About QTI Human Resources

Certification Status

Not IRS CPEO Certified

QTI Human Resources does not currently hold IRS CPEO certification. This does not necessarily indicate a problem — many reputable PEOs operate without it. We recommend verifying their financial stability, NAPEO membership, and state licensing directly.

Pros & Cons

+
Pros
✓
65-Plus Years of Wisconsin Market Expertise
Founded in 1957, QTI has been part of the Wisconsin business community for over six decades. That longevity translates into deep relationships, trusted local knowledge, and an understanding of Wisconsin employment law and workers compensation that newer providers cannot replicate.
✓
Full HR Ecosystem Under One Roof
Beyond CPEO-certified PEO services, QTI offers staffing, professional and executive recruiting, compensation consulting, and HR advisory services. Clients can access the full employee lifecycle from sourcing and hiring through co-employment and compensation benchmarking through one partner.
✓
Industry Advocacy and Community Leadership
QTI played an active role in shaping Wisconsin PEO legislation through NAPEO and state government engagement. The company also maintains a strong community giving program and paid volunteer time policy - signals of organizational values that extend beyond client transactions.
−
Cons
−
Wisconsin and Upper Midwest Primary Coverage
With nine locations in Wisconsin and one sales office in Minneapolis, QTI delivers its strongest service to Midwest clients. Businesses with significant employee populations in other regions may find local PEOs in those markets offer more immediate, on-the-ground support.
−
Broad Focus Across HR Services
QTI serves a wide range of HR functions beyond PEO, including staffing and executive search. For businesses that want a provider entirely focused on co-employment and benefits administration depth, a pure-play PEO specialist may offer more concentrated expertise in those areas.
