Once you reach out, the process typically begins with an intake conversation where your staffing partner learns about the role requirements, team dynamics, company culture, and timeline.

From there, we get to work to source, screen, and presents a shortlist of qualified candidates for your review. You remain in control of the final hiring decision, we handle the heavy lifting of sourcing, vetting, and coordinating, so your team can stay focused on day-to-day operations.

For temporary and contract placements, agencies typically charge a bill rate that includes the worker's pay plus a markup that covers payroll taxes, workers' compensation, benefits, and the agency's recruiting and administrative costs.

For direct hire (permanent placement), fees are usually calculated as a percentage of the new hire's first-year salary.

Either way, many companies find that the total cost is lower than the expense of running an extended search internally when factoring in job board fees, lost productivity from unfilled roles, and the risk of a bad hire.

Your Atrium representative will walk you through a transparent pricing structure tailored to your specific needs.

We offer temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire placement options. Need someone to cover a leave or a seasonal surge? We've got it. Looking for a permanent addition to your team? Executive search? We handle that too. Our approach flexes to match your timeline, budget, and business goals.

For temporary and contract placements, Atrium serves as the employer of record. That means we handle payroll, employment taxes, workers' compensation insurance, and benefits administration.

You direct the worker's day-to-day tasks and manage their output, but the administrative and compliance burden stays with us.

Speed is a core part of what we do. Our recruiters draw from an exclusive candidate database, 73% built from referrals, which means we're not starting from scratch. Many of these professionals are passive candidates already vetted and ready to go, so we can move fast when you need us to.

Just reach out to our Tampa team by phone at 813.805.8900 or fill out the contact form on this page. Tell us about the role, your timeline, and any must-haves, and we'll take it from there. Our recruiters will develop a tailored search strategy and start presenting qualified candidates quickly.

Look for a firm with proven expertise in your functional area, a track record of client retention (which signals satisfaction), a well-developed and diverse candidate network, and a transparent approach to pricing and communication. Ask about their screening process, guarantee policies, and how they ensure cultural fit, not just skills matching. 

Absolutely. A staffing partner manages sourcing, screening, and initial vetting, but you always make the final hiring decision. Your agency partner should present a curated shortlist of candidates who meet your requirements, along with context on each person's strengths and fit. You then interview your top choices and select the one you want to bring on board.

Atrium's approach is designed to make that interview process more efficient and productive because every candidate we present has already been thoroughly evaluated for both qualifications and alignment with your team.

Job boards cast a wide net, but they also generate a high volume of unqualified applicants that someone on your team has to sort through. A staffing agency does the opposite. It acts as a filter, leveraging recruiter expertise, established talent networks, and targeted sourcing strategies to deliver only the most qualified, pre-screened candidates. You save significant time and reduce the risk of a costly mis-hire.

Atrium's recruiters bring deep industry expertise and local market knowledge, combined with access to a specialized candidate network that most job board postings simply won't reach, including passive candidates who aren't actively applying but are open to the right opportunity.

This is one of the biggest strategic advantages of a staffing partnership. Whether you're ramping up for a seasonal peak, staffing a new project, backfilling during a hiring freeze, or expanding into new markets, a strong agency partner flexes with you. Atrium operates from 17+ offices across the U.S., Canada, and EMEA, giving us the global footprint to scale programs up or down as your workforce needs evolve, without sacrificing the personalized, high-touch service that makes the partnership effective.
