STAFFING AGENCIES

Get Your Staffing Agencies Data AI‑Ready

The Staffing Agencies Pack is how Small Biz Data works with firms that place temporary, contract and permanent workers. It starts with the spread: what each placement bills against what it costs in pay and burden, matched every week from timesheet to payroll to invoice.

Who It's For

Light industrial, office and administrative, IT and professional, health care support and hospitality staffing firms, plus recruiting firms that also place contractors. Their data sits across an applicant tracking system and CRM, timekeeping, payroll or an employer-of-record service, job boards, the books and client vendor-management portals.

What Stays With You

Small Biz Data organizes and connects the agency's data. It does not give legal, employment-law or tax advice. AI never screens, ranks or rejects candidates; people make every hiring and placement decision. Several states and cities regulate AI in hiring, so any AI use in recruiting is checked against the agency's own counsel's guidance. Social Security numbers, I-9 and background-check documents stay in the agency's own systems and never go into an AI tool.
