Here’s how we do it:
Connecting you with top talent others can't reach
While job boards like Indeed only show you active job seekers, we find hidden talent — those not actively looking but ready for the right opportunity.
Extensive screening
We conduct a Total Fit Assessment to ensure the candidate is a perfect fit for your company.
Confidence backed by our quality guarantee
Every agreement includes a flexible guarantee, ensuring we’ll find the right candidate, even if it takes a replacement.
Risk-free hiring
Pay only after you’ve chosen your perfect candidate. No upfront costs, and a guarantee in case the candidate isn’t the right fit.

We place in:
Accounting & Finance
Office, Clerical & Administrative
Hospitality
Human Resources
Warehouse & Logistics
Call Center & Customer Service
Manufacturing & Production
Higher Education
Creative & Marketing
What our clients 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. I didn’t think she could find someone with the skills we needed but 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, the importance of offering recommendations, and more importantly, our needs as a company and 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. I wanted to work with someone I trust. 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 with an available pool to expand, thanks to their diligence and recruitment efforts.
SlingShot Connections understands executive search concepts and enhanced our senior level management talent pool. They identified unique skill sets in qualified candidates for our executive team. And 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
Although staffing firms charge a fee for finding candidates, you’ll save money in the long run by reducing internal hiring costs.
We empower your HR team
We don’t replace your HR team, we collaborate with them to streamline and enhance your hiring process.
We grow with your business
We adapt to your business needs — whether you 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, with high fees and one-size-fits-all solutions that didn’t work for smaller businesses.
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.
