The Real Cost of DIY Hiring
Many employers assume that hiring in-house is the most cost-effective option, but recruitment comes with hidden expenses:
- Job Postings & Advertising Costs – Paid listings on platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, or ZipRecruiter add up quickly.
- Screening & Background Checks – Time and money spent on verifying credentials, conducting background checks, and interviewing candidates.
- Lost Productivity – Every unfilled role means lost revenue and increased workload on existing staff.
- Turnover Costs – The cost of hiring the wrong person is far greater than investing in a strategic hire.
Is Hiring Through Staffing Agencies Worth It When You Need to Hire Fast?
- The AGA Group has a pipeline of pre-screened candidates—meaning employers save time and can avoid desperate hiring decisions.
- Speed-to-hire matters—every day a position remains vacant impacts business operations, customer service, and revenue.

The Myth of “Too Expensive” Hiring
