We find, screen, and shortlist candidates for temp, contract, and permanent roles, so you only spend time talking to people who are already qualified.

What Is a Staffing Agency?

A staffing agency is a company that recruits and screens candidates on behalf of employers. Instead of handling the full hiring process yourself, you hand the search to specialists who already have the tools, the network, and the experience to find the right person.

Here is what that looks like in practice:

You brief the agency on the role — the skills needed, the team it fits into, and the timeline. The agency searches its candidate network, runs interviews and background checks, and sends you a shortlist of qualified candidates. You interview the ones you like and make the hire.

You save weeks of internal time. You get access to candidates you would never find through a job board. And you only make a decision when you have real options in front of you.

Staffing agencies place workers in three main arrangements:

• Temporary — short-term roles for projects, seasonal demand, or cover for absent staff
• Contract — fixed-term placements, usually 3 to 12 months, with a specialist
• Permanent — full-time hires who join your team long-term

Staffing Services We Offer

Temporary Staffing

Temp staffing gives your business the flexibility to scale up or down without long-term commitment.

You need temp staffing when:

• A team member is on medical leave or parental leave
• You have a seasonal spike in orders or customers
• A short-term project needs extra hands
• You want to trial a candidate before offering a permanent role

Alliance has a large network of pre-screened candidates ready for temp placements across sectors including administration, finance, IT, logistics, hospitality, and healthcare. We match you with the right person quickly — often within days for standard temp roles.

There is no long hiring process. You tell us what you need and when. We find someone who fits and gets to work. Looking for executive-level temp cover? See our Executive Temp Agency service.

Contract Staffing

Contract staffing is the right choice when you need a specialist for a set period but are not ready to make a permanent hire.

Contract workers are not permanent employees. They come in on a fixed-term engagement — usually 3 to 12 months — deliver their expertise, and move on. You get the skills you need without the overhead of a full-time employment contract.

Common contract staffing roles include:

• IT developers and engineers
• Project managers and program directors
• Finance and accounting specialists
• HR and compliance professionals
• Marketing and strategy consultants

Alliance handles the sourcing, screening, and engagement paperwork. You get the right specialist in place, ready to contribute from day one.

Permanent Placement

When you need to add a full-time, long-term team member, we run a dedicated search.

We do not just post your vacancy and wait for applications. We actively headhunt candidates who match your exact requirements, including people who are not currently job hunting. These passive candidates are often the strongest fits for senior and specialist roles.

Our permanent placement service covers:

• Professional and mid-level roles across all functions
• Senior management and director-level positions
• C-suite and board-level appointments
• International hires across 36+ countries

We have helped employers fill over 5,000 senior positions across the US, UK, Middle East, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Learn more about our Executive Search service for leadership and board-level hiring.

AI Staffing Solutions

Alliance uses AI tools across multiple stages of the recruitment process to deliver faster, more accurate results for employers.

Our AI systems help us:

• Screen and rank large volumes of resumes in a fraction of the usual time
• Match candidates to roles based on actual skills, not just job titles or keywords
• Identify which candidates are most likely to succeed and stay long-term
• Reduce bias in early screening so you get a more diverse, high-quality shortlist

This is what AI staffing solutions look like in practice, not a chatbot, but a smarter recruitment process that speeds up the work without cutting corners. Every AI-ranked candidate is reviewed by a specialist recruiter before anyone is presented to you. The AI finds the leads; our recruiters validate the fit. That combination is why our average time to shortlist is 14 to 21 days, which is significantly faster than the industry norm.

How Our Staffing Process Works

Getting started with Alliance takes one conversation. Here is the full process from first call to placed hire:

Step 1 — Discovery Call (Day 1)

You speak with a recruiter who knows your industry. We ask about the role, the team, the skills required, the location, and your ideal start date. This call usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 2 — Search and Screening (Days 1 to 10)

We open the search immediately. This includes our global candidate database, targeted job postings, and direct outreach to passive candidates. Our AI tools screen and rank the best matches. Our recruiters then interview and verify each candidate on the shortlist.

Step 3 — Shortlist Delivered (Days 14 to 21)

You receive a shortlist of 3 to 5 candidates. Each profile includes interview notes, the recruiter’s assessment, and our honest recommendation on who to prioritize.

Step 4 — Interviews and Selection

You interview the candidates you want to meet. We coordinate scheduling, collect your feedback, and advise on next steps.

Step 5 — Offer and Placement (Weeks 3 to 4)

Once you choose your candidate, we manage the offer process and any onboarding paperwork. Most placements are complete within 3 to 4 weeks from the first call.

Step 6 — 3-Month Free Replacement Guarantee

If your placed candidate leaves within 3 months for any reason, we replace them at no extra cost. No questions. No additional fees.

Staffing Agency vs. Hiring In-House — What Employers Need to Know

Many companies start by hiring in-house. For high-volume, routine roles, that can work well. But for specialist, senior, or hard-to-fill positions, in-house recruitment often hits real limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ans. A staffing agency finds, screens, and presents candidates to employers. You brief the agency on the role you need to fill. The agency searches its network, interviews candidates, and sends you a shortlist of the best matches. You choose who to hire. The agency handles the offer and onboarding paperwork.

What is the difference between temp staffing and contract staffing?

Ans. Temp staffing covers short-term needs — a few days to a few months. It is used for cover, seasonal demand, or short projects. Contract staffing is for a fixed term, usually 3 to 12 months, where you need a specialist without making a permanent hire.

How much do staffing agencies charge?

Ans. Fees vary based on the role type, location, and hiring model. For permanent placements, agencies typically charge a percentage of the placed candidate’s annual salary. Temp and contract staffing is usually charged as an hourly or daily rate. Contact us for a quote on your specific role.

Ans. Both. Alliance places workers in temp, contract, and permanent roles. We also support offshore hiring and remote staffing arrangements for businesses that need flexible workforce models.

What are AI staffing solutions?

Ans. AI staffing solutions use artificial intelligence tools to speed up candidate screening and improve how well candidates are matched to roles. At Alliance, AI ranks and filters candidates based on skills and likely job success. Every match is then reviewed by a human recruiter before being presented to you.
