Employment Agency Syracuse NY
Why Work With an Employment Agency?
Whether you’re an employer or a job seeker in East Syracuse, Liverpool, Fayetteville, Cicero, or anywhere in the Syracuse, NY, area, there are many benefits to working with employment agencies. As an employer, sourcing new talent can be a long and costly process, taking valuable time away from your managers or HR staff. Working with an employment agency puts a hiring professional on your team, giving you the full support of their expertise and easing the burden of the hiring process on you and your employees so you can get back to business. Staffing agencies are experts in the current labor market and are constantly finding new people, giving the client access to a larger pool of candidates. We have extensive experience sourcing and screening professionals to identify top talent—it's what we do!
Our hiring professionals sift through large pools of resumes on dozens of employment websites to identify a short list of qualified candidates who are a match for your team culture and position requirements. For temporary projects or contract-to-hire roles, redShift takes on all employer responsibilities, including onboarding, payroll, taxes, insurance, etc. This allows our clients to easily and painlessly add to and reduce their workforce to meet fluctuating hiring needs. If you're seeking work, recruiters can be a bridge connecting you with hard-to-reach local hiring managers. Our services are free for job seekers, so there's no risk, whether you're actively or passively looking. Put simply, we're one more person in your court during your employment search, but unlike your friend "who might know someone," we have direct connections to active employers and decades of industry knowledge. Our success depends on your success!
Staffing Services
Permanent Placement/Direct Hire Jobs
Direct hire employees are employed by the hiring organization. A staffing agency eases the traditional process by doing the legwork of sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, and assisting with offer negotiations. All you have to do is choose the candidate that's right for your team!
Contract Jobs
Need some extra hands for a project? Contract roles save time and money on HR functions and allow clients to easily add and cut staff as business needs require. For contractors, it's a great opportunity to gain experience and build skills that will further your goals without making a firm commitment. Contract roles can even sometimes lead to permanent positions.
Temporary-to-Hire Jobs
Hiring the wrong candidate is costly, wasting time, money, and business resources on someone who lacks the ability to be successful in the role or who quits after you've invested weeks of training in them. If you want to see whether a candidate will be a good fit before hiring, or if you are an employee wanting to try something new while keeping your options open, temp-to-hire may be the best route. These roles give both parties an opportunity to test the waters before making a commitment.
Temporary Jobs
Temp roles are great options for businesses whose staffing needs vary regularly or for individuals looking to get started in a new industry or gain experience and connections. A temp employee is a redShift employee, which means we handle everything from onboarding to payroll and taxes.
Executive Searches
Hiring at the executive level can be a challenge. Let us do the legwork of finding the best applicants so you can focus on choosing the individual who will be the best fit for your team.
Remote Positions

redShift checks professional references for all permanent and temp roles. Understanding the prior work experience of potential employees is important to verify they possess the skills needed to succeed in their next position.

As part of our temp and temp-to-hire services, redShift handles all HR office functions, including onboarding and payroll. Professionals working in temp, contract, and temp-to-hire roles are redShift employees, which means we handle all aspects of employment, including coordinating start and end dates, taxes, worker's comp, insurance requirements, etc.
FAQs About Employment Agencies
What Does an Employment Agency Do?
Staffing agencies smooth the hiring process for all parties by bringing together businesses with hiring needs and professionals seeking new opportunities. The best employment agencies utilize extensive industry knowledge and experience to source, interview, and present top-quality applicants to hiring managers with active, open roles. Staffing agencies specialize in identifying talent and supporting organizations to meet their hiring goals. They review resumes, screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and assist in offer letter negotiations, as well as manage HR responsibilities for contract and temp roles.
Is It Good to Use Recruiting Services to Find a New Job?
A common misconception about general staffing agencies is that they only work with temporary roles such as warehouse and labor. On the contrary, many employment agencies work with some of the most well-known organizations in the country in a wide range of industries. For workers seeking entry-level opportunities, working with an employment specialist can help you get your foot in the door of a great career. For experienced professionals, recruiting firms can connect you with multiple hiring companies, promoting your experience to hiring managers and assisting you in finding your next role. Don't discount temp/temp-to-hire roles either. A temp assignment is an excellent way to gain a new skill or explore opportunities while avoiding detrimental resume gaps.
How Are Employment Agencies Paid?
Employment firms receive a commission for sourcing talent and coordinating the interview and hiring processes. This is usually a percentage of the placed candidate's starting salary. Our services are free unless we fill your open roles, so there's no risk to trying staffing solutions. We only get paid to succeed, which means we are motivated to find outstanding talent to fill real, open positions. For professionals, we are your partner to help you find the best company to further your career. We speak for you, marketing your experience to help you get that interview, and then helping you negotiate the benefits you need and the compensation your experience and abilities deserve.
Do Job Seekers Have to Pay for Employment Agency Services?
Applicants never have to pay for employment agency services. We are a free resource to provide career advice and help you connect with great opportunities that may not be posted or commonly known. Our industry experience and extensive networks can help you break out of the black hole of online application systems and get your resume in front of a hiring manager. Our service supports your employment search at no cost to you.
Can Small Businesses Benefit from Using a Recruitment Agency?
There are many benefits to working with staffing firms for both large AND small businesses. Hiring is expensive, from advertising costs to the time it takes to review applicants' resumes, collect onboarding paperwork, and manage a variety of other HR office tasks. Working with a staffing agency takes all of this off your plate, so you can get back to business WITH the extra help you need.
