Contemporaries

Boston staffing for office, creative and IT roles

Contemporaries has placed workers with Boston, Massachusetts employers for more than three decades, by its own account. It supplies temporary, temp-to-permanent, contract and permanent staff. Its site describes the work as results-oriented staffing for administrative, creative and technical roles, available at short notice.

The Right Match method

The agency says its recruiters use a methodology it calls Right Match to make placements that suit both employers and the people it places. It argues that employers can reduce the time and cost of searching, sourcing and screening by letting an experienced agency choose the person best suited to each position. It states that it works with urgency but without shortcuts.

Ways to hire

Employers can choose the arrangement that suits the vacancy: a short assignment, an assignment that may turn permanent, a longer contract, a contract that leads to direct employment, or a straight permanent hire. The agency has added direct hire and payroll services to its original focus on contract and flexible staff, and it describes payrolling, direct hires and contract staff as the three pillars of what it offers. Its site has separate pages for administrative, creative services, IT, payrolling and government staffing.

For job seekers

Candidates can look at current openings and read the agency's advice on interviews and the workplace. The agency also publishes a blog of workplace and hiring advice, and a section for employers on how to choose between agencies.

The agency's own pages call it a trusted partner among staffing agencies in Boston, and its site invites employers to submit a job order online.

The agency reports that it was named one of the best staffing agencies in Boston for 2023, and it marked twenty-five years of work with a thank-you to its candidates and clients.
