Justworks is a professional employer organization (PEO) that provides bundled payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance services to small and medium-sized businesses. The company filed to go public in 2021 at a roughly $2 billion valuation but withdrew its S-1 in early 2022 as the IPO window closed, and remains private. Revenue was approximately $350M in 2024 with the company continuing to expand into standalone payroll and international EOR following layoffs of approximately 200 employees announced by CEO Mike Seckler.
