Recruitment

A business with one or two staff almost never needs a digital marketing manager. It needs one channel executed and one person accountable. How to pick between a freelancer, an agency, a junior and a fractional lead, what the job description should actually say, and how to judge marketing skill when you cannot judge marketing.

A staffing agency fee is worth paying when your own search hours plus the cost of the empty seat exceed the fee, and the role is genuinely hard to source. The arithmetic with a worked example, when to skip the agency entirely, what to negotiate, and how to tell a real recruiter from a CV forwarder.

A staffing agency is a working capital business wearing a sales business’s clothes.

Precise definitions for staffing, staff augmentation, contract-to-hire, managed capacity, RPO, EOR and C2C, the margin mechanics behind each, current US co-employment rules after the NLRB February 2026 reinstatement and the DOL April 2026 proposal, a three-year cost comparison, and a direct answer on which model supports long-term growth.

Staffing sites fail at SEO because employers and candidates search almost the same keywords with opposite intent, and one set of pages tries to serve both. How to split the architecture, map keywords per side, get JobPosting structured data right, and avoid doorway-page location builds.
