Built for businesses like yours
As a small to mid-sized business ourselves, we understand the fast pace and high stakes environment where every hire matters.
Specialized roles need specialized recruiters
Our recruiters know the ins and outs of your niche roles and will bring candidates who actually fit. From Finance Managers, to NPI Engineers, and more.
Exclusive access to candidates
Indeed and LinkedIn are just one part of the picture. Through exclusive partnerships with schools, job organizations, and passive talent networks, we uncover candidates others miss.
Risk-free hiring
Pay only after you’ve chosen your perfect candidate. No upfront costs, and a free replacement period in case the candidate isn’t the right fit.
What other businesses say about us
Thank you for connecting me with Anne. You weren’t kidding when you said she could help me fill this Finance executive role that’s been open for 7 months. After working with your firm for 5 weeks and going through the interview process- we found the one!
At first, we were hesitant to use a search firm for hiring a Director of Loss Prevention. But after working with you, it’s clear you understand the urgency of communication, our needs as a company, and more importantly, the nuances of hiring in this field.
I used your contingent services at a previous company so when I struggled at my new company, I knew I could call on you for my Direct Hire needs. Again, you didn’t disappoint, I love my Food & Beverage Manager – THANK YOU! My job is not only easier, but I found a partner that will help me take the hotel to the next level.
We were struggling to find people for the HR Business Partner role. Each person we interviewed through Indeed just seemed to lack the skill set we were looking for. Then we met Anne and the rest is history. Natalie is a gem and our HR Director couldn’t be happier!
SlingShot Connections consistently provides me with qualified candidates that understand my company culture. Even after 3 years, we still have great talent on our team, thanks to their diligence and recruitment efforts.
SlingShot Connections understands executive search concepts and enhanced our senior level management talent pool. Because of them, we interviewed many candidates who were a great match. Our only challenge was the tough selection process, with so many high caliber candidates presented to us!
Just want to send a note of thanks! Our Operations Manager is extremely satisfied with the Product Engineer you placed. I know our interview process was a long one so we very much appreciate your patience and knowledge to guide us through the candidate selection. We love Emmanuel!

Why use a staffing firm?
Bad hires can cost upwards of $20,000 — do it right the first time
The hiring fee might feel like a drawback, but it pays off by reducing the time, cost, and risk tied to internal hiring.
We empower your HR team
Contrary to popular belief, we don’t replace your HR team. Instead, we partner closely with them to make the process smoother from start to finish.
We grow with your business
Need a quick replacement? Or staff for an entire new department? We’ll scale our efforts to match your needs.
Most companies see higher retention rates
Candidates hired through agencies tend to stay longer due to a more rigorous screening process. And with our guarantee, you can feel confident they’re the right fit before making a full commitment.
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.
