A New Chapter for Wizehire, Accelerating your Growth with Paychex

Wizehire joins Paychex. A note from Sid on what this means for your hiring, and why two companies built around Main Street make such a natural fit.

I’m excited to share that Wizehire has joined Paychex!

For businesses like yours, success starts with the right team. But finding top talent has become harder than ever before.

That’s why we built Wizehire to be your partner in some of the most personal and high-stakes decisions of running your business: hiring and building your team. Whether you were hiring your first manager, adding a new location, or filling some very big shoes, we’ve been honored to be a part of journeys, like yours, over the past decade.

Building a business takes a village

Running your business is hard enough without having to be an expert in everything. This is why the fastest growing companies rely on trusted advisors to bring the knowledge, tools, and advice.

For more than 50 years, Paychex has helped businesses manage the complexities of growth—from handling payroll and benefits to HR and compliance. Like Wizehire, Paychex combines leading technology with expert support, so you can be worry-free and focus on growing your business. 

Our shared approach for supporting Main Street is what makes this such a natural partnership. It’s about giving you more time and confidence to build your business.

Investing in your growth

Following this acquisition, Wizehire will power hiring for more than 800,000 businesses, as Wizehire becomes a core part of Paychex’s product suite. Earlier today we announced the launch of WISE Hire, our first AI-enabled recruiting solution built for Paychex customers. 

With more resources behind us, we plan to accelerate our investment in both the technology and expertise you need to build a great team. If you’d like to learn more about what we have in store or learn about how this partnership can accelerate your own business, be sure to join our webinar tomorrow (9/24) with Bill Allen from Paychex’s PEO.

Thank You

To our team, both past and present, thanks for your hard work and living our values. Together, we’ve helped more than 400,000 people find incredible jobs. What we’ve built is only the beginning, and our very best work lies ahead!

To our investors, thank you for your belief in our team and supporting us through every step of the journey.

Finally, to our customers, thank you for choosing Wizehire and trusting us with your hiring process. Your partnership and your feedback have shaped Wizehire and given us the inspiration to go on this journey.

We’re always rooting for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

We know that’s the first question some people will have. Your relationship stays the same: same hiring coaches, same login, same people picking up the phone when you call. What changes is a greater investment behind us in technology and coaching you already rely on.

No, Wizehire will continue to operate separately and work exactly as it does today. There’s nothing for you to move or sign up for. If you do already run payroll or benefits through Paychex, hiring can now sit alongside them, which is one less thing to keep track of. Either way, the choice stays yours.

Your coach stays your coach. The coaching team is a big part of why this partnership made sense in the first place, so we’re investing in it rather than scaling it back.

Your plan, your price, and your renewal date stays the same.
