Choosing the right staffing agency depends on your business needs, industry, and hiring goals. Here’s how to find the best one:
1. Identify Your Hiring Needs
Temporary Staffing – If you need short-term employees, look for agencies specializing in temp work (e.g., Randstad, Kelly Services, TSS).
Permanent Placement – For long-term hires, choose agencies that focus on direct hires (e.g., Robert Half, Michael Page).
Industry-Specific Hiring – If your business is in a niche industry, consider specialized agencies (e.g., TEKsystems for IT, Aerotek for engineering/manufacturing, TSS for IT/manufacturing/supply chain or AMN Healthcare for medical).
Executive Recruiting – For high-level roles, go with executive search firms (e.g., Korn Ferry, Spencer Stuart).
2. Check the Agency’s Reputation
Read reviews on Google, Glassdoor, or Trustpilot.
Ask for client testimonials or case studies.
Ensure they have experience in your industry.

3. Compare Pricing & Fees
Most agencies charge a percentage of the hired employee’s salary (15%-30% for permanent hires).
Temp staffing agencies may bill hourly rates with a markup.
Get quotes from multiple agencies to compare costs.
4. Evaluate Their Recruitment Process
Do they screen candidates thoroughly?
Do they handle background checks and skill assessments?
Can they adapt to your company culture?
5. Consider Customer Service & Communication
A good agency should be responsive, transparent, and proactive in finding the right candidates.
