5 Proven Ways To Help Payroll Clients with Simplifying Hiring

Let’s face it—today’s job seekers expect convenience. Just like consumers shop on Amazon or book rides on Uber, applicants want the job search to be fast, digital, and mobile. The easier it is to apply, the better the results! And when you help your clients embrace that mindset, you create a better experience for them and unlock new value as their payroll or PEO partner.

Here are five ways you can help your clients simplify hiring—and how solutions like Juvo Jobs make it turnkey.

5 Ways to Help Payroll Clients With Hiring

1. Help Clients Keep Applications Short and Sweet

If a job application feels longer than a DMV visit, that’s a problem. According to SHRM, 92% of people never even finish online applications. Encourage your clients to test their own hiring process—they may be shocked at how much friction it creates.

✅ Pro Tip: The shorter the process, the more applicants they’ll get. Trusted brand Home Depot boosted applications by 80% simply by trimming the fluff.

🔑 What to tell your clients: Focus on what job seekers care about—like pay rates—and eliminate anything that doesn’t need to be in the first step.

2. Go Digital, Go Mobile

80–90% of hourly workers rely on their phones or tablets to search for jobs, and the largest demographic of the hourly workforce, Gen Z, are primarily using social media alone to find jobs! Yet, many businesses are still asking applicants to fill out paper forms or apply through clunky desktop portals.

That’s a missed opportunity.

With Juvo, your clients get a fully mobile-first hiring experience, built to meet job seekers where they are—on their phones.

As their payroll or PEO partner, you can be the hero by offering modern hiring tools that reduce manual labor and get people in the door faster.

3. Say Goodbye to Resumes

Let’s be honest—resumes are rarely a good indicator of hourly worker success. Many great candidates don’t have the tools or experience to build a polished resume, and requiring one can stop them from applying altogether.

Instead, recommend your clients focus on real conversations—like video chats or intro videos—over PDFs. Juvo makes this easy, as candidates introduce themselves via video right away so hiring managers can get a feel for personality and fit as soon as possible.

And if a client insists on resumes? Please, beg them not to ask candidates to upload it and type the same info into a form. Nobody has time for that.

4. Help Them Avoid Hiring Overload

Some employers make hiring way harder than it needs to be. Multiple interviews, drawn-out approvals, endless back-and-forth—it doesn’t help anyone, especially in today’s tight labor market.

Here’s where you can guide them: more steps ≠ better hires.

Advise clients to:

• Ask key questions early.

• Respond quickly (within the first couple of days).

• Streamline internal decision-making.

  
  

When they move faster, they win talent before competitors do. And they’ll thank you for the results.

5. Encourage a Human, Fun Hiring Experience

Hiring shouldn’t feel robotic. Remind your clients that job seekers are evaluating them, too. A little personality can go a long way.

With Juvo, your clients can upload a short video showcasing their workplace and culture—no fancy equipment needed. It makes the business feel approachable, personal, and trustworthy.

👀 And bonus: candidates are far more likely to engage with a short video than a long job description.

Bottom Line: You Can Deliver More Than Payroll

As a payroll or PEO provider, you have a unique opportunity to solve real problems for your clients—starting with hiring. By offering modern hiring tools like Juvo Jobs, you simplify their workflow, reduce administrative burden, and help them attract better talent faster.

And for you? That means stickier clients, more revenue opportunities, and a clear differentiator in a crowded market.
