Scion Staffing

What Scion Staffing does

Scion Staffing, Inc. is a privately held, Oregon-incorporated staffing and executive search firm founded in 2006, operating nationwide across all 50 US states with 251-500 employees. The company is structured around seven specialized vertical divisions: Corporate Staffing, Corporate Executive Search (Scion Retained Search), Nonprofit Staffing, Nonprofit Executive Search, IT & Engineering Recruiting (Scion Technical), Creative Recruiting, Medical Recruiting, and Legal Recruiting. Its core offering spans temporary staffing, direct-hire contingency recruiting, retained executive search, interim executive placement, board of director search, remote staffing, and Employer of Record (EOR) payrolling services. The firm serves Fortune 500 corporations, mid-size businesses, startups, nonprofit organizations, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and law firms.

The firm monetizes through professional services fees, with contingency-based direct-hire placements (typically a percentage of annual salary), hourly or project-based billing for temporary and contract staffing, retained fees for executive search engagements, and managed-service fees for EOR payrolling. Distribution occurs via regionally located offices, a centralized phone/web intake channel (888-487-8850), and dedicated account managers for enterprise clients. The technology stack consists of standard modern applicant tracking systems and a 10-step executive search methodology rather than proprietary platforms; the firm claims access to a candidate pool exceeding 14-16 million across public networks and a private vetted executive network. The firm has been recognized by Forbes (Best Executive Recruiting Firms), Inc. 5000 (Fastest Growing Private Companies), and ClearlyRated (Best of Staffing Client and Talent Satisfaction awards, 2021-2026), and cites a 98% retention rate for placed senior management executives across more than 1,000 national searches. The company is founder-led (Isaac S., Founder & CEO) with no disclosed parent company, PE/VC ownership, or institutional funding.
