Staffing agencies are actually paying their biggest competitor to find talent.

Staffing agencies are literally paying their biggest competitor to find talent.

Make it make sense. 🤔

You have a competitor (Indeed) that owns the main advertising medium, and instead of beating them at their own game, you keep feeding the beast.

They’ve screwed over staffing agencies time and again, leveraging the industry to test new tools, prove they work, and then start charging premium rates for use.

That’s fine, it’s a normal business model, except Indeed is allowing other industries to continue to use features for free, and Staffing is now charged a premium.

This started with job postings, now they're doing it with Indeed Flex - literally stealing clients from agencies.

And yet... agencies keep writing them checks every month.

It's like paying your competitor's marketing budget while they actively work to put you out of business.

The reality is:
Every dollar you spend with Indeed funds their mission to eliminate the middleman (that's you).

The solution?

→ Stop competing where they control the game.

→ Meet candidates where they already are: on social media & on their phones.

→ Create your own ecosystem instead of renting space in theirs.
The gig platforms figured this out years ago.

They don't post jobs on job boards - they built their own platforms and market directly to their customers.

Why aren’t all staffing agencies doing the same?
