companies’ pay and perks.”
Translation: They’re not showcasing what makes them great, and don’t have the tools to do it.
“I don’t have time to hire someone.”
Translation: They need something fast and frictionless.
“We’re losing people faster than we can train them.”
Translation: They’re hiring workers who live too far away or lack real interest in the job.
Give your clients a job tool that solves these problems and you'll be the hero they never knew they needed.
Payroll Provider Perks of Offering a Hiring Tool
Helping your clients hire is smart business for your payroll company. Here’s how it benefits you:
Fewer client losses due to business closure or churn
Clients can’t process payroll for employees they don’t have. Help them stay in business by helping them hire better.
Revenue-sharing potential
Some job tools offer partnerships with revenue-sharing structures, meaning every client you sign on can turn into recurring revenue for you.
Increased product stickiness
When you become the one-stop-shop for payroll and hiring, your clients have fewer reasons to leave.
Stronger brand perception
You’re no longer just “the payroll people.” You’re the partner who helps them grow.
No need to upsell complex systems
Many small business clients find traditional ATS platforms overwhelming, expensive, or overbuilt. A lightweight hiring tool can meet them where they are and help make you look smart for offering it.
Want Loyal Clients? Help Them Hire
When you offer tools that make your clients’ lives easier—and their businesses more successful—you build trust, translating into higher retention, increased referrals, and a positive reputation.
