About Simploy

Simploy is a Boise, Idaho-based PEO providing co-employment services including payroll, employee benefits, HR administration, workers' compensation, and compliance support to small and mid-sized businesses across the Mountain West and Pacific Northwest regions.

Certification Status

Not IRS CPEO Certified

Simploy 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
✓
ClearlyRated Best of HR Services Award
Simploy has earned the ClearlyRated Best of HR Services Award, one of the few industry recognitions based entirely on verified client satisfaction ratings rather than self-reported data or pay-to-play nominations. This is a meaningful independent signal of service quality in a market where many providers make unverifiable service claims.
✓
Flexible Full-Service or Supplemental Model
Simploy can function as a complete outsourced HR department or work alongside an existing internal HR team to fill specific gaps. This flexibility allows businesses to engage Simploy at whatever level matches their current HR infrastructure and budget.
✓
CPEO Certification with St. Louis Roots
IRS CPEO certification combined with 30-plus years of PEO industry roots in St. Louis gives Simploy both the institutional credibility and the regional market depth that national providers may offer less authentically to Midwest-based businesses.
−
Cons
−
Limited Public Company Profile
Simploy operates with a lower public profile than nationally marketed PEOs. Businesses conducting broad PEO evaluations may find fewer third-party reviews and analyst write-ups available compared to providers with significant brand marketing investments.
−
Midwest Regional Core
Simploy built its client base and operational model in the St. Louis region and Midwest. While it serves clients nationally, companies in distant markets may find regional PEOs with local presence closer to their workforce better suited to face-to-face support needs.
PEO Authority Editorial Note

Simploy traces its roots to The Varsity Group, a St. Louis PEO founded in 1990, which was acquired by Jay King in 2004 and eventually rebranded as Simploy. Today, Simploy is a national IRS CPEO certified Professional Employer Organization headquartered in the St. Louis region, serving clients across dozens of states. The firm has earned the ClearlyRated Best of HR Services Award - an independent honor based entirely on verified client feedback - reflecting consistent service quality across its client base.
