What our partners 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 has been open for 7 months. After working with your firm for 5 weeks and going through the interview process- we found the one!  

HR Director

Local Agriculture Company

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.  

Senior Executive

Upscale Bay Area Retail Chain

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.  

HR Manager

Hospitality Industry

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.  

Operations Manager

Packaging & Logistics Company

It's difficult to find engineering candidates for niche roles, but SlingShot does it well. Even after 3 years, we still have great talent on our team thanks to their diligence and recruitment efforts.

Take control of your staffing

Book a free, no obligation call with one of our expert staffers. We’ll walk you through our tailored process and show you exactly how we can help you find the right talent.

    Why use a staffing firm?

    Bad hires can cost upwards of $20,000 — do it right the first time

    Paying to use a staffing firm can 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.
