Finding an employment agency in New York City
If you have a set of skills and are looking for a position, there are many employment agencies to choose from in New York. I have compiled this list to help you out. If you are looking for more information about the recruitment process in New York City, check out the article I wrote.
An employment agency is an organization which matches employers to employees. In New York, there is a publicly funded employment agency and multiple private businesses which also act as employment agencies.
A temporary work agency, or "temp agency" or temporary staffing firm finds and retains workers. Other companies, in need of short-term workers, usually contract with the temp agency to send temporary workers, or temps, on assignment to work at the other companies. Temporary employees are also used in work that has a cyclical nature that requires frequent adjustment of staffing levels. Full positions are not guaranteed, but many people have reported getting full employment as a result of using a temp agency. There are also many of these in New York.
Advantages to those seeking employment from a temp agency are:

Looking for more employment agencies in New York City?
There are many more places in the city. Results vary with each agency, and some are better at matching people up with certain types of jobs than others. Also note that some agencies focus more on tech companies, while others focus on administrative and accounting, so be sure to research the agency you are going to work with before you go in. Also, if the agency lines you up for an interview, be sure to research the company and the position you are interviewing for. In fact, many companies weed out would be employees who do not take the time to research the jobs. Being interested in the position and the company goes a long way.

Advantages to those seeking employment from a temp agency are:
- Easy hire: Those meeting technical requirements for the particular type of work are often virtually guaranteed a job without a selection process.
- Flexible hours; a choice of which shifts to work; the ability to take off for weekends, holidays, vacations, personal appointments, or for any other reason of choice, or to work on such days for additional pay
- Pay rates are sometimes higher than the customary wages in a comparable permanent position.
- The likelihood of getting fired is often lower than in a permanent position, though a client of the agency can make a request for the temporary worker not to return, even if only for a minor infraction. Many agencies, such as OfficeTeam have three-strike polices in this regard.
- In the United States benefits packages are limited to medical insurance as mandated by law, a few reputable agencies offer additional benefits (vision, dental, life, 401k, etc) to the temporary associates that they place.
- Temp to hire positions have been known to have high turn over rates.
