Temporary & Permanent Staffing

We fill temporary and permanent public-sector roles.

Close-up of a handshake at a school sign-in desk, hands and forearms filling the frame, the bright lobby doors behind blown out to white.

Programs need people on different timelines: coverage for a leave, a team for a project, extra staff for a seasonal surge, or a permanent hire.

We fill all of them from our network of people we have placed before and whose work we have seen documented. Because of that, our placements tend to stay past the first month, which is when most staffing arrangements fail.

We place people whose work we have already seen.

We maintain a network of people we have placed before and whose work we have seen documented, so each match is based on more than a keyword search. We use the same approach to keep our own network of 300-plus providers working with us, and we apply it to the roles we fill for agencies and institutions.

A team collaborating around a shared workspace

One vetting standard across every arrangement

A two-week coverage need and a permanent hire go through the same screening. Only the timeline differs.

Contract, temp-to-perm, and direct-hire placements
Roles can be filled on a contract, on a contract with a defined evaluation period before it converts, or as a permanent hire from the start.
A pre-screened, engaged candidate pool
Matches come from people we have placed and screened before and whose work we have seen documented, chosen for the role, setting, and timeline.
Project-team assembly and interim coverage
We put together a group of people for a defined project, or cover a leave or seasonal surge, under the same screening as a permanent hire.
Onboarding support in the first week
Someone from our side helps with the paperwork, the introductions, and the first-week logistics so the start goes smoothly.
A replacement commitment if a fit fails
Structured check-ins follow each placement, and if one does not work out we treat the search for a replacement as urgent.

How a placement works

Pick any part of the sentence to see the detail.

First, match from the network. Then set a realistic timeline. Next, onboard in week one. Finally, check in and replace if needed.

We draw from people we've placed and screened before, matched to the role, the setting, and the timeline.

Common questions

How fast can you fill a position?

It depends on the role. Positions that match our network can move in days; specialized roles with licensure or background requirements take longer, often weeks. We give you a realistic range at the start instead of promising a date we can't keep, and we prioritize urgent coverage needs.

What's the difference between temp-to-perm and direct hire?

Temp-to-perm places someone on a contract basis with a defined evaluation period, so both sides confirm the fit before it converts to a permanent role. Direct hire places a permanent employee from the start. We'll help you choose based on how certain the role and the fit already are.

What happens if a placement doesn't work out?

We remain responsible for the fit. Placements include structured check-ins during the first months, and if one does not work out, we treat finding a replacement as our priority. Because we verify candidates and match them to the setting as well as the résumé, replacements are the exception.

Do you only staff education roles?

No. Our largest candidate pool is in education and related services: teachers, therapists, clinicians, coordinators. We also fill administrative, program-operations, and professional roles for agencies and institutions, using the same verification standard.

If a position is vacant and your team is covering the work

The line is approved, but the civil service route will take longer than the program can wait.
City Council testimony put the civil service path from exam notice to start date at more than a year, before internal approvals are counted. Contract or temp-to-perm coverage can hold the work while the permanent process runs. Whether your contract vehicle allows it is the first thing to settle on a call.
The last agency sent someone who was gone within a month, and we started over.
Ask any staffing firm where its candidates come from. Ours come from an engaged network of people we have placed and screened before, and we support the first week of paperwork, introductions and logistics. Placements include structured check-ins, and if a fit fails we work the replacement.
My team is covering the vacancy on top of their own jobs and I am about to lose more people.
The City Comptroller's office has described this cycle: vacant positions raise workloads for those who remain, which raises the risk of more departures. Interim coverage for the open seat is a direct way to ease it. Tell us the role and the timeline and we will give you a realistic range, not a promised date.
Have this ready when you call
  • The role, the setting and its must-have credentials
  • The start date, and how long coverage is needed
  • Temp, temp-to-perm or permanent, if you already know
  • Fingerprinting or background checks required before day one
  • The funding source or contract vehicle, and who approves

You can call without all of these. We will work out the rest with you.
