About Us

We are Engage PEO – the Professional Employer Organization that wants you to Expect More.

In 2011, Engage’s founder, Jay Starkman, set out to build a new kind of PEO. A PEO where the client experience and quality of service are the driving focus of everything. A PEO with an innovative business model. A PEO with a unique approach to HR delivery, and one that embraces brokers and agents creating a partnership that translates to added value for their mutual clients.

Fast forward to 2016, Engage was named the 127th fastest-growing private company in the country by Inc. Magazine, with an astounding three-year revenue growth of more than 2,700 percent. The same year, the company was also ranked as the fastest growing PEO in the country, the second among all human resource companies in the nation, and 12th of all companies in Florida. That was a tough act to follow but Engage has continued its remarkable record of sustained growth and success. Today, Engage is a market leading, national PEO licensed in all states with licensing requirements and serves clients in all 50 states.
