Evaluating PEO Proposal solutions for your company

Understanding your PEO quotes

The StaffMarket Request for Proposals (RFP) process delivers competitive quotes for PEO and HR Outsourcing solutions from our broad membership of providers. At StaffMarket our goal is to help your company understand the value using a Professional Employer Organization can provide for your company.

The Key Steps to shopping for the right PEO are:

1) Create your StaffMarket RFP to identify the most appropriate PEO service providers.


2) Obtain multiple PEO quotes and narrow the field to the “top” PEO companies.


3) Evaluate the value being offered in each PEO proposal in direct financial terms for your company.

After obtaining proposals for PEO and HR Outsourcing services, evaluating the value of each proposal for your company is the final step to making a decision. When evaluating your PEO quotes there are four major financial areas to consider.
