Six modules. One contingent workforce platform.
ENGAGE replaces the patchwork most contingent programs run on: an ATS, a VMS, a separate EOR portal, a spreadsheet for 1099 risk, and a reporting tool that doesn't see across the program. One system, one data model, one login.
Applicant Tracking System
Source, screen, and offer in-house. ENGAGE is a full ATS (careers page, candidate pipeline, structured interview kits, offer generation, e-sign) purpose-built for teams hiring contingent and direct workers side by side.
- Branded careers page + job listings
- Pipeline + candidate CRM
- Structured screening + interview kits
- Offer generation and e-sign
- One-click conversion: candidate → 1099 or W-2 EOR
- Free for HQ Simple clients
Vendor Management System
Stop paying an MSP 2-4% to manage your staffing suppliers. ENGAGE gives you the same vendor controls procurement teams expect (req routing, rate cards, supplier scorecards, consolidated invoicing) without the layer above.
- Multi-vendor req routing + distribution rules
- Published rate cards + tiered approvals
- Supplier scorecards + diversity reporting
- Time + expense capture, consolidated invoicing
- Spend analytics with GL coding
- SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, full audit log
International EOR Portal
Country-aware onboarding, payroll, and compliance for every worker outside your home market. The four direct countries we operate in run inside ENGAGE end-to-end; partner countries flow through with the same clean interface.
- Country-specific onboarding flows + document checklists
- Multi-currency payroll, FX-transparent
- Statutory benefits + leave tracking by jurisdiction
- Right-to-work and visa documentation
- Pay-stub access in-platform for the worker
- Full audit trail per country, per worker
1099 Project + Compliance
Treat 1099s like a real program, not a Rolodex. Project-level engagement tracking, AI-assisted classification scoring on every active contractor, and an audit file that's already compiled when an auditor asks.
- Engagement-level project + scope tracking
- AI risk scoring on classification factors
- ABC, IRS 20-Factor, and Borello assessments
- 1099-NEC and 1042-S issuance
- Treaty-aware withholding for international ICs
- Audit-ready file packet, generated continuously
Program-wide Reporting & Visibility
One dashboard for the entire contingent workforce: directly hired, EOR-employed, and supplier-sourced. Spend, headcount, time-to-fill, supplier mix, and compliance posture in views your finance team and program owner can both read.
- Live spend dashboard with drill-down to engagement
- Headcount mix: direct, EOR, IC, supplier-sourced
- Time-to-fill, time-to-onboard, NPS
- Compliance posture: classification, audit readiness
- Quarterly export packets for finance and procurement
- Custom views with role-based access
MSP Self-Management
The reason ENGAGE exists as a separate product. Companies that want to run their contingent program without a markup-funded MSP layer can stand up the program directly inside ENGAGE, and call HQ Simple's service team only when they want a human, not a markup.
- Run your supplier network directly, no middle layer
- Bring your own MSAs and rate cards
- Replace MSP reporting with ENGAGE dashboards
- Optional managed-service add-on by the hour
- Migrate from an existing MSP with our exit-planning team
- Recover the 2-4% spend lift back into your budget
ENGAGE talks to the systems your team already uses.
Two-way sync with your HRIS, finance, and comms stack. SAML SSO. SCIM provisioning. None of it costs extra.
