Understanding the Difference between RECRUITMENT
AGENCIES and STAFFING AGENCIES
In todays dynamic job market, companies often
turn to external partners to help them manage
their workforce needs.

RECRUITMENT
AGENCY
A recruitment agency, also known as an employment
agency or headhunter, focuses on finding
permanent employees for its clients. These
agencies specialize in matching the right
candidates with the right job openings, usually
for long-term positions.

CHARACTERSTICS
1.Permanent Placement Recruitment agencies
primarily aim to fill permanent roles within
companies. They work to match candidates with
positions that are intended to be
long-term. 2.Specialized Recruitment Many
recruitment agencies focus on specific industries
or job functions. For example, some may
specialize in IT, finance, healthcare, or
executive roles. 3.Candidate sourcing and
Screening Recruitment agencies often have
extensive networks and databases to source
potential candidates. They handle the initial
stages of the hiring process, including
advertising the job, reviewing applications,
conducting interviews, and performing background
checks. 4.Fee Structure The fee for recruitment
agencies is typically a percentage of the hired
candidates annual salary. This fee is usually
paid by the employer once a candidate is
successfully placed.

STAFFING
AGENCY
A staffing agency, also known as a temp agency or
employment agency, primarily provides temporary
or contract workers to businesses. These agencies
are geared towards filling short-term positions
that can range from a few days to several months
or even years.

CHARACTERSTICS
1.Temporary and Contract Placement Staffing
agencies specialize in providing workers for
temporary assignments. These can be seasonal
jobs, project-based roles, or temporary
replacements for permanent staff. 2.Wide Range of
Positions While some staffing agencies may focus
on specific industries, many provide workers
across a broad spectrum of roles and sectors,
from administrative and clerical positions to
industrial and technical jobs. 3.Employee
Management In many cases, the staffing agency
remains the official employer of the temporary
worker. This means the agency handles payroll,
benefits, taxes, and other administrative
tasks. 4.Flexible Solutions Staffing agencies
offer flexible workforce solutions that can help
businesses manage fluctuating workloads without
committing to long-term employment
contracts. 5.Fee Structure The fee structure for
staffing agencies often includes an hourly rate
for the temporary worker, which encompasses the
workers wage plus a markup for the agencys
services.
