Yes — but the best fit is usually high-volume staffing/recruiting firms with national or multi-office coverage rather than “hard-to-fill roles” specialists in the narrow sense. If you’re hiring across multiple locations and need speed plus consistency, look for firms that offer:

  • Multi-site / multi-location recruiting
  • RPO or on-site recruiting
  • High-volume hourly or salaried hiring
  • Specialized practice areas for hard-to-fill roles like healthcare, skilled trades, logistics, IT, finance, or manufacturing

A few types of providers to consider:

1) Large staffing and recruiting firms

These often have multiple branches and can scale across locations:

  • Randstad
  • Adecco
  • ManpowerGroup
  • Robert Half (stronger in office/professional roles)
  • Korn Ferry (more executive/specialized, less true high-volume)

2) RPO providers

If you need ongoing hiring across several offices, RPO firms can be a better fit than traditional agencies:

  • KellyOCG
  • Allegis Global Solutions
  • Cielo
  • Pontoon
  • PeopleScout

3) Industry-specific high-volume recruiters

These are useful if the roles are difficult and niche:

  • Healthcare: firms focused on clinical staffing
  • Skilled trades/manufacturing: local/national trade staffing groups
  • Logistics/warehouse: high-volume hourly staffing specialists
  • Tech/IT: specialist technical recruiters with multi-location coverage

How to choose

Ask each provider:

  • How many locations they support simultaneously
  • Their time-to-fill for similar roles
  • Whether they can recruit for both hard-to-fill and high-volume roles
  • Their candidate sourcing channels in each market
  • Whether they offer local recruiters with centralized reporting
  • Their pricing model: contingency, retained, or RPO

If you want, I can also give you a shortlist by industry and geography or help you build an RFP scorecard for evaluating these services.
