The Core Difference

24 Seven is a staffing agency that added technology. WorkGenius is a technology platform with staffing expertise built in.

24 Seven's Model

24 Seven operates like a traditional staffing agency — they have recruiters in 18+ offices who use AI tools to help find candidates. When you work with them, you're essentially paying for the overhead of their physical presence: office space, regional managers, and the traditional agency markup.

Their focus is primarily on creative, marketing, and retail industries. If you need tech talent, fintech specialists, or engineers — you're working outside their core expertise.

WorkGenius's Model

WorkGenius was built as a technology platform from day one. Our AI doesn't just assist recruiters — it powers the entire matching process, analyzing 500K+ freelancer profiles in seconds to surface perfect-fit candidates.

But we didn't stop at AI. We acquired four established staffing agencies (JBC, Agency WorX, Expertlead, Futurepath) to bring world-class recruiting expertise in-house. Our human recruiters verify every match the AI surfaces — combining speed with judgment.

And unlike a staffing agency, WorkGenius is a complete freelancer management system. You don't just find talent — you onboard them, manage timesheets, handle compliance, and process payments all in one platform.

Common Questions

Is WorkGenius more expensive than 24 Seven?

WorkGenius is typically more cost-effective overall. Traditional staffing agencies add markup to each placement. WorkGenius charges a platform fee that includes matching, management, and payments — often resulting in lower total cost, especially at scale. Plus, there's no placement fee when you source from your own talent network.

Can WorkGenius help with creative and marketing roles?

Yes. When we acquired JBC and Agency WorX, we brought in recruiters with deep expertise in creative, marketing, retail, and fashion industries. Combined with our AI matching, we can source talent across all industries — not just creative, but also tech, finance, automotive, engineering, and more.

What if I'm already working with 24 Seven?

Many companies use WorkGenius alongside existing staffing relationships. You can start by using WorkGenius for specific roles or departments, then expand as you see results. Our team can help you design a transition plan that works for your organization.

How fast can I get started?

You can start receiving candidate matches within 48 hours of submitting your first requirement. Platform onboarding typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on your compliance requirements and whether you're importing your own talent database.
