      Web Development Review from Anita Krol

      We entrusted DevsData with developing a new website for our company. I was impressed by how quickly their team completed the project. They gave the site a new, modern style with appealing layouts and they connected marketing tools for measuring user behavior, which led to a noticeable boost in our company's revenue. What I'm most delighted with is that we received regular updates on every stage of the process. DevsData did a marvelous job and helped us get our business off the ground quickly.

      IT Staffing Review from Adam Zaczek

      I contacted DevsData to recruit two Node developers for our startup (CodeAlly). We started from creating detailed job descriptions for the desired role, together with DevsData, and agreed on the compensation ranges. Then every week, we had an update call with a couple of new developers that were recommended our way. They did an outstanding job. I signed 2 developers. Everything went smoothly as I had hoped. I will definitely work with them again for my future tech recruiting needs.

      We have been with Wiss for about (11) years now, so I believe we know their firm fairly well.At the start, they immediately saved us a considerable amount of tax liability in Year 1 and moving forward over the years. As we are a global corporation with many subsidiaries, they also made some recommendations as far as restructuring to take advantage of other more technical issues.We primarily use Wiss for our annual general accounting audit, tax preparations and filings, and 401K audit. They also assist from time to time regarding international related issues. As with many companies, changes of personnel do occur from time to time, but they have always made these as seamless as possible.We have also experienced Federal and State audits, which they have also guided us thru from A to Z.In summary, we value Wiss as a partner with our company and have always experienced a very positive, professional and full service relationship.

      As the owner of a small business, the accounting firm I choose needs to be responsive, friendly, and thorough. Having been with Wiss for over 5 years now, Paul, Jim and the rest of the staff have been amazing.They respond to my emails, answer my questions and add insight into the financial and accounting aspects of my business. This has allowed me to make better decisions for the growth of my company and the financial security for my family.I have had two other accounting firms in the past and neither were as attentive or engaging as they are at Wiss. The team at Wiss got my business onto an online platform that has made my accounting a breeze. There have been several occasions where I needed clarification and had difficulty with certain aspects of my quickbooks account and they were able to rectify them within 1 business day.As a busy owner running a company, I feel great knowing the accounting aspect and tax planning is in great hands. One less thing I need to be concerned with which allows me to concentrate on growing my business.I would highly recommend them and have personally done so with family, friends and colleagues.

      I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

      I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

      Unprofessional. I was contacted by a woman named Avrl L. via text message regarding a position I applied for. She texted back LATE, which I thought was unusual, but I accepted meeting her on Teams the next morning. I took time out of my schedule, had the meeting, I thought it went well, she said she wanted to proceed with sending the company my resume, that she'd email me an application within 2 hours that I had to fill out "ASAP". I got nothing all day, I checked in, no response. She completely ghosted me. Why do people feel it's ok to waste applicants time like this?? Its cruel and heartless as some of us are truly looking for work. Don't like the candidate? Just say it, but dont give false hope and lie to our face, then blow us off. If I could give zero stars, I would.

I don’t understand it. This is the most unprofessional staffing agency I have ever dealt with. Don’t expect much from them — they are clearly not in the business of actually filling jobs.

Maryssa was not only a fantastic recruiter but also a true advocate, ensuring I felt confident and prepared throughout the entire process.If you're looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond to help you reach your career goals, look no further than Maryssa.

Throughout our travels across Europe, the US, and Canada, as well as during our recent move to a new house and country, Terri has been there for us every step of the way. In particular, I have appreciated that Terri has used great judgment in assessing options on all fronts and hasn't just gone for the easy road of blindly following orders. I have trusted her as a "second me" and that has been so helpful. We couldn't have done any of this without her!

      Long overdue review but I worked with Sheri Sakin and my experience was subpar in comparison to other temp agencies in NYC. She was very pushy in trying to get me to leave my job for another job. Ultimately, I got hired under a temp to perm position, but the perm aspect never came after 11 months of working there with no bad reviews. There was very poor communication with me on that. There was never a check in to see how I was doing while in the job. I was placed in a toxic, prejudice, environment. After getting abruptly let go bc they "did not have the budget" to make me a full-time hire, Sheri sent me two other interviews and when those companies decided to hire internally, or just not get back to me, she blamed ME lol. Saying my confidence on the interviews wasn't there (untrue), andthen I wasn't sent anymore jobs. I am currently happily employed (this was a year ago) as a full-time hire by my own merit but it's been on my spirit to write an honest review about my experience with Solomon Page. Again, I have worked with other agencies and they were much more caring than this seemed. It's like once they drop you at a job there's no follow up to see if it's a good fit.

