Expert Analysis
PGC Group is the North American arm of Workwell Global, and the longest serving Employer of Record focused on the US and Canada. Founded in 2000, it acts as the direct W2 employer in all 50 states and built its reputation as the US back office for UK and European recruitment agencies. Strengths are onboarding within 24 hours once an account is live, a full insurance stack, benefits with no headcount minimum, a dedicated US based relationship manager who also supports employees, and one flat monthly fee with no setup, termination or broker charges. Through Workwell Global, clients can also add EOR and payroll coverage in 60+ countries, so a PGC relationship can scale beyond North America. Trade offs are that global hires run on Workwell's separate portal rather than the Precision platform, Precision has no public API or HRIS integrations, pricing is not published, and independent client reviews are almost nonexistent. It is the strongest choice for America first expansion with the option to go global later. Companies that need many countries on a single unified platform from day one should compare a global first provider.
About PGC
Hiring in the United States means complying with federal, state and local employment law at the same time, offering ACA compliant employee benefits, and working within at will employment rules that differ across all 50 states. PGC Group acts as the Employer of Record for your US and Canadian staff so you can hire without setting up a local entity.
Founded in Seattle in 2000 as Precision Global Consulting, PGC found its niche in 2007 serving UK staffing agencies placing contractors in the US. It became operational in every US state and launched in Canada in 2009, launched its fully outsourced employment model in 2014, and built its own Precision EOR platform in 2016. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas with offices in New York City, the United Kingdom and Barcelona.
In April 2024 PGC was acquired by UK based Workwell and now operates as the North American division of Workwell Global. Clients can add EOR and global payroll coverage in 60+ further countries through Workwell's separate platform, while PGC itself remains focused on direct employment in the US and Canada.
