When Hiring’s a B!@$%, It Pays To Have a Backup.
You’re the “I’ve got a plan” person, but when your go-to staffing agency doesn’t have the range, a role goes unfilled, or staffing is just being a giant B. That’s when you call us.

Smart Leaders Always Have a Plan (Plan B, That Is)
Backup Plans: you don’t always need one. But when you do, you’ll be glad it’s there. Because hiring breakdowns tend to happen in Bs.
“I called my current staffing firm and haven’t heard back from them in a week.”
Your primary’s voicemail box is full and they’re just...beeping silent. We’d never ghost you.
“I need an experienced accountant and my go-to firm has been sending me people who don’t know the difference between a debit and credit.”
Close enough doesn’t cut it in accounting. We can bring people who balance more than just vibes.
“I needed an HR Generalist two weeks ago. My partner’s still ‘looking into it.’”
Your staffing partner is on buffer. We’re already screening candidates.
“My star employee left with no notice after getting poached. Now what?”
Your Plan A just peaced out. Time for your Plan B to clock in (it’s us…we’re Plan B.)
“Maternity leave, meet month-end reporting.”
Say less. Let’s get your team some help before finance files a cry for help of its own.
“We already have a staffing partner—but they just picked up a huge account and don't have the bandwidth for our role right now.”
No shade to your usual go-to. But when their plate’s full (and the req’s still open), we’re the overflow you can count on—no waiting list required.
