Most staffing agencies sound the same on a first call. The differences show up on the night, when it’s too late to do anything about them.
The questions that matter are the ones about what happens behind the booking. Are the staff trained or just placed? Who carries payroll, tax and liability? What happens when someone doesn’t show?
These twelve questions are the ones we’d want asked of us. Some of them are uncomfortable to answer, which is the point — the answers tell you what kind of partner you’re actually hiring.
