Industry-specific HR for growth-stage and mid-market companies
Our take
TriNet's industry-specific approach is genuinely differentiated — their tech and biotech HR models understand things like stock option administration and research compliance that generic PEOs miss. The percentage-of-payroll pricing is the main watch-out, and the Q1 2026 WSE decline is worth diligencing with their sales team during your evaluation. We've seen TriNet costs balloon 40% in two years purely from salary growth, which is why we always push for capped pricing structures or PEPM conversion.
