- Do employers really find staffing agencies through AI?
- Yes. A hiring manager with an urgent opening wants a shortlist, not a research project — which is exactly what conversational AI provides. They ask “who's the best staffing agency for light industrial in Columbus?” and get two or three names with reasons. The agencies in that answer get the call and often the job order; everyone else competes for whatever's left after the first firm responds.
- Does this cover the candidate side too?
- It does, and it matters more than most owners expect. Candidates ask engines “what are the best recruiting agencies to work with?” and “is <your firm> legit?” before returning a recruiter's call. Your candidate-side reputation — Google reviews, Glassdoor, Indeed — feeds those answers, and thin candidate pipelines eventually cost you client placements. Tibly tracks employer and candidate questions side by side.
- What sources make AI recommend a staffing firm?
- In our tracking, the recurring citations are Google review volume and text, Clutch and UpCity profiles, ClearlyRated Best of Staffing recognition, Glassdoor and Indeed presence, SIA industry lists, and agency sites with specific role and industry pages. Tibly shows the exact citations behind every answer in your market, so you strengthen the surfaces engines actually read instead of guessing.
- We compete in several metros and verticals. Can Tibly handle that?
- Yes — that's the normal setup for staffing. You track separate question sets per metro and per vertical: light industrial in one city, travel nursing in three states, IT contract roles nationally. Each combination gets its own daily answers and its own competitor scoreboard, because the firm beating you in Dallas warehouse staffing is rarely the one beating you in Phoenix healthcare.
- What does it cost to start?
- The first report is free: we run your market's employer and candidate questions across the major AI engines and show who's being recommended today — including whether your firm appears at all. Daily tracking starts at $49/month with no contracts. Set against the fee from a single placement, most owners consider the decision straightforward once they've seen the free report.
