Hiring through a staffing agency
Answers about staffing costs, engagement types, recruiting timelines, candidate screening, and starting a search with Solomon Page.
How much does it cost to use a staffing agency?
There is no single staffing fee that applies to every search. Pricing depends on the service model, role, market, hiring timeline, and length or complexity of the engagement. Temporary staffing, direct hire placement, and executive search use different fee structures, so Solomon Page defines pricing and terms with each client before work begins. Tell us what you need to discuss the right approach for your search.
What staffing and recruiting services does Solomon Page offer?
Solomon Page offers executive search, full-time direct hire placement, and temporary or contract staffing. The right model depends on the role, level of hire, timing, and whether the need is permanent, project-based, interim, or still being evaluated. Compare our service offerings.
How quickly can a staffing agency fill a position?
The timeline varies by role, market, location, seniority, and hiring process. Solomon Page uses specialized recruiting teams and established talent networks to move efficiently, but a highly specialized or confidential search may require more research and consultation than an immediate temporary need. We will discuss timing and expectations during the initial intake.
How does Solomon Page screen candidates?
Screening is tailored to the role and may include recruiter interviews, experience and skills review, reference checking, skills assessments, and behavioral or technical evaluation. The process also considers the working environment and organizational culture, not only the job description. Explore our areas of expertise.
What information should I provide when requesting staff?
Start with the job title, location, employment type, target start date, required skills, reporting structure, and the business need behind the opening. Information about team culture, interview availability, compensation, schedule, and non-negotiable requirements helps the recruiting team focus the search. Submit a staffing request.
What is the difference between temporary staffing, direct hire, and executive search?
Temporary staffing supports flexible, project-based, seasonal, or interim needs; direct hire placement focuses on permanent employees; and executive search is designed for senior leadership and specialized mandates that require deeper market research and consultation. Solomon Page supports all three models through dedicated practices. See how each service works.
Can Solomon Page help with temp-to-perm hiring?
Yes. Temp-to-perm hiring allows a client and worker to evaluate the fit before a permanent offer is made. The assignment length, conversion terms, and any applicable fees are established in the client agreement before the engagement begins.
Can Solomon Page manage confidential or senior-level searches?
Yes. Solomon Page conducts retained, contingency, and other executive searches for senior leaders and C-suite roles. Specialized teams use organizational mapping, competitive analysis, market insight, and discreet outreach based on the needs of the engagement. Learn about executive search.

Solomon Page recruits through specialized functional and industry practices. Coverage includes Accounting & Finance, Administrative & Support, Creative & Marketing, Human Resources, Legal Services, Technology, Clinical Resource Network, Fashion & Beauty, Financial Services, Healthcare, and Hospitality.

Does Solomon Page recruit nationwide?

Why use a staffing agency instead of hiring directly?
A staffing agency adds focused recruiting capacity, specialized market knowledge, access to established talent networks, and guidance on search strategy. Clients use Solomon Page when they need additional speed, hard-to-reach talent, confidential outreach, flexible staffing, or a recruiting partner with experience in a specific market.

Can a recruiter help me decide whether a role is right for me?
Yes. Solomon Page recruiters take a consultative approach and can share available information about the role, organization, work arrangement, interview process, and market. Candidates should also ask questions and evaluate whether the opportunity supports their experience and long-term goals.
Are benefits available for temporary or contract assignments?
Benefits and eligibility vary by assignment, employment classification, location, and applicable plan terms. If you are being considered for a temporary or contract role, your recruiter or staffing coordinator can explain the benefits and resources associated with that specific assignment.
What should I do if my temporary assignment changes or ends early?
Contact your Solomon Page recruiter or staffing coordinator as soon as possible. They can clarify assignment details, time submission, final administrative steps, and whether other opportunities may be available. Another assignment cannot be guaranteed, but the team can discuss appropriate next steps.
How can I tell whether a Solomon Page recruiter is legitimate?
Solomon Page recruiters will not ask you to pay a fee for a job or training. Be cautious of unexpected messages, requests for money, or communications that pressure you to share sensitive information before you can verify the sender. See how to recognize and report recruitment fraud.
