New paycard partners help get workers paid faster
We’re excited to launch a brand new category of Marketplace Partners that will help close the loop on one of the most important aspects of your staffing practice: getting your people paid. Our new paycard partnerships offer you a fast, flexible way to pay workers, improving the overall experience for talent and driving their loyalty to your firm. This solution makes it easier for staffing clients to discover and integrate leading paycard solutions, offering a faster, more flexible way to pay candidates. This new category of partners allows staffing firms to streamline payroll and provide a more seamless experience for their workforce.
Why paycards matter – and the benefits they bring
Paycards help recruitment agencies meet the evolving needs of today’s workforce while streamlining payroll operations. For workers, they provide a faster, more flexible alternative to paper checks or traditional bank accounts, especially for unbanked or underbanked workers. Employees can access wages immediately without delays, manage expenses more easily, and use mobile apps to check balances, track transactions, and transfer funds anytime. A gig worker, for example, could receive a paycheck on Friday and instantly pay weekend bills right from their phone.
For agencies, paycards reduce administrative overhead and create a smoother, more unified payment journey. By integrating with the Bullhorn Talent Platform, enrollment can happen directly during onboarding, allowing candidates to move seamlessly from accepting a job to receiving their first paycheck.
Agencies gain flexibility and minimize manual data entry and payroll errors through integrated provider options like:
- Branch: Enrollment automatically flows Bullhorn Talent Platform into the Bullhorn ATS, creating a seamless experience.
- rapid! PayCard: Recruiters can distribute and register cards on demand, offering an efficient solution.
This flexibility allows payroll teams to spend less time on paperwork and more time on higher-value activities.
Offering flexible, fast pay options helps agencies stand out in a competitive market. Candidates notice when an agency goes the extra mile to meet their financial needs, building trust quickly. For many workers, especially those living paycheck to paycheck or managing gig-based schedules, the ability to access funds immediately can be the difference between taking one job over another.
Workers who feel empowered with modern pay solutions are more likely to stay loyal and recommend the agency to their networks. Over time, that translates into higher retention rates, stronger referrals, and a reputation as an agency that genuinely invests in its people.
Why now?
More than half of light industrial staffing firms are actively automating payroll and billing processes, and nearly 90% of candidates report that mobile devices are essential in their job search. Workers today expect speed, convenience, and control over how they are paid, and agencies that deliver on these expectations clearly stand out. Mobile-friendly pay solutions attract top talent and improve retention across the workforce.
What this means for agencies
The adoption of paycards goes beyond operational efficiency. It allows agencies to reduce administrative burdens, provide faster payments, and offer modern, mobile-friendly solutions that meet candidate expectations. Satisfied candidates are more likely to stay with the agency or refer friends. They may even write a positive review or two. In other words, paycards help agencies attract and retain talent while simultaneously saving them time and resources.
Hear from one of our customers:

When the process is followed as designed in Bullhorn onboarding, the integration is seamless and requires no additional lift from our internal teams,” said Libby Reyna, Human Resources Generalist at The Liberty Group.
