Questions, answered
What does a staffing agency do?

Staffing agencies recruit, vet and place candidates so you can scale your workforce up or down fast. On temp and contract assignments the agency employs the worker — payroll, taxes, workers' comp — while on direct-hire roles you employ them and the agency simply finds and screens the talent.

How does temp staffing work?

You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.

What is co-employment?

In a co-employment relationship the agency is the administrative employer (pay, benefits, compliance) and the client is the worksite employer (supervision, safety). Clear contracts allocate who's responsible for what.

Can temporary workers become permanent?

Temp-to-hire makes this easy: the worker starts on our payroll, you evaluate them in the actual role, and you convert them to permanent on agreed terms whenever it makes sense.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in New Jersey?