      I had an unprofessional experience with Solomon Page during my application for a senior property manager position. The recruiters were aggressive, questioned my extensive real estate experience and educational background, and talked over me during interviews. The process was disorganized, with multiple unnecessary Zoom interviews, and after four interviews, I was rejected via a brief text message. Additionally, the recruiter was uninterested in hearing about my experience or criteria for my next employer, focusing instead on promoting the employer without providing details about the benefits package. Too many years of the industry, I was able to find out a lot of different Different information about the employer, all such as their delinquencies their poor management of funds whenever I poked at this information and try to get a more clear answer of what was happening with the employer on the previous employee that had lasted only eight months there everything was very cagie.Overall, the process was disrespectful and poorly managed.Felt like talking to used cards salesz

      Some of the people who work there are racists, ageists and subscribe to cronyism. From Mitch the owner to the workers/assignment managers like Karen and Natalie. They are the worst. They don't care about their employees. They only care about their clients, period. I got injured on one of the jobs that they assigned me and these people suggested that I file for Medicaid and go to the hospital. No help or concern whatsoever. After that, I wasn't given any other assignments. I was told that there were no assignments available even though there were other employees who were getting two to three different assignments at a time - working from home,etc. If you are a minority, don't bother. If you get anything, it will be janitorial, regardless of whether you have a college degree or not. These people are horrible. Don't use them!!!

      These people are very corrupt from the CEO on down. They are wage-thieves. They lie to their employees and even, some of their clients. They are very discrimatory and not worth the time of day. If you have registered with this agency and you haven't been called back in about six months, call them to cancel your registration. Get it in writing. They are just horrible.

      Nahim Love's Review Sourced from Google

      The people that work at this Staffing Agency are the most useless, prejudice and unprofessional bunch out there. They lie to you to get you to register with them by promising you a lot of jobs and then once you register with them, they tell you nothing is available. I spent 12 months reaching out to them for assignments to no avail. All I got were lies. Obviously, they use your information to get more business, by getting more employers to sign up with them. They only give the good assignments to very few cronies, that’s it. Their minority recruitment is almost nonexistent. They are horrible and prejudiced from the Director(Karen, including her associates Natalie and Cindy) on down. They are a waste of time. Look elsewhere.

      One of your recruiters reached out because they were impressed by my experience, then they immediately rejected me when I tailored my resume. If you’re in the job market & looking for your next opportunity, skip these guys & keep looking.

      I have connected with this company a handful of times over the last few years regarding contract opportunities with [Nike] and consistently have a poor experience. There seems to be a lack of business etiquette from the recruiters here as calls are being made to candidates as early as 6a without prior scheduling.If you are an individual looking to contract with [Nike] or any company on the west coast, I highly encourage prospective candidates to partner with a local staffing agency who can offer a more tailored service.

      So I've been searching for employment since late August and at this point I've expanded my search and have been applying for just about every job: both under qualified and over, leaving me vulnerable to shady domestic and overseas contractors. This company off the bat, asking for my DOB and last four of social security seems shady as hell and surprised it has so many 5 stars 🤨

Recruiting Agency Hiring Guide

What is a recruiting agency?

A recruiting agency is an agency that acts as a mediator between employers and job seekers, streamlining the recruitment process and ensuring a smooth match between candidates and organizations. It has access to top-tier talent, helping businesses address common challenges in their organizations, such as: 

  • Shortages of internal or onshore talents 
  • High turnover rates 
  • Lack of internal resources to kickstart recruitment activities 
  • Inadequate funds to advertise job posts 
  • Ineffective onboarding processes
  • Lack of dedicated teams and time to streamline recruitment 
  • Poor employer branding and presence in social media 

Recruiting companies are an essential addition to any business because hiring the right talent can be expensive and time-consuming. By working with a recruiting agency, hiring employees becomes time and cost-efficient, as emphasized by the 97% satisfaction rate of businesses that have outsourced their recruitment processes. In-house HR teams can also use a recruitment company to get both the best value and best candidates, therefore gaining a competitive edge on the market. 

