Frequently Asked Questions
What roles do you fill in Atlanta?
If you need to staff it, odds are we recruit for it.
Our Atlanta team places talent across Finance & Accounting, Administrative Support, Creative & Marketing, and Customer Experience – from operations support to specialists, managers, and C-suite executives. If a role falls outside those areas, ask anyway; with 30+ years in staffing, we can usually help or point you to someone who can.
We already have an internal recruiting team. When does it make sense to add an agency?
Internal teams are built for steady-state hiring. An agency earns its keep at the edges: confidential searches, specialized or hard-to-fill roles, project surges that would swamp your recruiters, and functions where your team has no bench. Most of our Atlanta clients run internal TA and use Atrium for the searches that would otherwise sit open – and because you keep the same Atrium team across searches, you brief us once and that context carries into every search after it.
What hiring models do you offer?
Temp (contract), temp-to-hire, and direct hire (permanent). We’ll recommend the right model for the role, your budget, and your timeline.
Is there any cost to get started, and how do your fees work?
There’s no upfront cost or retainer to begin a search. For direct-hire placements, you pay a one-time fee only if you hire a candidate we introduce. For temp and temp-to-hire, you’re billed a single hourly rate for hours worked that covers the associate’s pay, payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and benefits – no separate employer cost on your side. Our fees are competitive with other Atlanta staffing agencies, and we’ll walk you through the exact terms for your role before any agreement.
How quickly can you deliver candidates?
Speed is a core part of what we do. Our recruiters draw from an exclusive candidate database, 73% built from referrals, which means we’re not starting from scratch. Many of these professionals are passive candidates already vetted and ready to go, so we can move fast when you need us to.
What does the Atlanta hiring market look like right now?
Tight. Metro Atlanta is at record employment – roughly 3.1 million payroll jobs, with unemployment running near 3% through spring 2026 – and the metro added about 62,000 residents last year, the third-largest gain of any US metro. Employers here compete with one of the country’s densest concentrations of Fortune 500 headquarters for the same candidates. Practically, that means well-qualified people move fast and counteroffers are common, so speed and a warm candidate bench decide most searches.
Do we have to work with you exclusively?
No. You can engage us on a non-exclusive basis – you only pay if you hire someone we introduce. Most clients start with a single hire or a handful of roles, then move to an exclusive arrangement once we’ve proven ourselves. Either way, we’ll be upfront about the best approach for your search – even if that means recommending another firm.
How are temporary associates employed and paid?
Temporary associates are employed by Atrium as the Employer of Record. We handle onboarding, payroll, timesheets, workers’ compensation, benefits administration, and compliance – you get the talent without the administrative burden. You’re invoiced only for hours worked.
What's the difference between temp, temp-to-hire, and direct hire? And which is right for us?
Temporary/contract staffing means we place a professional on our payroll for a defined period to cover a project or a gap. You pay an all-inclusive hourly bill rate; we handle wages, payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and benefits. This is ideal for seasonal peaks, leave coverage, or project-based work like system implementations or office moves.
Temp-to-hire starts as a contract engagement with a defined path to permanent conversion. You get a working trial period before committing. Keep in mind that in a tight labor market, top candidates often prefer direct offers, so temp-to-hire works best when paired with a clear timeline and genuine intent to convert.
Direct hire means the candidate joins your payroll from day one. We manage the full search – sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer negotiation – and you pay a one-time placement fee. This is the strongest option for senior-level and leadership roles (Directors, VPs, C-suite) where long-term fit and institutional knowledge matter most.
Will candidates know our systems and our industry?
We screen for the exact tools your team runs – whether that’s an ERP or HRIS platform, a CRM, a ticketing system, or industry-specific software – and for relevant industry experience before we send a single resume. Tell us your stack and must-haves and we match to them.
How do you screen and vet candidates?
Structured interviews with a recruiter who knows the function, plus skills validation and technical assessments where the role calls for them – not keyword matching. We verify certifications and licenses where required and run reference checks with former supervisors, so the experience on the resume is the experience you get – unlike unscreened job-board applicants.
Does Georgia require E-Verify, and who handles it for temporary workers?
Yes. Georgia requires private employers with 11 or more employees to use E-Verify for new hires, and E-Verify registration is tied to business-license renewal for most companies. For temporary and contract workers, Atrium is the Employer of Record – we complete I-9 and E-Verify along with payroll, workers’ compensation, and benefits administration, so compliance for those workers sits with us, not your team.
How is a staffing agency different from posting on job boards ourselves?
Job boards cast a wide net, which means a high volume of unqualified applicants someone on your team has to sort through. A staffing agency works as a filter: recruiter expertise, an established talent network, and targeted sourcing deliver a short list of qualified, pre-screened candidates instead.
And because 73% of our database comes from referrals, we also reach passive candidates who aren’t applying anywhere – talent a job posting never surfaces.
How much does office location and commute matter when hiring in Atlanta?
More than in most metros. Candidates weigh ITP versus OTP (inside or outside the Perimeter), and a Midtown or Buckhead office draws from a different pool than Central Perimeter or Alpharetta. Offices near MARTA rail widen the radius; a long against-traffic commute quietly narrows it. Tell us where the seat sits and the schedule you need, and we’ll be straight with you about the pool that location actually reaches – and what it takes to win them.
How do I request talent?
Just reach out to our Atlanta team by phone at 404.592.8877 or fill out the contact form on this page. Tell us about the role, your timeline, and any must-haves, and we’ll take it from there. Our recruiters will develop a tailored search strategy and start presenting qualified candidates quickly.
