How to choose an employment agency in Columbus
- Ask whether the agency specializes in your industry or role type. A firm that fills warehouse shifts every week may not be right for senior accounting hires.
- Employers should clarify fees, the guarantee period if a hire leaves early, and whether the arrangement is temp, temp-to-hire, or direct placement.
- Job seekers should never pay a fee to be placed. Legitimate agencies are paid by employers, so treat upfront charges or requests for bank details as a red flag.
- Ask how candidates are screened, including background and reference checks, and who is responsible for payroll, taxes, and workers' compensation on temporary placements.

How much does a staffing agency cost?
For employers, fees vary by role, placement type, and contract terms. Temporary staffing typically involves a bill rate above the worker's pay, while direct hire may involve a placement fee. Get all terms in writing before you start. Direct-hire placements are often priced differently from temporary staffing, so ask which model your hiring need falls under and what the invoice will include.
