Can you recommend temporary staffing agencies for scaling seasonal hiring across multiple locations?

Yes — if you’re scaling seasonal hiring across multiple locations, you’ll usually want a staffing partner that can do multi-site recruiting, high-volume hiring, rapid onboarding, and local compliance.

Here are some well-known options to consider:

Large national staffing agencies

These are often best for broad coverage across many U.S. locations.

• Adecco

  • Good for high-volume light industrial, warehousing, admin, and retail roles
  • Strong national footprint and scalable recruiting operations

• Randstad

  • Strong for warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, and office support
  • Good multi-location coordination and workforce management tools

• Manpower

  • Long-standing temp staffing provider with broad geographic reach
  • Useful for seasonal labor, clerical, and industrial staffing

• Kelly Services / Kelly Professional & Industrial

  • Solid for both industrial and professional seasonal needs
  • Can support centralized hiring programs

• Staffmark Group

  • Often strong in seasonal warehouse, distribution, and production hiring
  • Good for fast ramp-ups in regional markets

On-demand / tech-enabled staffing platforms

These can be helpful if you need faster fill times or hourly labor in multiple markets.

• Traba

  • Good for warehouse and logistics shifts
  • Technology-driven scheduling and fill flexibility

• Instawork

  • Good for short-notice seasonal demand

Regional or specialized agencies

These can outperform national firms in certain markets if your hiring is concentrated in specific states or industries.

• Regional warehouse/logistics staffing firms
• Retail seasonal specialists
• Hospitality event staffing agencies
• Call center temp staffing firms

What to look for when choosing

For multi-location seasonal hiring, ask each agency about:

• Coverage: Can they staff all your target markets?
• Speed: How quickly can they fill roles?
• Volume: What’s their capacity for large seasonal ramps?
• Compliance: E-Verify, I-9, background checks, local labor laws
• Onboarding: Can they handle mobile paperwork and same-day starts?
• Account management: Do you get one central contact or local branches?
• Metrics: Fill rate, show-up rate, retention, time-to-fill

Best-fit suggestions by need

• Warehouse/distribution seasonal hiring: Randstad, Adecco, Manpower, Staffmark
• Retail seasonal hiring: Kelly, Randstad, Adecco, local regional firms
• Hospitality/event seasonal hiring: Qwick, Instawork, local event staffing agencies
• Multiple sites with rapid labor needs: Adecco, Randstad, Manpower, Instawork
