Case Study: Paylocity recruits and retains top technical talent with Pluralsight

Paylocity recruits & retains employees through an investment in learning

Paylocity, a Chicago-based payroll and human capital management SaaS provider, needed to attract and retain skilled engineers—many of whom work remotely—while rapidly upskilling teams for new projects. Competition for technical talent and the need to quickly learn emerging technologies created hiring and retention challenges.

Paylocity addressed this by giving every employee access to Pluralsight’s on-demand, bite-sized training (an investment under $50/month per person), using courses to ramp engineers on Angular, ASP.NET security, Git and more. The result: stronger candidate interest during recruiting, faster onboarding, reduced turnover, measurable skill growth that enabled internal promotions, and more confident teams delivering cutting‑edge products.
