King & Bishop

King & Bishop Staffing Services has offered staffing and recruiting since 1983, and says that over those years it has helped companies hire thousands of people. The services are built around the client's business rather than sold as a fixed package: short term contractors, contract to hire employees, permanent placement, executive search, managed services and ongoing recruiting support. Its payrolling service is offered as a way for clients to save time and reduce risk on workers they have already identified. The company also runs career transition services, coaching and outplacement for individuals, and a CheckMate offering, and it presents Finishline Staffing Services as an associated brand. The business is led by owners John Bogosian and Brendan King, working with a team of search professionals, executive search consultants, career coaches and business development staff.

Beyond general staffing, King & Bishop runs three specialist lines under the People Vantage name. People Vantage HR provides fractional human resources support to companies that need HR expertise without a full time hire. People Vantage Legal covers fractional General Counsel work, retained and contingent legal search, interim legal support and contract to permanent hires for legal teams. People Vantage Sales is the sales hiring practice, with its own defined services and a stated view on which companies should use it. Alongside these sit a dedicated executive search practice and a coaching and outplacement practice, each staffed by named specialists, and the company publishes the industry verticals it recruits into.

The company is based near Boston, Massachusetts, which it says anchors it locally, while its staff in Sarasota, Florida extend its reach nationwide, so that clients get both local market knowledge and national coverage. King & Bishop argues that the right staffing partner saves time and produces stronger hiring outcomes, citing the Society for Human Resource Management on effective recruiting reducing turnover and improving performance. It notes that many clients have worked with it for decades, and that new clients often arrive when hiring has become overwhelming and stay because the solutions work. Employers and candidates can call the company on (781) 890-8824, and the site carries job listings, a resume submission route and job alert emails.
