The 10 Best Engineer Staffing Agencies

Whether you’re looking for professional staffing solutions or your next career opportunity, staffing agencies can help.

Companies pay staffing agencies to find employees for them. Job seekers can, therefore, turn to staffing agencies to find specific job roles for them or, often, agencies will reach out to potential candidates via email through online portfolios or LinkedIn and other platforms to recommend job openings. Job seekers do not pay staffing agencies; rather, most agencies get paid by the company if they actually place a recruiter job seeker with the company and some companies just pay agencies to do the hunting work for them, even if the recruits don't get placed.

Here are 10 top engineering staffing agencies out there to help you find a job in engineering or to help you recruit talent for your company.
