Perquest Inc., a fast-growing online payroll company, has struck a deal to move its head offices and entire local operation to Dublin.
By February, Perquest will leave its existing offices in downtown Oakland and head to Dublin Corporate Centre, an office complex that has been landing new tenants lately besides Perquest, including Tria Beauty.

“In terms of recruiting, affordable housing, retaining employees, it sounded good to be out in the Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, San Ramon area,” said Thomas Sinton, Perquest’s president and chief executive officer.

About 75 employees will relocate to Dublin in the move, Sinton said. Perquest scouted sites all over the East Bay before picking Dublin.

“A lot of our employees live in the Tri-Valley already,” Sinton said. “We even have people commuting from Mountain House (near Tracy) and Modesto.”

Perquest agreed to lease 38,000 square feet at 4160 Dublin Boulevard in a deal arranged through Colliers International realty brokers.

The move brings into the Tri-Valley market a company that may well be on a growth path.

“Perquest is the type of company that has the potential to expand in this market,” said Ted Helgans, senior managing partner with Colliers.

Other tech firms located in the area, such as Pleasanton-based Polycom Inc., Sybase Inc. and Workday Inc., along with Dublin-based Taleo Inc., have experienced solid employment growth. And now-defunct PeopleSoft Inc. was a growth rocket for a number of years before Oracle Corp. bought it.
