Help solve your toughest HR challenges in professional and technical services Today’s increasingly competitive environment presents countless challenges and opportunities for businesses in professional and technical services. Here are some of the ways ADP Marketplace partners complement RUN Powered by ADP® to help tackle your biggest challenges and free up time, so you can focus on growing your business.
ADP Marketplace partners can help! JazzHR
Finding and hiring skilled workers The number of U.S. tech professionals is poised to grow 13.1 percent over the next decade.1 There’s a good chance your business will need to tap into that talent, so it’s time to evaluate how you’re seeking out great candidates and ensuring they’re set up to succeed once hired. Recruiting, onboarding: Amplify your open positions with solutions that can help you recruit, screen and assess qualified candidates. Then, onboard staff with apps that collect essential new-hire information and share it directly and securely with your RUN Powered by ADP platform — no double data entry necessary.
Reducing time spent on administrative work Tracking hours to bill clients for work can be tedious and time-consuming — but it’s necessary in order to get paid and be profitable. What are you doing to decrease your workforce’s administrative burden and spend more time growing your business? Time and labor management: Help boost productivity, control costs and free up time with timekeeping and scheduling solutions from ADP Marketplace, integrated with RUN Powered by ADP. Seamlessly log hourly work, manage tasks, track project costs and more.
Managing staff turnover It’s no secret that losing an employee can be expensive.

ADP Marketplace solutions can help you increase engagement and keep your best people around for longer. Employee benefits: ADP Marketplace offers a wide variety of value-adds to help keep employees engaged and motivated, including apps for reward and recognition, performance management, financial wellness and more.
