Staffing firms hire 11.5 million temporary and contract employees throughout the year. Maintaining a pool of talent who is willing to work, or even prefers these types of assignments, is what we do.
  • Need someone full time? We’re great at that too! You may be surprised to learn that almost 80% of employees working for a staffing company work full time hours. This figure is almost even with the rest of the workforce.
  • Do you need a flexible workforce? We have it. About 90% of companies who partner with a staffing agency report that this gives them the ability to remain fully staffed during peak seasons.
  • We help build a permanent workforce solution. 80% of staffing clients report that staffing firms have provided them a good way to locate people who can become permanent employees.
  • We provide free training to employees. Have you struggled with on boarding new employees after an already lengthy recruiting process? Stop. 90% of staffing companies provide free training to their temporary and contract employees, freeing you of the additional time and resources.
