The Staffing Guide is an independent resource explaining how staffing agencies, temp work and recruiters operate — written for the person being placed, not the employer doing the hiring.
What this site is not
It is not a staffing agency. It does not recruit, place, employ or represent anyone. It has no client employers, accepts no resumes or job applications, and cannot help you find a position or pass your details to anyone who can. It is also not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any company that previously used this domain name, or to any business with a similar name.
Why it exists
Most explanations of agency work are published by agencies, which means they describe the arrangement from the side that benefits from it. The basic mechanics — who your employer actually is, who pays whom, what the markup covers, what happens when an assignment ends without warning — are rarely spelled out plainly to the worker.
On employment law
Employment rules vary a great deal between states and change over time. Articles here describe how things generally work and point you to the body that actually decides — your state labor agency, or the US Department of Labor. Nothing here is legal advice, and no article can account for your particular situation.
How it is written
Articles are drafted with AI assistance from a structured outline and checked against a quality gate before publishing — minimum depth, no invented statistics or pay figures, no fabricated anecdotes, and no writing in the voice of a recruiter. Corrections: [email protected].
