Background
One of our Referral Partners—an independent consultant—had a long-standing relationship with a small but growing staffing agency. The agency specialized in light industrial placements and had recently expanded into new territories. Their biggest roadblock? They couldn’t secure affordable workers’ comp coverage.
Their insurance quotes were either too expensive or denied altogether due to the classification of their workforce. Without a solution, the agency risked turning away new clients and stalling growth.
The Challenge
-
Couldn’t obtain WC coverage due to risk class and lack of premium history
-
Existing payroll provider didn’t offer back-office support
-
Compliance risk was growing as they added W-2 employees in multiple states
-
The agency owner was spending hours on HR tasks instead of building the business
The Referral
The consultant introduced VimHR as a workforce infrastructure solution. Within days, we connected with the agency owner, reviewed their situation, and explained how we could help:
-
VimHR would become the legal employer on paper
-
We would provide full WC and employment insurance coverage
-
We’d manage payroll, HR, and compliance behind the scenes
-
The agency could continue recruiting under its own brand without interruption
The Results
✅ Coverage secured: Agency began placing workers under VimHR’s insurance structure
✅ Immediate savings: Avoided $20K+ in annual premium costs
✅ Time freed up: Owner went from managing payroll manually to focusing on sales
✅ Growth unlocked: Expanded to 3 new clients within 60 days
✅ Referral payout: The consultant now earns 1%+ of gross payroll every pay cycle
What the Referral Partner Said
“VimHR gave me a real solution I could bring to my client. I wasn’t just offering advice—I brought them the partner that solved their biggest problem.”
