The recruitment agencies in Denver on this page have logged more than 2,300 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.6 to 4.9, so the useful question is less who is good and more what kind of work each office actually places.

Kent Staffing holds 4.7 with a direct-hire, temp and event-staffing menu. Every business here is a staffing or temp agency rather than an executive search firm.

How the scorecards work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated each office, ranked against other Denver staffing agencies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do Denver staffing agencies charge?

This page does not quote agency fees. What an employer pays depends on whether the arrangement is temporary, temp-to-hire or direct hire, how specialized the role is, and how many people are needed. Each agency sets its own terms, so ask for them in writing before signing anything.

Where these agencies sit in the Denver area

The offices listed here are northwest of downtown near W 26th Ave and N Pecos St, north of downtown on Ringsby Ct, downtown on N Grant St, and in northeast Denver on Quebec St. PrideStaff’s site says it also serves Aurora, Commerce City, Brighton and Henderson, and 5280 Staffing lists additional offices in Longmont and Loveland. Searching for a staffing agency near me in Denver? Each listing shows a phone number and a map link so you can pick the closest office.

Questions to ask a staffing agency before you sign up

  • Which jobs do you have open right now that match my experience?
  • Is the role temporary, temp-to-hire or direct hire?
  • How and when do I get paid, and is there a pay card or direct deposit?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how do I reach them?
  • Are benefits available to temporary workers?
  • If you are an employer: what are your fees and how long does a typical search take?
