How the ratings work

Rating is each agency’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated it, compared across the firms on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from over a thousand people carries more than a 5.0 from a smaller group. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving. Because temp agencies draw both workers and employers, read the comments for the side that matters to you.

How do staffing agencies charge?

Fees depend on whether you are hiring or looking for work, and whether the placement is temporary, direct hire or a retained executive search. Synergy Staffing’s site explains that a temp worker’s bill rate is their pay multiplied by a markup that covers payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance and recruiting costs. Ask every firm how it bills before you sign.
