Hire Strategies Profile


Hire Strategies has been named one of the top employment agencies by Expertise.com. The research outlet evaluated more than 100 employment agencies in the area on over 25 criteria to determine the best companies. Reputation, credibility, experience, and professionalism are among the indicators that Expertise.com used to rank the firms. This distinction further solidifies Hire Strategies’ standing as a reliable source for high-quality talent placement.

“This is a great honor and we appreciate the recognition, but in a greater sense, it means we are focusing on our organizational purpose of being a trusted partner for our clients,” said Sonya Hopson, CEO of Hire Strategies. “This helps our customers address their staffing needs and allows our employees the opportunity to provide for their families and contribute to our growing region.”

This is the second time Hire Strategies has been named to the list, earning the distinction in 2017 as well. It punctuates the tremendous growth the company has experienced since Sonya founded the agency in 2013 after spending years as a successful recruiter at other firms. In 2018, Hire Strategies completed the acquisition of Five Star Staffing, a long-standing local firm. This strategic move adds administrative recruiting to its portfolio, expanding its consistent placements in construction and manufacturing. One reason many clients trust Hopson’s team is they are a member of the network of qualified professionals with an on-site safety manager. Additionally, Hire Strategies is an authorized trainer of Occupational Safety and Health Administration. “Sourcing talent through an agency like ours doesn’t just fill a position quickly, it’s a mutually beneficial investment for both the candidate and employer,” said Hopson. “We offer companies the chance to see somebody work before committing long-term. Instead of spending time and money on candidate profiling and job board posting, we act as a matchmaker for our clients, screening candidates to find the best person that has the right skillset and fits the company culture.”

In the community, Hire Strategies sponsors non-profit organizations like the Raleigh Rescue Missionwhile participating in job fairs and outreach events to ensure they’re always building relationships with the robust talent in the region.

What should people look for when choosing an employment agency?

Employees should look for a company whose values match their own. They will want to find a an agency that specializes in the fields that they are looking to be placed in.
