Why Most Staffing Agencies Get It Wrong

…and what we’re doing differently at Infinite Resources

Let’s be honest—staffing agencies don’t always have the best reputation. And in many cases… it’s deserved.

We’ve seen it ourselves:
🚫 Agencies that ghost their clients once a position is filled
🚫 Candidates who are thrown into jobs without proper vetting
🚫 Zero follow-up, zero accountability, zero results

At Infinite Resources, we set out to do things differently—because we had to. Businesses deserve better. So do the people looking for work.

Here’s where most agencies get it wrong—and how we’re flipping the script:


1. They Prioritize Volume Over Fit

Most agencies want to fill as many jobs as fast as possible. It’s a numbers game. But you don’t need more resumes—you need the right person.

Our approach: We ask questions most agencies don’t. We get to know your workflow, team dynamic, and company culture. We match real humans to real environments—not just skillsets to bullet points.


2. They Disappear After the Hire

The job gets filled, the agency cashes in, and suddenly they’re nowhere to be found.

Our approach: We stay involved. We follow up. We support our clients and candidates long after the onboarding process. Because we care about long-term retention—not short-term wins.


3. They Offload Risk to You

From payroll taxes to workers’ comp to marketing costs, many agencies pass those burdens right back to the client—or just avoid talking about them altogether.

Our approach: We carry the load.

  • We handle all marketing and recruiting expenses
  • We cover payroll taxes and workers’ comp
  • And if you’re on a net-30, we’re essentially fronting the payroll

You get top-tier talent without the financial weight. That’s what partnership looks like.


4. They Forget People Are Human

It’s easy to treat workers like a number when you’re playing the volume game. But good candidates are more than a line on a resume—and businesses deserve better too.

Our approach: We treat everyone—clients and candidates—with respect. We’re transparent, we’re responsive, and we’re building relationships, not transactions.


Bottom Line?

We don’t want to be like “most staffing agencies.” We want to be your business partner, your behind-the-scenes ally, your boots-on-the-ground solution.

Give us a shot—especially if you’ve been burned before. You’ll feel the difference from day one.

Ready when you are.
