Managed vs Agency · fact-098
Is the F5 relationship transactional like an agency's?
No. F5 Hiring Solutions engagements are full-time, dedicated, and long-term, with ongoing management. Traditional staffing agency relationships are transactional — they end once the placement is made and the fee is paid.
