Find & Compare Staffing Agencies in Your Area!

Staffing agencies recruit, screen and place workers: temporary staff to cover a leave or a seasonal rush, temp-to-hire arrangements that let both sides try the fit, direct-hire searches for permanent roles, and day-labor crews for warehouses, events and construction. Many specialize by field, such as clerical, medical, hospitality, light industrial or skilled trades. Employers come here short-handed; job seekers come looking for a faster route into work.

Many states license or register employment agencies, so ask for the license number where that applies. For temporary staff, the agency is the employer of record and handles payroll, taxes and workers’ compensation, so ask for proof of that coverage. Ask how candidates are screened, what the markup is on the hourly wage, the conversion fee if you hire a temp permanently, and the guarantee period for direct placements. Job seekers should not be asked to pay for placement. For building your own hiring process, HR consultants can help, and payroll services take over once staff are on your books.
