Temp Agency Services in Kansas City
Need extra hands for a busy season, a big project, or to cover an employee on leave? Our Temp Agency Services in Kansas City gets you qualified workers without the long hiring process. We recruit and screen the candidates, and we handle payroll and paperwork. You direct the day-to-day work.
Businesses on both sides of the state line use us for temp services in Kansas City, KS, and across the wider metro. That includes Kansas City, MO, Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Shawnee.
Temp-to-Hire Placement
Not sure if someone is the right long-term fit? Temp-to-hire lets you find out on the job. The person works for you as a temp first, and if it goes well, you bring them on permanently. You get a real look at their work before you commit, and they get a look at your company too.
Direct Hire and Permanent Placement
For roles you need to fill for the long haul, we run the full search. We work with you to understand the role and the team, find and interview candidates, and send you a shortlist of people worth meeting. You make the final call.
For senior and leadership roles, see our executive search consultants. Hiring in other US cities too? See our recruitment agencies in the USA page.

Why Employers Choose Our Staffing Agency in Kansas City
Plenty of agencies can send you résumés. Here’s what we do differently:
We start with your brief. Before the search begins, we agree the role, pay range, shifts and location with you, so candidates are matched to your Kansas City workplace, not a generic job description.
We move quickly. Once the brief is agreed, you get a shortlist of screened candidates within 24–48 hours.
We screen carefully. Every candidate is interviewed before you see them, so you meet people who match what you asked for.
We’re straightforward. You’ll know what our services cost before you agree to anything, with no surprise fees.
We stand behind our placements. If a permanent hire doesn’t work out within 90 days, we find a replacement at no extra charge.
You’ll deal with real people. You’ll have a recruiter who knows your business, not a different contact each time you call.

Client Reviews
“We needed additional workers for a busy production period and didn’t have time to manage a lengthy hiring process. The Kansas City staffing team understood our requirements, provided qualified candidates quickly, and handled the onboarding and payroll process efficiently. It made scaling our workforce much easier.”
“We initially partnered with the team for temp-to-hire positions because we wanted to evaluate candidates before making permanent decisions. The candidates were well screened and matched the requirements we provided. The process was straightforward, and the ongoing communication made it easy to move forward with the right employees.”
“We had several permanent positions that were taking longer than expected to fill internally. The recruiters took the time to understand the roles and our team environment before presenting candidates. Instead of sorting through a large number of resumes, we received a focused shortlist of professionals who were genuinely relevant to the positions.”

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the type of service. For temp workers, you pay an hourly rate that covers the worker’s wages plus our costs, such as payroll, taxes, and insurance. For direct hire, the fee depends on the role and seniority, and on a contingency search it is payable only on successful placement. Every fee is agreed in writing before the search starts.
For most roles, we send a shortlist of screened candidates within 24–48 hours of an agreed brief. Start dates depend on the job, the skills required and how many people you need.
Temp staffing is for short-term needs, like a busy season or a covered absence. Temp-to-hire starts the same way, but you have the option to hire the worker permanently once you’ve seen how they perform.
