The Alphabet Soup: EOR, AOR, PEO or ASO—What’s Right for Your Firm’s Growth Strategy? 

For IT staffing firms that want to focus on growth, placing talent in a dozen or more states and potentially foreign countries requires dealing with a frustrating reality: a mountain of administrative, legal, and compliance hurdles and risks. A solution lies in partnering with an outsourced provider who will handle these mundane but important back-office tasks.  But with an "alphabet soup" of choices—EOR, AOR, ASO, and PEO—which is the best option for your business?  It is a critical decision that directly impacts your firm's scalability and profitability.

This panel will demystify the differences among these business models. We will explore the critical factors every small and mid-size firm must consider before committing to a partner, from long-term growth objectives to the specific makeup of your contingent workforce. This session is designed to transform your back-office strategy from a burden into a competitive advantage, supporting accelerated growth and improved profitability.
