Pros & Cons

Pros

✓

Iowa Exclusive and Locally Owned

Connectify is the only locally-owned PEO in Iowa, meaning leadership, account teams, and decision-making are all based in the state. Iowa businesses benefit from a partner that understands the local labor market, state compliance requirements, and community values in a way that national call centers cannot replicate.

✓

Exclusive HealthPartners UnityPoint Health Network Access

Connectify secured an exclusive partnership with HealthPartners UnityPoint Health, one of Iowa most recognized healthcare networks. Iowa-based employees gain access to a strong, local health plan that many small businesses could not access on their own.

✓

5-Star Local Service with No Call Center

Connectify operates with a direct-access model: no 1-800 numbers, no call center queues, and no generic support tickets. Every client has direct access to a local Iowa professional who knows their business - a service standard the firm has maintained a 5-star rating for.

−

Cons

−

Very New Provider - Limited Track Record

Founded in 2021, Connectify HR has a very short operating history compared to most PEOs in this directory. Businesses that prioritize a long track record of financial stability and operational consistency may want to consider more established providers alongside Connectify.

−

Iowa-First Focus

Connectify is built for Iowa businesses and delivers its strongest value to companies headquartered in the state. Businesses with employees spread across multiple states or planning multi-region expansion may find national providers with broader infrastructure a more suitable long-term partner.
