Contemporaries

Contemporaries is a Boston-based staffing agency that takes pride in delivering the human touch to recruitment, boasting an impressive 98% success rate in placements. As a certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), they position themselves as an alternative to impersonal, large corporate staffing agencies.

Contemporaries specializes in reducing clients' search, sourcing, and screening time by carefully matching the right candidates to each position. They work with a sense of urgency that matches their clients' needs while maintaining thorough vetting processes. The agency emphasizes their personal approach, distinguishing themselves from what they call 'large, impersonal, corporate meat-grinder Boston staffing agencies.'

The company offers comprehensive staffing solutions across multiple sectors including administrative, engineering, government, and IT staffing. Their IT division provides highly qualified temporary and contract employees with technical skills needed to handle evolving IT landscapes, sourcing specialists in areas ranging from web design and JavaScript to SAP and network administration.

Contemporaries also provides payrolling services, taking the complexity out of contingent workforce management by handling payroll taxes, workers' compensation, liability insurance, and benefits for client companies. They serve as a strategic partner for organizations that need staff but lack funding or approval for full-time permanent positions.

The agency maintains strong community ties, proudly supporting the Boston-based non-profit Heartank and holding multiple certifications that demonstrate their commitment to diversity and government contracting capabilities. Their blog provides ongoing career advice and workplace insights, reflecting their commitment to supporting both job seekers and employers throughout the employment lifecycle.
