Staffing and Recruiting
Staffing and recruiting firms supply temporary workers such as turn crews, cleaners and front desk help, and recruit permanent leasing and maintenance staff. Some also offer temporary-to-hire arrangements.
Staffing and back office
Student housing runs on seasonal peaks, from leasing season to the turn, with teams that change every year. Staffing partners, HR, purchasing and back-office support keep the operation steady through all of it.

Where to start
The categories involved
Each one opens a short guide, then the suppliers who do the work.
Payroll, Benefits and HR
Payroll and HR providers pay your staff, withhold and file payroll taxes, and keep employee records, and many also handle benefits, time tracking and hiring paperwork. Some act as a co-employer and take on part of the HR administration for you.
Offshoring and Back-Office Support
Offshore and back-office providers supply remote teams that handle administrative work such as lease processing, accounts payable, data entry and resident follow-up. They work inside your systems under your direction so your on-site staff can focus on residents and tours.
Group Purchasing and Procurement
Group purchasing and procurement programs combine the buying power of many properties to get negotiated pricing from suppliers. They often include ordering platforms and spend reporting.
Legal, Collections and Eviction Services
Legal and collections providers include law firms and collection agencies that handle evictions, lease violations, unpaid balances and guarantor claims. They work within state landlord-tenant law and federal and state debt collection rules.
Property Management and Leasing Software
Property management and leasing software is the system of record for a property: it holds leases, the rent roll, resident ledgers, accounting and the resident portal. In student housing it also has to track individual beds, guarantors and next year's leases at the same time as this year's.
