Types
- The Dealer often acts as a staffing firm. Those Dealers that place workers temporarily are called temp agencies. Some government employment offices may also place specified categories of workers such as disabled and/or senior workers and other protected groups.
Dealers vs employment agencies
- Both the Dealers and employment agencies deliver employment placements. However, their delivery models are the opposite.
- The Dealers hire the workers directly. Legally, the Dealers act as employers, while charging their clients for services of their employees.
- Employment agencies don't hire the workers. These agencies offer their clients workers for hire, while charging their clients recruitment fees.
