Boston-based staffing firm and MIT partner of 23 years offers MHEC members temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire staffing at pre-negotiated rates, without a separate bid.
BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ProPivotal, formerly Professional Staffing Group (PSG), an independently owned staffing firm headquartered in Boston since 1996, today announced that the Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC) has awarded it contract MC21-S04, Human Capital Solutions.
The contract runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. It gives MHEC members in Massachusetts, including colleges and universities, K-12 districts, municipalities, libraries and educational nonprofits, direct access to ProPivotal's temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire staffing at pre-negotiated rates through MHEC's competitively bid contract, eliminating the need for a separate solicitation under applicable procurement requirements.
MHEC is a nonprofit group purchasing organization with more than 2,700 member organizations across New England. Its contracts are publicly bid in a fair, open and competitive process, which saves members the time, cost and risk of running their own procurements.
For 23 years, MIT has trusted ProPivotal to fulfill more than 6,000 staffing assignments across administrative, finance, and HR functions. ProPivotal has also served as a preferred staffing partner to the Colleges of the Fenway. Its experience serving public institutions includes a five-year partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where it has fulfilled more than 2,000 healthcare staffing assignments supporting state-run hospitals, long-term care facilities, and public health programs.
"Higher education and public institutions have unique hiring rhythms: fiscal-year deadlines, semester start-ups, and compliance requirements," said Aaron Green, Founder of ProPivotal. "We've spent more than two decades learning those rhythms alongside institutions like MIT. Joining the MHEC contract means every Massachusetts member can get that same experience from our seasoned Boston-based team, at pre-negotiated rates and without the burden of a separate bid."
Through the MHEC contract, ProPivotal will staff administrative support, accounting and finance, human resources, IT, marketing and communications, development and advancement, operations, healthcare and leadership roles.
"MHEC members desire competitive pricing, easy procurement, and a partner who responds," said Laurie Fiumara, Owner & Senior Vice President of ProPivotal. "That's exactly how we've built our business. We're ready to support members from the first call."
MHEC members can get started by confirming their membership at mhec.net, contacting ProPivotal directly or through MHEC's Quote Desk, and referencing "MHEC-S04 Contract Pricing" on their purchase orders. More information is available at ProPivotal's MHEC landing page.
