staffing firm

Temporary worker source

A staffing firm is a company that recruits and supplies workers to other businesses, typically for temporary or contract positions.

The client company pays the staffing firm, which employs the workers directly: We hired three developers through a staffing firm.

Also called a staffing agency or temp agency, though staffing firm often implies placement of higher-skilled or permanent employees.
