Does Working With a Staffing Agency Cost You Anything?

17 Sep Does Working With a Staffing Agency Cost You Anything?

If you’ve never worked with a staffing agency before, it’s fair to ask if a staffing agency costs you money or anything extra before you send over a resume.

What Will Using a Staffing Agency Cost You?

Here’s the short answer: nothing. At LeadingEdge Personnel, our services are always free to job seekers. We get paid by the businesses who hire us to find them great people, not by the candidates we place. You never pay a fee, a percentage or a “finder’s charge” to work with us. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first assignment or your fiftieth; using a staffing agency costs you nothing. That’s standard across reputable staffing agencies, but it’s still one of the most common questions we hear from people considering this path for the first time, so it’s worth saying plainly.

“Free” is really just the starting point. The bigger question is what you get once you’re placed, and that’s where a lot of job seekers are surprised.

Specialists Who Match You to the Role

The team members who review your resume aren’t just checking boxes; they’re trained to understand what you’re actually looking for and match you to a role you’ll want to stay in. That’s a big part of why temp-to-hire placements through LeadingEdge so often turn into long-term careers. You get real weeks on the floor to decide if a role fits, before anything becomes permanent. Plus, you have a specialist in your corner the whole way.

Opportunities Across More Than One Field

We’re not just placing candidates into generic office roles. We match job seekers in San Antonio and Austin into legal, medical, accounting, administrative, clerical and call center positions, so if you have experience or interest in a specific field, our recruiters know how to place you where it counts, not just where there’s an opening. Whether you’re looking to grow in the field you already know or try a specialty for the first time, a member of our team can talk through what’s realistic with your work history.

Real Pay, On Your Terms

When you’re placed through LeadingEdge Personnel, you choose how you get paid: a pay card or direct deposit, whichever fits how you already manage money. No waiting on a paper check, no guessing when funds will land.

Benefits that Show Up for You
