Staffing Agency Lead Generation by Phone

Staffing agency lead generation by phone means a caller contacts the companies you recruit for, finds the ones with roles to fill and books meetings with your team. Switchstack gives staffing and recruitment agencies a dedicated caller who phones hiring managers, HR and talent acquisition leaders, and operations managers, then books meetings with your recruiters or business development lead. A full-time caller costs $2,199 to $3,099 a month, set by the country your caller works from. There's no setup fee and no charge per meeting, and calls start in about 2 weeks.

Your caller works on finding new client companies only. Sourcing and placing candidates stays with your recruiters. Want to make the calls yourself? Use our recruitment agency cold calling script.

• Light industrial, warehouse and manufacturing staffing agencies
• IT, engineering and technical recruitment firms
• Office, accounting and finance staffing agencies
• Healthcare staffing agencies that place with clinics and care providers
• Agencies opening a new city, region or niche

It fits best when you know the roles you fill well, you have recruiters with room for new clients, and someone on your team can run the first meeting.

Who your caller phones, and who decides there, depends on the roles you place:

At large employers, temporary staffing often runs through a vendor program with an approved list of agencies. There, your caller asks who manages the list, how agencies get added and when it's next reviewed.

Companies look for a new agency when they have roles to fill and their current way of filling them isn't working. Your caller listens for these signals:

• The same role posted again and again, or open for weeks
• A new site, a new shift, a contract win or a seasonal peak
• A new head of HR or talent acquisition
• Growth news, such as funding, an acquisition or a new location
• Their current agency failing to fill roles or sending the wrong people

Job postings are the easiest signal to check before a call, so your caller can mention the role by name. When nothing is open, they ask when the company usually hires and call back before then.

On staffing calls, the same five objections come up again and again. We agree on the answers with you before calls start:

If someone says no twice, your caller thanks them and moves on. A polite call leaves the door open for the next time they're hiring.

Before calls start, we write down with you what a qualified meeting is, using four checks:

Your caller doesn't quote fees or discuss candidates. They write down the roles, how many people are needed, which agencies the company uses now and when it needs people, and hand the meeting to your team with those notes.

Your prospects are employers, so most calls fall under the lighter business-to-business rules. A few things still matter:

• In the US, the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule exempts most business-to-business calls, and business numbers are outside the Do Not Call Registry. A hiring manager's personal mobile may still be on it. Oklahoma and Maryland also limit most B2B sales calls to 8am to 8pm. See cold calling laws in the US and the rules by state.
• In the UK, the ICO's business-to-business guidance treats sole traders and some partnerships like individuals, so a B2B list needs screening against both the TPS and the CTPS. See cold calling laws in the UK.
• In Canada and Australia, calling hours apply to business calls too. See the guides for Canada and Australia.
