Your Charleston staffing agency alternative

Charleston, South Carolina, is known for its hospitality industry, but it’s home to many other types of successful companies, too. Charleston’s aerospace, automotive, defense, technology, life sciences, healthcare, and logistics industries make for a promising and varied local economy. With so many successful industries in Charleston, the area is full of promising career opportunities, as well as jobs to fill. 

While there are countless talented professionals in the North Charleston and Lowcountry areas, sometimes you need to reach outside that local talent to find the professional who’s right for your Charleston-based business. The best remote staffing solution can make outsourcing fast and simple. 

Traditional recruitment agencies can be expensive and slow. That’s not ideal when you’re working under a tight deadline or don’t need a full-time hire. That’s why we created Upwork’s Talent Scout, a remote staffing agency alternative. With Talent Scout, you can quickly fill your job opportunities and staffing gaps, all while using a single, convenient platform. 

If you worked with a recruitment agency for marketing, you would have to start all over with a different employment agency for your software development needs. Talent Scout has a broad base of qualified candidates ready to work in engineering, design, marketing, sales, IT, and more, making it easy to find the right talent for your open positions. 

Talent Scout recruiters are familiar with these key skill sets, so they understand what you’re looking for in a top candidate. Machine learning powers our recruiter tools, streamlining the hiring process. Your recruiter can quickly hand pick candidates who have the experience and skills for your job and your unique needs. 

What types of talent can I find on Talent Scout?

Charleston is home to organizations like the Medical University of South Carolina, Roper St. Francis Healthcare, and Sherman Financial Group, meaning professionals have access to many employment opportunities.

With Talent Scout, these businesses and more have access to a global talent pool for nearly any role. Our recruiters help you find talent skilled in many in-demand fields: 

  • Social media marketers, content marketers, public relations professionals, brand managers
  • Graphic designers, photographers, product designers, website designers, UI and UX designers
  • IT managers, database engineers, systems analysts, computer programmers

Use Talent Scout to find a freelancer

With Talent Scout, you’ll have access to top talent, and you can quickly complete the hiring process. Talent Scout can save you time and money on your remote staffing needs. There’s no back-and-forth communication like you might experience with other workforce solutions, so whether you need to build an engineering team or find a marketing consultant, you can quickly find a professional who is the right match for your business. 

A traditional staffing company often requires you to sign long-term contracts, or to hire job seekers for full-time hours. Unlike these traditional staffing services, Talent Scout is much more flexible. Our contracts last from four weeks to six months or more, and you can choose from part-time and full-time hours. There’s also no pressure to hire a freelancer at the end of the contract, so Talent Scout is a great fit for startups, nonprofits, and established businesses, too. 

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Talent Scout and a Charleston staffing agency?

Working with traditional staffing solutions can be a slow process, but working with Talent Scout is much faster. With traditional employment agencies, the hiring process can take as much as 30 days. Talent Scout recruiters work quickly, so you can start the interview process and hire within just days. 

Talent Scout’s database of freelancers is much more diverse than the talent you’ll find at many staffing firms. For example, a recruitment agency for software development can only connect you to professionals with a very specific skill set. If you have multiple staffing needs, such as marketing professionals, sales experts, and IT specialists, Talent Scout can help.
