What a staffing and HR firm usually provides

A business of this kind usually recruits and screens candidates for client companies, then places them as temporary workers, as contract staff on a fixed project, or as direct hires who join the client's payroll from day one. Temp-to-hire arrangements let an employer try a worker before making an offer. Many firms also act as employer of record for temporary staff, running their payroll, tax withholding and workers' compensation.

On the consulting side, firms with HR in the name often help smaller companies write job descriptions, set up onboarding, review handbooks and plan a hiring push without keeping a full-time recruiter on staff.

Setting up an engagement

Start by describing the roles, the pay range, the schedule and how quickly you need people. Ask how the firm sources and screens candidates, whether it checks references or runs background checks and drug tests, and what happens when a placement does not work out. Get the fee structure in writing: a markup on hourly pay for temporary staff, or a placement fee for a direct hire, plus any replacement period. Settle who is the legal employer of temporary workers and who carries workers' compensation and payroll taxes, and who supervises them on site. Job seekers can ask at the outset whether any fee falls on them; in most staffing arrangements the employer pays.
