A workforce dealer (hereinafter, the Dealer) is a person or company that buys and sells work time of the workers who possess certain KSAs and available to work.


Classification

Types

The Dealer often acts as a staffing firm. Those Dealers that place workers temporarily are called temp agencies and temporary employees are called contingent workers.
Some government employment offices may also place specified categories of workers such as disabled and/or senior workers and other protected groups. Their payroll usually comes from the government or non-governmental donors.

Dealers vs agencies

Both the Dealers and employment agencies deliver employment placements. However, their delivery models are the opposite.
The Dealers hire the workers directly as employees. Legally, the Dealers act as employers, while charging their clients for services performed by their employees.
On the contrary, employment agencies don't hire the workers. These agencies offer their clients workers for hire, while charging their clients recruitment fees. Their clients either (a) act as employers and hire the workers as employees or (b) hire the workers directly as independent contractors.
