Staffing Agencies

The highest-margin requisitions on your desk are the ones you cannot fill.

Specialist network and voice roles pay well precisely because most agencies cannot screen for them. We are the technical delivery layer you do not have in-house, and you keep the client relationship entirely.

Staffing Agencies is a vertical entry point rather than a service. It exists because specialist network and voice requisitions are commercially attractive and operationally dangerous — no recruiter can screen them.

What that costs you

What an unfillable requisition actually costs.

  • Low fill rates on the highest-margin requisitions you handle.
  • A failed placement on a specialist role damages an account relationship that took years to build.
  • Your client concludes you cannot service technical requirements and routes them elsewhere.
  • The requisition sits open while a competitor with a technical partner fills it.

Why the usual answer fails

The second outcome costs the account.

No recruiter can assess whether a candidate genuinely understands a dial-plan conflict or an SBC misconfiguration. So the role either goes unfilled, or it gets filled on resume match and fails at the client — and the second outcome costs the account.

How we work

You are never disintermediated.

You submit the role. We source candidates and a practicing Solution Architect conducts the technical interview, producing a written assessment. You present under your brand and keep the relationship, the contract and the margin structure. You are never disintermediated; that is the basis of the model.

Before taking a role we usually ask what the client's last failed hire got wrong — the answer tells us more about the real requirement than the job description does.

What you receive

What the arrangement gives you.

  • Technical validation your team cannot perform in-house
  • A written technical assessment to present alongside the candidate
  • Coverage across Cisco CCNA/CCNP and CUCM, Avaya CM/Aura, Teams Direct Routing, SBC platforms and network automation
  • Co-Managed or Dedicated structures depending on what your client wants
  • A materially lower bad-placement rate on roles that are otherwise high-risk

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Will you approach our client directly?

No. The engagement is with your agency and the client relationship is yours. That is the entire premise of the model.

Whose brand does the candidate see?

Yours, in the client-facing process. How the technical validation is presented is agreed with you.

What if our client wants to hire directly?

That is the Dedicated structure — we source and validate, your client hires directly, and the 30-day hiring and 90-day replacement guarantees apply.

How quickly can you validate a candidate?

Co-Managed roles carry a 7-day shortlist guarantee from a fully scoped requirement.

Do you cover roles outside network and voice?

Adjacent technical roles only. We decline what we cannot validate to the same standard.

How does this affect our margin?

The commercial arrangement is agreed upfront and your client-facing pricing stays yours.

Can a staffing agency sub-contract technical screening?

Yes. Lumensoft acts as the technical delivery layer: you submit the role, a practicing Solution Architect conducts the technical interview and produces a written assessment, and you present to your client under your own brand. The client relationship, the contract and your margin structure stay yours.
