We’ve Been Breaking New Ground Since 1991.
1991: A New Era for Payrolling Begins
Before the contingent workforce had a playbook, we wrote the first chapter. In 1991, Magnit Global (PRO Unlimited at the time) launched the industry’s first third-party payrolling service, solving compliance challenges before most companies even saw them coming.
It was the start of a new standard: smarter workforce management built on trust, precision, and proactive thinking.
1994: The First Vendor-Neutral MSP Hits the Market
In 1994, we launched something the industry hadn’t seen before: a vendor-neutral MSP model. It gave clients the freedom to choose what worked best for them, not just what worked best for their providers. That mindset still guides us today.
1995: The Industry’s First VMS
Long before “vendor management” became an industry buzzword, GRI (now Magnit) built one of the first fully automated VMS platforms: PeopleNet. PeopleNet made it easier to manage suppliers, control costs, and get full visibility into your workforce. And today? That same spirit of simple, strategic tech still powers everything we build.
2004: Expanding the Strategy with Services Procurement
When we rolled out our Services Procurement solution in 2004, it gave companies a new way to handle project-based work. Instead of treating SOW contracts as a separate challenge, they became part of a bigger workforce strategy. That meant better cost control and fewer surprises when it came to risk and results.
2016: Direct Sourcing
Magnit took another major step forward in 2016 with the launch of Direct Sourcing. The goal was to empower companies to build branded talent pools and reduce their dependency on traditional supplier models—making the process faster, more cost-effective, and tailored to business goals.
2021-2022: From Many to Magnit
During this two-year stretch, several innovative companies came together under one roof: GRI, Workforce Logiq, WillHire, Brainnet, and PeopleTicker. As these teams came together, so did a clearer sense of who we are and what we stand for. The new name—Magnit—marked a turning point, rooted in the values that guide us today: accountability, diversity, long-term thinking, and a belief that business can be a force for good.
2024: The Industry’s First Outcome-Driven, AI-Powered Platform
2024 marked a shift in how companies manage their contingent workforce. That’s when we launched a platform that does more than automate tasks—it thinks ahead. Built with generative AI at its core, the system helps teams cut down on complexity and make better decisions with less friction. It brings data, sourcing, and strategy into one place, so every move is backed by insight.
Build the Future of Work and Your Own Career.
We help companies find and grow incredible talent every day, and we bring that same energy to our own teams. At Magnit Global, you'll find teammates who work hard, collaborate boldly, and are always pushing the industry to do better. If you're ready to grow your career and make an impact while doing it, we'd love to hear from you.
Doing Good is a Part of
the Job.
We believe business should leave people and the planet better than it found them. That’s why we build equity into every program, power our offices with renewables, and give our teams time to give back. From inclusive hiring to ethical governance, we’re doing the work—so work can work for everyone.
