Direct hire vs staffing agency

With direct hire, a recruiter finds a candidate and steps away once you hire them. The worker joins your team as your employee. With a staffing agency, the agency often employs the worker and sends them to you, so you pay the agency for each hour.

Direct hire fits long-term roles where you want full control and loyalty. Staffing fits short projects or seasonal peaks, where flexibility matters more. Costs differ in structure: a one-time search fee versus an ongoing markup. Compare terms and guarantees before you choose.
