Maximize Every Credit, Miss Nothing

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: The Tax Credit You're Probably Leaving on the Table

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.

“We did training on WOTC with our staff, and we went from a 23% compliance rate to a 98% compliance rate on the program.”
