What are the differences among recruitment, staffing, and placement agencies?
They are the same thing!!! There are 3 types of placement though: 1 Direct Hire (Perm) you are introduced by the staffing company and the company you interview at hires you directly and they pay a 1 time fee to the staffing company. 2. Temp-Perm is where you work at the client company, but the staffing agency pays you and there is an opportunity to be hired on full time after a probationary period. 3. Temp is where you work at the client company, paid by the staffing agency and there is no hope or opportunity of being hired direct. Is is for a shorter time. Some staffing firms do all three type of placement, some specialize in Direct Hire and don’t touch the temp/temp to perm. Some also specialize in clerical, light industrial, engineers, manufacturing ect…