Success story 

Our team of experts has carefully selected this case study highlighting the importance of a recruiting agency to businesses: 

  • Challenge: A pet resort company faced difficulty finding qualified candidates for various specialized roles, as it grew its business. With 52 locations open for 7 days a week in the summer, the business needed to fill and manage 2,000 seasonal employees for all its locations. 
  • Solutions: NXTThing tailored its approach to meet the company’s specific needs, including sourcing for specialized roles, managing seasonal staffing, and creating a positive candidate experience. Using Jobvite’s technology, the recruiting firm implemented automated sourcing, candidate skill matching, and intelligent messaging to speed up the hiring process. 
  • Result: The company successfully scaled its recruiting operations across multiple locations and effectively managed seasonal staffing fluctuations. With the help of NXTThing, the pet resort company has sourced 84,912 candidates and interviewed 19,637 applicants via phone call. The recruiting firm contributed to the 1,766 new hires made across the pet resort company. 

What do recruiting agencies do?

Recruiting agencies help businesses find and hire suitable candidates for job openings. They function as a bridge between employers and job seekers. Recruiting firms have access to a wide pool of candidates, from entry-level to experienced professionals, and they match these individuals with open positions based on their qualifications and the job’s requirements. 

Here are some of the services they offer: 

  • Sourcing candidates 
    Source potential candidates through a variety of methods, including job boards, social media, referrals, and their own networks, to identify potential candidates 
  • Screening candidates 
    Screen resumes, conduct phone interviews, and sometimes administer assessments to evaluate the candidates’ skills, abilities, and cultural fit 
  • Presenting candidates 
    Present qualified candidates to employers and provide information about their skills, experience, and salary expectations 
  • Negotiating compensation 
    Negotiate salary and benefits packages on behalf of candidates 
  • Onboarding 
    Assist with the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition for new hires 
  • Market research 
    Research to understand market trends, industry demands, and salary benchmarks 
  • Employer branding 
    Help employers develop and promote a strong employer brand to attract top talent 

Success story 

This case study for Softorino demonstrates the importance of a recruiting agency's market research services in recruiting the right talent for the role: 

  • Challenge: Softorino, an indie software company, had a hard time finding a digital marketing specialist. It wanted a person with deep digital marketing tools knowledge, strong content writing abilities, excellent communication skills, and a genuine interest in macOS and iOS technologies. 
  • Solutions: Outstaff Your Team took over the recruiting process by understanding Softorino’s specific needs first. Through meticulous market research, the recruiting agency identified potential candidates who met the criteria and reached out to them. It designed and administrated custom assignments to assess the candidates’ skills and suitability for the role. Outstaff Your Team then presented the top performers to Softorino for final interviews. 
  • Result: The recruitment process resulted in a high-quality hire within 15 days. The hired specialist perfectly matched Softorino’s requirements, leading to a successful partnership. Impressed by the results, Softorino plans to continue working with Outstaff Your Team for future staffing needs. 

What is the difference between talent acquisition and recruitment?

The difference between talent acquisition and recruitment is in their scope. While recruitment involves hiring people for open positions in a business or organization, talent acquisition concerns blanket strategy, encompassing the entire process of attracting and retaining top talent. 

Here is a table to further illustrate their differences: 

RecruitmentTalent acquisition
Focused on filling specific vacancies Broader approach encompassing talent attraction, development, and retention 
Short-term Long-term 
Strategy is often transactional Focused on building a sustainable talent pipeline 
Posting job ads, screening resumes, interviewing, and making offers Prioritized building a strong employer brand to attract top talent 
Often operating externally and outside the business’ recruitment strategy Aligns with organizational goals and culture 
Primarily focused on time-to-hire and cost-per-hire Tracks various metrics, including employee satisfaction, retention, and performance 
Uses basic tools like applicant tracking systems (ATS) Leverages advanced technologies like candidate relationship management (CRM) systems and data analytics 

How much do recruiting firms charge for their services?

Recruiting firms charge a flat monthly fee from $5,000 to $30,000, depending on the role complexity, urgency of the hire, location, and state of the job market. This pricing can include sourcing, screening, performing assessments, and interviewing. 

