Recruitment agencies are very good at helping companies find great talent, usually on a permanent ("direct") basis. Often, however, companies would like to hire candidates on a temporary basis, either because the job is temporary or they need time to vet the candidate in a live environment. To maintain compliance, the companies need the candidate to be hired by another firm as a W-2 contractor and contracted back to them. Unfortunately, many recruitment agencies don't have the time, resources, or desire to handle the back-office necessary to offer this product.
