3 Reasons Not to Call Us
Think you have a good reason not to call a staffing agency? We’ve heard them all — and we’re calling them out. In fact, we don’t want you to call with those misconceptions floating around in your head. So here’s the real story behind the top excuses not to call … and why picking up the phone might actually save both your sanity and your bottom line.
🧾 Reason #1: “I don’t like spending the money.”
We get it. Budgets matter, especially right now. But hiring costs somebody something, and if you are doing it that somebody is you, so it’s important that you’ve counted your own cost.
When you post on Indeed, you pay for every click (sometimes multiple times) with no guarantee of a good candidate. When you finally hire and it doesn’t work out? The average cost of turnover in 2025 for an office role can easily exceed 30% of the position’s salary — and that’s before factoring in lost productivity and team burnout.
Our bill rate covers all that “blue area” you’d pay for anyway with a new hire — job ads, screening, testing, onboarding, payroll, compliance — but we handle it faster, smarter, and better. You’re paying us for productive hours only, and the math almost always comes out in your favor.
📊 Pro Tip: The cost of one bad hire = way more than the cost of one good call.
🙃 Reason #2: “We’re desperate enough to take pretty much anyone!”
We cringe when we hear this one — usually from clients who’ve already spent weeks trying to hire through job boards and now fear no qualified candidates are available. The assumption? We’ll just send “anybody.” The truth? We don’t do “anybody.”
Our Certified Staffing Professionals are constantly interviewing, screening, and testing a live database of qualified candidates who are ready to work. Most are actually seeking long-term or permanent roles and want a real human advocate (that’s us) connecting them to great employers. Can you blame them for coming here when the world of job boards is so impersonal and non-responsive?
So no, you won’t get a “random temp” (although there will always be value in true temporary help when needed) — you’ll get someone who fits your culture, skills, and schedule. Don’t believe us? Check our reviews — both our clients and our employees rave about their experience.
💬 Reality: Desperation hires are expensive. Smart hires start with the conversations we have in our offices with both you and the job seekers we meet.
⏰ Reason #3: “We can do it ourselves.”
Of course you could — but every hour spent writing job ads, reviewing applications, and scheduling interviews is an hour not spent running your business. Not to mention the time you really should spend keeping up with employment laws, pay scales, workplace trends, and best practices if you truly want to be an employer who is capable of attracting the right talent to your organization.
We’re not your competition; we’re your virtual HR department, complete with Certified Staffing Professionals who live and breathe this process all day, every day, with ongoing professional education we are happy to share with you. You stay in control of the hiring decisions — we just make everything else faster, easier, and a lot less stressful.
⚙️ Think of us as your on-demand HR pros — without the overhead.
✨ So… Don’t Call Us — Unless You’re Ready to Win Back Your Time.
We’ll take your “too expensive,” “too desperate,” and “too busy” and turn them into the best hiring decision you’ll make all year. Because when you call us, you’re not just filling a seat — you’re reclaiming your time, your sanity, and your bottom line.
