This expands the pool of prospective candidates and gives us access to candidates who might not have ever applied for a position on our website’s career page,” said Jeff McGee, vice president at W3 Insurance.\n\n“HireQuotient’s AI-native product helped my team at Alliance Building Services to cut down time to close position by more than 60%, and their team works very closely with the client to ensure adoption at scale,” said Willow Marcon, senior vice president at Alliance Building Services.\n\nRecruiters in manufacturing, building services, construction, healthcare and insurance often spend more than two-thirds of their time on manual work and using over 10 platforms to just close a hire: sourcing a wide range of profiles, skimming resumes, finding contact information, reaching out and doing hundreds of calls and constant follow-ups. That fragmented process leads to recruiter burnout and leaves gaps in candidate data. Because most HR platforms don’t offer built-in AI native agents that work in tandem to do all it takes to close the hire, employers in these industries have faced hiring delays and platform churn.\n\nThe partnership addresses this gap by integrating HireQuotient’s EasySource platform directly into the Paylocity ecosystem. Instead of relying on rigid keyword searches, EasySource identifies strong talent pools, screens for role-specific credentials and licenses and personalizes outreach by phone and email. For mid-market companies with 500 to 1,000 employees, that translates to a 70% faster time-to-hire and an estimated $100,000 in annual savings.\n\nThe integration also closes the feedback loop for employers. By feeding post-hire data back into the recruiting system, EasySource learns from successful hires to build smarter talent pools over time, while keeping recruiters engaged longer by freeing them to focus on the human side of hiring.\n\nGokul Rajaram, board member at Coinbase and former board member of The Trade Desk (Nasdaq: TTD), and also known as the godfather of Google AdSense, said, “Smarthveer is one of those rare founders who picks an unglamorous, deeply underserved market and refuses to leave until it’s fixed. Frontline hiring is exactly that market. Being named to Paylocity’s elite partner network is a testament to his relentlessness and to the team he’s built. Excited for what’s ahead.”\n\n“Paylocity maintains an elite partner network, so being named one of them is a testament to the strength of our product,” said Smarthveer Sidana, founder and CEO of HireQuotient. “By keeping that recruiting activity inside the Paylocity ecosystem, we’re helping them close a critical gap for their employers, capture revenue that previously sat outside their platform, and prevent the client churn that comes with a fragmented hiring process.”\n\nJim Moffatt, former global CEO of Deloitte Consulting and board partner at Greycroft VC, said,\n\n“This is a big milestone for Smarthveer and his team. I congratulate them on this big win. Paylocity’s large client base acts as a strong distribution, and HireQuotient’s EasySource acts as a strong product to cater to the needs of Paylocity’s clients. Paylocity is known for its highly selective approach, and I’m glad to see that after months of evaluation and extensive due diligence, they’re going live with HireQuotient’s EasySource. I feel confident in the value this partnership will create for frontline industries. I remember when Smarthveer spoke to me about it in December, and it felt very ambitious. I’m glad to see it turn to reality.”\n\nFor employers with a traditionally deskless workforce in industries where AI adoption has lagged, the integration bridges a major capability gap by allowing them to source, screen, onboard and manage payroll all in one place.\n\nFor more information, visit [www.hirequotient.com](http://www.hirequotient.com).\n\nA media kit with additional partner quotes, executive headshots and logos can be found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XZQE4etoLPgzNO94Y8I1-YX7ODyj8AnA?usp=sharing).\n\n**About HireQuotient**\n\nHireQuotient is an AI-native recruiting platform that automates candidate sourcing and screening for employers in manufacturing, building services, construction, healthcare, insurance and other frontline-heavy industries.
