Our contract staffing clients experience a 16% involuntary turnover rate compared to the 41% industry average. And 79% of our direct hire placements are still with their employers after five years. When you partner with a recruiting firm that effectively balances fit with urgency, you get more than a placement. You get a lasting relationship.
Real Method
Staffing and recruiting with staying power.
The Milliner REAL Method brings structure and clarity to every hire. It’s a straightforward approach to recruitment and staffing built on honest insights, a foundation of trust and long-term partnership.
Relationships
Foundation of Trust
We start by building genuine relationships with our clients and candidates, taking time to understand your unique culture, goals and challenges.
Evaluation
Beyond the Resume
We go beyond the resume with thorough evaluation of both hard skills and soft skills, ensuring candidates don't just meet the job requirements but fit the team.
Alignment
Setting Up Success
Our focus on alignment means we match talent with opportunities where they'll thrive, not just fill a seat.
Longevity
Sustained Partnership
And our commitment to long-lasting relationships sets us apart from volume-driven national staffing firms. We stay connected long after placement with ongoing check-ins and support.
What sets us apart?
We take the goals of our candidates and employers personally.
Job Seekers
- We spend time with our candidates so we understand experience, strengths, and career goals.
- Because we know you, we’re able to advocate for you, providing clients with insights that may not be apparent on a resume.
- To help you put your best foot forward, we provide resume tips, interview prep, and even guidance for a successful first day of work.
Employers
- We get to know your business, needs and culture, not just the bullet point responsibilities of an open position.
- Our process isn’t built on volume; it’s built on sustainable outcomes.
- By balancing urgency with intention, we focus on finding the right fit — so your next hire supports today’s needs and tomorrow’s growth.
What is the Milliner REAL Method?
The REAL Method is our proprietary approach to staffing and recruiting. It stands for Relationships (building genuine connections with clients and candidates), Evaluation (going beyond the resume to assess skills and fit), Alignment (matching talent with opportunities where they’ll thrive) and Longevity (providing ongoing support to ensure lasting success). This method is why our placements stay longer than the industry average.
How is Milliner different from large national staffing firms?
As a relationship-based firm, we prioritize quality over quantity. We don’t “spray and pray” by sending stacks of unvetted resumes. Instead, we take time to understand your culture and present only candidates who truly fit. Our 16% involuntary turnover rate compared to the 41% industry average demonstrates that our relationship-focused approach delivers better long-term results than volume-driven national competitors.
What does “recruitment with staying power” mean?
It means we measure success by how long placements last, not just how quickly we fill positions. Seventy-nine percent of our direct hire placements are still with their employers after five years. We achieve this by investing time upfront to ensure alignment between candidates and companies, then following up at 30, 60 and 90 days to address any concerns before they become problems.
Why should I use a staffing firm instead of hiring internally?
Recruiting takes significant time and attention that many HR teams just don’t have bandwidth for, especially when filling specialized roles or managing high-volume hiring. A staffing partner like Milliner brings to the hiring table an established process, candidate network, screening expertise and market knowledge. We handle sourcing, vetting and initial interviews so you can focus on final selection and meeting the day-to-day needs of your business.
The right job is waiting for you.
