When it comes to hiring, Indianapolis employers aren’t just looking for warm bodies to fill chairs. They’re looking for real, skilled, honest humans who understand the work and the workplace culture.
And if you’re choosing between a local staffing agency and a national one, let us save you some time, money, and a few HR headaches: local wins every time.
At That’s Good HR, we’ve been on the ground in Indy for over two decades, helping employers find not just “someone” but the right someone. We know the city, we know the industries, and we know what it takes to help you cross that hiring finish line first.
Why Local Staffing Agencies Trump National Staffing Agencies. Every Time.
Choosing a local staffing agency over a national staffing agency means partnering with people who understand your hiring challenges because they’re living them too.
Here’s why choosing a local staffing agency (like That’s Good HR 😉) is the smart, strategic, and sanity-saving move:
Local Means Personal
We’re not about transactional placements.
We actually know our Indy clients. Like, “we’ve-seen-your-office-floorplan-and-met-your-office-dog” levels of personal.
That deep familiarity means we can anticipate what you’ll need before that new role even opens up.
At That’s Good HR, we helped one of the largest aging and in-home solutions providers in the region staff over 40 positions, and fast. How? We already understood their mission, their culture, and exactly the kind of people who thrive there when they came to us for help.
National firms? They’d still be scheduling their kickoff call.

We Match People. Not Resumes.
National firms love their algorithms, but at That’s Good HR, we know hiring isn’t a math equation. It’s a “people” decision.
When you work with a local staffing agency, you get recruiters who understand more than just skills on paper. We dig into personality, team dynamics, and that hard-to-define “fit” factor that makes someone thrive at your company.
We know who’s likely to stick around, and that kind of matchmaking magic doesn’t come from a national database. It comes from knowing the people and the businesses in a community.
We Speak Indy Fluently.
There’s no substitute for boots-on-the-ground market knowledge.
Seasonal hiring spikes? We see them coming. Administrative talent trends? We’re tracking them in real time.
We specialize in HR, Admin, Customer Service, and Accounting roles, which are the backbone of many Indy businesses, and we understand how those needs show up differently here than in, say, Seattle or Sarasota.
A national staffing firm won’t have that context. We live it.
Been burned by a national staffing agency? Here’s why you should make That’s Good HR your local go-to:
Are you over the endless phone tag, impersonal processes, and recruiters who know but don’t “get” your industry? What makes That’s Good HR different is that we actually live here, hire here, and get what local businesses need to succeed.
Here’s why working with us isn’t just easier. It’s smarter:
Why Our Local Talent Pool Works Harder for You
With a vetted network of over 2,500+ professionals right here in Indianapolis, we’re not scrambling to fill roles. We’re dialing up candidates we already know and trust, which gives our clients a serious edge.
Unlike national staffing agencies that rely on generic databases and AI filters, That’s Good HR is out in the community, showing up at job fairs, connecting with candidates face-to-face, and having the conversations that reveal who’s a strong cultural fit.
Resumes are important (trust us), but they don’t tell you who’s going to mesh with your team, show up on time, or thrive in your work environment.
That’s the kind of insight you only get from local staffing agencies who are well-connected in the city they serve–and that’s us.
We’re Fast, Flexible, and Fun (Yes, Really)
Speed matters, especially when you’re juggling backfills, last-minute turnovers, or sudden spikes in demand.
At That’s Good HR, we don’t just move fast…we move smart.
Our team is local, agile, and always in sync, which means we can pivot quickly, respond immediately, and get qualified candidates in front of you before national staffing agencies even hit “post.”
And let’s talk about communication: No automated bots, no emails lost in a black hole.
With That’s Good HR, you get real people who actually answer the phone and genuinely want to help. We’ve built a team that’s nimble, resourceful, and (dare we say) a good time to work with.
It’s what sets us apart from the world of national staffing agencies, and why so many Indy employers trust us to get the job done without the headache.
We’re In It for the Long Haul, Not A Quick Sale
At a national staffing firm, recruiters come and go, along with any real understanding of your business.
You might find yourself re-explaining your company culture every few months (fun, right? 😅)
At That’s Good HR, we do things differently. Our team sticks around, and so do our relationships. We take the time to truly get to know your business: your goals, your growth plans, your non-negotiables.
And then? We stay in the loop long after the paperwork is signed. Because staffing isn’t a one-and-done transaction. It’s about building a sustainable team, and that takes time, consistency, and a partner who actually cares.
That’s what sets a local vs. national staffing firm apart, and why our clients keep coming back.
Let’s Cross the Hiring Finish Line–Together
Choosing the right staffing partner isn’t just about filling a role, it’s about building a team that lasts. And if you’re tired of the generic, slow, and impersonal approach of national staffing agencies, it might be time to go local.
Here’s a sneak peek at what working with That’s Good HR looks like:
Step One: You Tell Us What You Need
You talk, we listen.
Whether you’re looking for temporary help, a long-term hire, or a contract hire, we’ll get crystal clear on your goals, your team dynamics, and the kind of person who’ll thrive in your environment.
Step Two: That’s Good HR Does the Heavy Lifting
We source, screen, interview, and handpick top candidates from our local network—people we’ve met, vetted, and trust.
We’ll provide you with a shortlist of real contenders, not a pile of maybes.
Step Three: It’s Time to Hire with Confidence
We’ll help you set up interviews, gather feedback, and fine-tune your decision. And we won’t leave you hanging after the placement either.
We stay in touch to make sure the fit is still fitting, and when you’re ready to hire again, we’re already one step ahead.
