Federal and state tax credits offer ongoing savings, but capturing them requires expertise, automation, and follow-through. We manage the process, integrate with your applicant tracking system, identify eligible candidates, screen automatically, and secure every credit.
From the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) to location-based incentives, our compliance analysts handle certifications, agency follow-up, and documentation so your recruiters and payroll teams stay focused. This maximizes credit capture, ensures compliance, and delivers returns.
WOTC is a federal program that rewards employers for hiring individuals from targeted groups, including veterans, individuals receiving long-term unemployment benefits, SNAP recipients, and ex-felons. Every eligible hire who meets the minimum hours threshold earns your organization between $2,400 and $9,600 in federal tax credits, with no cap on the total credits you can earn.
Our Tax Credits & Incentives program covers a wide range of federal and state opportunities, each managed with the same expertise, automation, and dedicated support that defines everything we do.
Eligible hires can earn between $2,400 and $9,600 in federal tax credits. Our automated screening identifies every candidate and captures each opportunity. We handle certification, follow-up, and documentation throughout.
Businesses in Empowerment Zones may save up to $3,000 per qualifying employee. We identify eligibility, manage certification, and ensure every available credit is captured.
Many states offer hiring-based tax credits and youth employment incentives, including New York Youth Jobs and Maryland Hire Our Youth. Our team monitors every state program across all jurisdictions, ensuring every opportunity within your workforce footprint is identified and captured.
When you expand, relocate, or create jobs, you may qualify for negotiated incentives and training grants. We help identify and secure these opportunities.
Our Tax Credits & Incentives solution is built around your processes, not the other way around. Whether you connect via API, flat file, or direct ATS integration, our technology and team work in the background so your hiring process stays uninterrupted.
The same data file or API that powers your Unemployment Cost Management, Employment & Wage Verification, and Offboarding Compliance programs can also drive your Tax Credits & Incentives screening, with no additional data lift required. When your solutions are connected, your compliance ecosystem runs more efficiently and your ROI compounds across every service.
