The Agency Worx

What The Agency Worx does

The Agency Worx, operating publicly as JBC Staffing and Recruiting Agency (legal name JBC Team), is a global recruiting and staffing firm that functions as the consumer search practice of WorkGenius Group following its acquisition of JBC Holdings. The company delivers temporary, freelance, and contract-to-hire staffing, payroll and human capital management, workforce management solutions (MSP, VMS, and RPO), and market intelligence, talent mapping, and outplacement services across 15 disciplines and 11 industries including fashion, beauty, technology, consumer/CPG, media, and healthcare.

The company's underlying technology layer is the WorkGenius platform, an AI-powered end-to-end interface for freelance hiring and management that JBC leverages to power its contingent workforce operations. The platform is owned by parent company WorkGenius Group and provides the technical backbone for the agency's MSP/VMS/RPO programs and direct-serve freelance management. JBC also operates sub-brands including JBCStyle (fashion recruiting) and JBCShop (e-commerce content via Tumblr).

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (placement fees and markups on contracted workforce), managed services (MSP/VMS/RPO management fees, payroll service fees), and consulting engagements. The company employs a consultative, enterprise-focused sales motion targeting Fortune 500 and global brands, with quote-based pricing customized to client needs and direct engagement with hiring managers rather than self-serve distribution for enterprise contracts. Its client base includes over 100 named enterprise brands such as Adobe, Apple, Amazon, LVMH, Gucci, Disney, Coca-Cola, Estée Lauder, and Universal Music Group.
