Our Services
Temporary
Temporary employees give you the flexibility to control your workforce needs without adding to your full-time headcount. Whether you have a team member going on leave, or a busy season coming up or require staff to complete a project, temporary employees are the perfect solution to maintaining workplace productivity. We have a large pool of talented candidates to meet your unique staffing needs.
Temp to Perm
Temp-to-Perm allows you to review a potential employee’s performance to evaluate whether an individual will fit into your working environment – all at no risk to you. Our temp-to-perm option is a great way to assess an employee’s skills and cultural fit before making a hiring decision.
Direct Hire
Many of our clients need high-level direct hire employees right away. We understand that the people you employ define who you are and the shape of your organization. We add value by making the recruitment process easier, faster, and more successful. We will work with you step by step through the entire selection process, including arranging interviews, making the job offer, salary negotiations if necessary, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
Payroll Services
Have you already identified a candidate you want to hire? We take care of payroll administration, tax reporting, workers’ compensation, unemployment, state and federal taxes, insurance deductions, and W-2 issues so you can concentrate on your core business. It’s that simple!

Frequently Asked Questions
A staffing agency is a business that matches employers with qualified temporary and permanent employees. Staffing agencies provide employers with access to a larger pool of candidates and help companies save time in the recruitment process by managing the recruiting, screening, and selecting process.
City Personnel places great importance on connecting candidates to our clients through not only their skills and experience but their personalities as well. During our interactions, we strive to get to know both the candidate and the company closely to ensure we send individuals who not only have the required skills, but also match the unique culture of the organization.
Our screening process includes phone interviews, in-person/virtual meetings, reference checks, background checks, skill evaluations, and more. Our approach allows us to carefully consider both hard and soft skills prior to sending resumes to potential employers - this way, we can provide the perfect blend of experience and personality for each placement.
City Personnel fees only apply to the company looking for employees, not job seekers.
Our fees for direct hire are determined by the annual salaries offered. All direct hire placements are guaranteed.
The fee for temporary services varies and is mainly determined by the employee's pay rate. However, the hourly bill rates can be influenced by factors such as the volume of business, the nature of the job, and the supply and demand for the skillset. Workers hired on a temporary basis are treated as an employee of City Personnel. There are minimum labor charges that are incurred under state and federal regulatory requirements, in addition to labor costs, insurance, and benefits. Please contact our office to discuss our fee structure.
