See how your agency stacks up against 231 operators and where the agencies that grew last year are putting their resources.

In 2025, 42% of staffing agencies lost revenue. This report shows you what the other 58% did differently, plus what every operator should be measuring in 2026.

Inside the report:

• Growth benchmarks: how your agency compares on time to fill, fill rate, recruiter pay, gross margin, and bill rates, with breakdowns by vertical and growth tier.
• The growth divide: the three operational practices that separated growth agencies from contracting ones in 2025, and the two factors most operators assume matter but didn't.
• Operational maturity: a scorecard of seven core habits (weekly KPI review, pipeline meeting, scorecard ownership, documented SOPs, and more), and how growth agencies show up differently across all of them.
• AI outcomes: how AI adoption depth correlates with revenue growth, plus which processes growth agencies are automating first.
• Sourcing mix: where growth agencies find talent, and how their reliance on owned channels (referrals, direct sourcing, internal database) compares to the rest of the industry.
