Staffing agencies are built for temporary workers.

If you need someone for three months, a staffing agency makes sense. But if you need someone who is going to learn your business and stick around, you are going to be disappointed.
The people staffing agencies send are often just looking for any job that is available. They are not committed to you or your company.

On top of that, you are paying a 40 to 60 percent markup on their wages. A $20 an hour worker costs you $28 to $32 through a staffing agency. And if you decide you want to keep that person, there is usually a buyout fee waiting for you.
High turnover is good for the staffing agency. It keeps you coming back. It is not good for you.

Search firms are expensive and disappear after the hire.

A traditional search firm charges you 20 to 30 percent of the new employee’s first year salary. On a $60,000 hire that is $12,000 to $18,000 — for one person, one time. After that they are gone.

Doing it yourself is costing you more than you think.

Every hour you spend sorting through applications, scheduling interviews, and making hiring decisions is an hour you are not running your business. And if you make a bad hire — which most people do when they are doing this on their own — the real cost is even higher.

Momentum is different because we are built for your situation.

You get a recruiter with 20 years of experience working inside your hiring process — not sending you resumes from the outside. We learn your business, we represent you to candidates, and we only send you people worth your time. Every one of them goes straight onto your payroll with no markup and no buyout fee.
