Choosing to go through a staffing agency for employment can be scary.  More and more professionals are choosing to work contract and temp to perm assignments. Why? The possibilities are endless!  The appeal to work at a variety of challenging positions is starting to look appealing in todays job market.   In staffing, there is no “same old- same old”. Every position is different and an opportunity to build your resume with new skills.  Each contract is great for networking/future referrals and a possibility to go permanent with the company of your dreams.  Another reason to choose a staffing agency is it opens the door to opportunities that may not be accessible to the average job seeker.  Prestigious companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Sony (to name a few) are using staffing agencies to source the best candidates.
