I've done this and still do it. Once you find the person at the staffing agency that you can clearly communicate the qualities of the desired individual with it will save so you much time. They stay on the staffing co's payroll for 60-90 days and then are transferred to our payroll. To transfer them to our payroll after 60-90 days is cheaper in that it shields our unemployment rate, our worker's comp rate etc. After that initial 60-90 day period the cost benefit begins to significantly decrease.

Your scenario sounds like they are more than a staffing agency...sounds like employee leasing / PEO services with a staffing department....as such worker's comp, payroll taxes, and unemployment taxes are all covered. Sounds like Aurstaff?
