Placement marketplace

Match the file to the right PEO so both sides can close.

Brokers send one file to the PEOs they trust. PEOs quote the placements they were chosen for—not a public board. Add-ons for underwriting and HR proposals when you want answers in about 30 minutes. Seat pricing only—no commission cut.

Product overview

About 30 minutes

Brokers and PEOs both need the proposal back in minutes, not days.

The broker submits and waits on the PEO. The PEO gets the file and hears “how fast can you turn this?” Without add-ons, everyone lives in the data for hours. With underwriting and HR proposals on HALO, a complete proposal can be back in about 30 minutes.

"Same marketplace. Same clock. The seat is the rail. The add-ons are the speed."

The marketplace, in three moves.

Brokers and PEOs are aligned on this path. Different seats, different needs on the same placement.

The broker submits

One file: census, payroll, loss runs, and what the client needs. The broker picks the PEOs who should see it.

The PEO returns a proposal

The broker needs an answer, not a week in spreadsheets. The PEO quotes back on the placement they were sent.

The broker binds

Quotes land from the markets they chose. The commission stays with the broker. HALO takes no cut.

Workers’ comp rides with the placement.

Loss runs, class codes, and the experience mod are part of the packet the market opens. A PEO quote without the risk file is just a price.

Risk and underwriting on the same account the broker already placed—not a side spreadsheet.

12 months free. No cut. You choose the markets.

You choose

A placement goes only to the markets the broker selected.

No split

HALO charges for the system. The override stays with the broker.

No public list

Other PEOs cannot scroll your live deals and bid themselves in.

The file is the risk

Workers’ comp evidence sits on the packet, not in a side spreadsheet.

From people who have placed this business.

HALO comes from PEO and workers’ comp work, including Worklogic EPS. The marketplace is the placement desk brokers and MGAs already run, without handing the book to a general agency.

"The broker decides who gets the file. That is the whole product."

Start a placement on the markets you already use. The underwriter gets a link. The quote comes back to you.

Placement FAQ

How the marketplace works for brokers, PEOs, and MGAs.

Are brokers and PEOs on the same product?

Yes. Same placement marketplace. The broker submits to the PEOs they choose and needs a complete proposal back fast. The PEO gets the submission and needs to answer without days in spreadsheets. Underwriting and HR proposals are optional add-ons for that about-30-minute turnaround.

What does a broker get?

The marketplace seat: submit, choose markets, track quotes, keep the commission. You wait on the PEO for their proposal. Add proposal generation on your seat if you want a client-ready HR story while other PEOs are still sorting data.

What does a PEO get?

The marketplace seat: an inbox of files brokers sent to you only. You can take leads and run your existing systems—or add underwriting and HR proposals and return a complete proposal in about 30 minutes.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The marketplace seat is free for 12 months, but a valid credit card is required at signup (nothing is charged until the trial ends). You add the card in Stripe right after you create your account. After 12 months, billing starts automatically at $99 a seat per month unless you cancel. Underwriting, HR proposals, and parsing are billed separately when you use them.

What is included in the $99 seat?

The marketplace rail: Inbox IQ, ConnectIQ, Market IQ, and placement tracking. Underwriting and HR proposals are add-ons, not included in the seat. Parsing is extra, paid by whoever uploads the document.

Is HALO a public list of PEO deals?

No. A broker or MGA submits the account and chooses who receives it. Those markets can quote or decline. Every other PEO on the platform does not see the file.
