How the numbers work

Rating is each agency’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated it, set against the other agencies on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What to know about agency fees

Pricing isn’t published for these agencies, and it depends on whether you’re hiring for a permanent role, a contract role or temporary staff. Before you sign anything, ask each agency who pays its fee, when that fee is due and what happens if a placement ends early. Get the answers in writing.
