Frequently asked questions
Do construction staffing agencies cost money?▾
No. Staffing agencies are paid by the employer, never the worker. If an agency asks you for a fee, walk away.
Can staffing lead to a permanent job?▾
Often yes — many temp and temp-to-hire placements convert to permanent roles, and they're a great way to get site experience and references.
