Our services
Contract/Contingent Staffing
Best for: Temporary, Contract, Seasonal, and Temp-to-hire work
Contingent staffing gets you the right person, in the right role. We handle the sourcing, screening, onboarding, and workforce management. And once a candidate is placed, we manage the back end like onboarding, payroll, and invoicing. All this so your team can stay focused on the work that matters.
Direct Hire
Best for: Specialized or mid-to-senior level roles where culture fit and long-term retention matter
We find high-caliber professionals who fit the role and the culture, not just the job description. Through an extensive network and targeted sourcing, we surface candidates your internal search wouldn’t reach.
Payroll & Employer of Record
Best for: Project-based payroll, adding workers without the infrastructure, or being compliant across multiple states
As your Employer of Record, we assume full legal responsibility for your workforce including payroll, tax filings, workers’ compensation, wage and hour compliance, and employment law obligations. Every record is precise, transparent, and audit-ready. Plus it scales with your headcount, built for stable operations and seasonal swings alike.

What our partners say about us
Frequently asked questions
The passion behind the placement
Would you walk away from a laid-back corporate job at one of the top firms in your industry? That’s exactly what our CEO, Jan Sonneman, did. After 30 years at one of the top staffing firms, she realized something was missing — she wasn’t representing the people she truly wanted to help. Big firms were focused on helping other big firms, while smaller companies were left as an afterthought.
That’s when SlingShot Connections was born. From the idea that staffing should be about building real relationships and empowering businesses with the same high-level expertise usually reserved for large corporations. It’s in our DNA to deliver staffing solutions that are personal, flexible, and designed to help growing businesses thrive.
