“Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.” - Gloria Steinem

Today we take a moment to honor Steinem's rich legacy: her wit, her activism, and her enduring commitment to equality.

As a woman owned and operated, WBE certified business, we are acutely aware of the path forged by Steinem and generations of women who fought to expand opportunity and equity in the workplace and beyond. We’re proud to carry that work forward in our own way, every day.

"35+ years in this business, and I still care about every single search the way I did on day one.

That's not nostalgia talking. How we’ve upheld our standards is one of the things I'm proudest of. Cutting corners can become easier to justify when the pressure is on: letting the standard slide, letting volume matter more than fit, or letting speed matter more than the right hire. Plenty of other firms have made trades like that, but never us.

I think about this every time we bring someone new onto our team. Our standard doesn't get explained once and left to fade. It gets repeated, checked, and upheld during the busy weeks and the slower ones, because the moment a standard becomes situational is the moment it stops being a standard at all.

Every year we've been in business is a year someone trusted us to get it right, and we don't take that for granted." - City Staffing CEO, Daphne Dolan

When you partner with a staffing agency, you shouldn't have to rebuild trust every quarter because your account was rotated to a junior team.

At City Staffing, our approach is built on continuity: you get a single point of contact for every role.

Whether you’re hiring a temporary accountant or a C-suite assistant, you work with a dedicated account lead from the first intake call to the final placement. We eliminate junior staff hand-offs because we know that losing continuity means losing momentum.

100% of our searches are led by staffing experts with 8–15 years of tenure. We don't just focus on the transaction; we hold ourselves accountable to retention and your long-term success.

Need talent? We’re already on it.

Every candidate search at City Staffing is led by a recruiter with 5 to 15 years of experience. Not someone new to the account. Not someone still learning the ropes. The person running your search has already placed hundreds of candidates and knows exactly what to look for.

That kind of experience impacts what a recruiter catches on a search. Anyone can match keywords on a resume. It takes real time in the industry to know which candidates will genuinely thrive in a specific environment, and which ones only look right on paper. That kind of judgment isn't something you can shortcut, and it's not something every firm invests in.

At City Staffing, there are no handoffs. The recruiter who takes your call is the same recruiter who closes your search, start to finish. You're not getting passed down a chain once the relationship starts; you're working with the person who's staying on the job the whole way through.

That's not a nice-to-have. That's the City Staffing standard.

AI can screen a resume in seconds. It can't tell you if someone's actually going to deliver.

Keyword matching, skills parsing, ranked candidate lists: all of that is fast and genuinely useful. But AI can't sit across from someone and get a read on how they'll handle pressure or notice the way someone talks about a past failure that tells you more than their resume ever could. That takes a person paying attention, not a system scanning for matches.

Here’s the piece that a lot of "AI-first" hiring conversations skip past: tools can narrow the field, but they can’t make the final call. The firms that forget this are going to make some expensive mistakes.

Technology should move hiring faster. It shouldn't replace the judgment that gets hiring done right.

Some firms measure success by how fast they can fill a role. We measure success in terms of impact and longevity. The hire that’s thriving on the team a year later? The temp that jumped in and helped a project run smoothly from day one? That’s what real staffing success looks like.

And that kind of success is harder to fake. It takes real screening, real recruiter relationships, and real accountability past day one. It takes more intention and more honest conversations about what a role actually requires. It takes the kind of service and expertise that clients stick with year after year, search after search.

You can usually tell which side a firm is on within the first conversation. One is trying to close a deal quickly. The other is trying to understand the problem, so they can solve it for you.

We're on the side that plays the long game because we’re committed to providing lasting value to every client and candidate we work with.

Good hiring isn't transactional. Neither are we.