There are common types of pricing structures that recruiting agencies deploy, such as: 

Type of recruitment feesPrice
Hourly fees$75-$250/hour 
Retainer fees25% to 40% of the candidate’s annual salary 
Contingency fees15% to 25% of the candidate’s annual salary 
Contract placement fees1.5x the hourly rate of the contracted employee 

On DesignRush, the top 50 recruiting agencies charge an average of $52/hour. 13.8% of recruiting firms accept projects with a budget of under $1,000, offering core recruitment services. On the other hand, 1.7% of recruiting agencies require projects within a budget over $50,000, offering a wider scope of services from sourcing to post-hiring support. 

Why should I hire a recruiting agency?

You should hire a recruiting agency because it brings specialized expertise, a wider talent pool, and efficiency to the hiring process. These agencies can save time and resources, provide industry insights, and help negotiate fair compensation packages. 

Moreover, you should hire a recruiting agency because it: 

  • Has access to a wider talent pool 
  • Provides extensive industry insights and salary benchmarks 
  • Increases hiring speed without compromising quality of hire 
  • Can connect you with passive candidates 
  • Improves your business reputation and credibility to applicants 
  • Helps reduce the risk of hiring the wrong candidate 

Success story 

To further emphasize the benefits of hiring a recruiting agency, we have chosen the case study of a leading automotive manufacturer, which showcases the positive outcomes of outsourcing recruitment to a reputable firm: 

  • Challenge: The client, a major North American automotive manufacturer, struggled with fluctuating production demands, supply chain disruptions, and a limited talent pool. Because of the client’s rural locations and widespread labor shortages, it further made it difficult to hire an available workforce. 
  • Solution: Aerotek implemented several strategic solutions to tackle the challenge. It conducted a thorough local market analysis to provide the client with valuable insights into labor conditions and potential hiring strategies. The recruiting agency used its extensive network of strategic recruiting centers to efficiently source and vet qualified candidates. It also implemented a vendor on-premises program, placing a dedicated representative at the jobsite to manage contractors and address any concerns. 
  • Results: The company successfully onboarded over 71 new hires, with a high retention rate of 83% or higher. The improved workforce stability enabled the client to adapt to production delays and sudden increases in demand. 

How do I choose the best recruiting firm for my business?

To choose the best recruiting firm for your business, follow these steps: 

  1. Define your needs 
    Clearly articulate your hiring needs, including the role, industry, experience level, and location. Determine the number of positions you need to fill and identify any specific skills, qualifications, or certifications that are essential. 
  2. Set a budget 
    Establish a budget for your recruiting efforts. Consider factors, such as the number of positions, industry, location, and the level of service required. 
  3. Research recruiting firms 
    Identify potential recruiting firms that specialize in your industry or have experience with similar roles. You can use popular search engines like Google, or online directories like DesignRush.  
  4. Evaluate firm size and specialization 
    Determine if you prefer a large, national firm or a smaller, boutique recruiting agency. Consider whether the firm specializes in your industry or has experience hiring similar roles. A specialized recruiting firm may have a deeper understanding of your industry and be better equipped to find the right candidates. 
  5. Review firm reputation 
    Check the firm’s online reputation and read client reviews or testimonials. Look for any complaints or negative feedback. Consider asking for references from previous clients. A recruiting agency with a strong reputation and positive reviews is more likely to provide quality service. 
  6. Assess firm services 
    Determine the range of services offered by the recruiting firm, such as sourcing, screening, interviewing, and negotiation. Ensure that the agency’s services align with your specific needs. Some firms may specialize in certain areas, while others offer a more comprehensive range of services. 
  7. Shortlist selected agencies 
    Narrow your options to five agencies that can cater to your project. Send a request for proposal (RFP) to outline the needs of the partnership. 
  8. Understand pricing structure 
    Inquire about the recruiting firm’s fee structure, including contingency fees, retainer fees, or hourly rates. Compare the fees of different firms to find the best value for your money. 
  9. Interview recruiting firms 
    Schedule interviews with potential recruiting agencies to learn more about their approach and experience. Ask about their recruiting process, candidate sourcing methods, and success rates. This will help you assess if the agency is a good fit for your company and if it has the expertise to meet your hiring needs. 
  10. Evaluate the firm’s culture and values 
    Assess if the agency’s culture and values align with your culture and goals. A recruiting agency that shares your company's values is more likely to understand your needs and find candidates who are a good fit for your organization. 
  11. Select the recruiting agency fit for your business 
    Select the right recruiting agency for your business and negotiate the terms of the agreement, including fees, timelines, and performance expectations. Ensure that the agreement is in writing and clearly outlines the scope of services and deliverables.
