Recruiting and staffing is a different animal in HubSpot. You’re not just “generating leads” — you’re running two pipelines at once (candidates and clients), managing fast-moving relationship data, and often stitching HubSpot into an ATS (Bullhorn, Avionté, JobAdder, Vincere, etc.). The best HubSpot partners for this niche understand:
- Dual-sided journeys: candidate acquisition + client/job-order acquisition
- Speed and hygiene: high volume, quick turnaround, consistent data
- Recruiter workflows: activity capture, sequences, pipeline stages that mirror reality
- Integrations: ATS ↔ HubSpot sync, attribution, reporting, dedupe rules
At No Bounds Digital, we’re a HubSpot agency — but we’re not typically the best option for staffing/recruiting compared to specialist partners who live in this world every day. If you’re a recruiting or staffing firm and want the best “industry-native” shot at success, start with this list.
Note on tiers: I’m only modestly using HubSpot partner tiers here. Tiers can correlate with delivery scale and experience, but the more important filter is recruiting/staffing expertise.
Elite
Six & Flow
If you want a HubSpot partner that explicitly builds for recruitment and staffing motions, Six & Flow is a top pick. They publish recruitment-specific HubSpot guidance and position HubSpot as the system that aligns business development with candidate relationships — which is exactly where many staffing CRMs fall apart.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Their recruitment-focused HubSpot approach tends to emphasize structure: lifecycle stages, candidate/client segmentation, automation for speed-to-submit, and reporting that can be trusted (without turning your portal into a tangled mess).
Best for:
- Recruitment firms that want HubSpot as the “front office” for BD + marketing (and possibly recruiter workflow support)
- Teams that need RevOps + CRM architecture, not just marketing execution
- Firms moving from spreadsheets, legacy CRMs, or a loosely-configured HubSpot portal
Where to learn more: Six & Flow: HubSpot for Recruitment and their HubSpot for Recruitment Guide.
On The Fuze (OTF)
OTF is an Elite partner with serious volume and repeatable delivery — a good match if you want a “high horsepower” HubSpot admin and optimization team. While they’re not branded as staffing-exclusive, their scale and HubSpot operational depth can matter a lot in recruiting environments where you need rigorous process, strong governance, and ongoing iteration.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Staffing firms often need ongoing HubSpot administration: pipeline refinement, workflows, permissions, reporting, and user training — not just a one-time onboarding. OTF’s posture in the HubSpot ecosystem leans heavily into “make HubSpot actually work” day-to-day.
Best for:
- Firms that already have HubSpot and need it cleaned up, governed, and optimized
- Teams that want fast, structured improvements (routing, automation, reporting, deal stages)
- Leaders who want a reliable long-term partner for HubSpot operations
Where to learn more: OTF in the HubSpot Solutions Directory and On The Fuze website.
Diamond
Square 2
Square 2 is a long-standing HubSpot partner known for driving revenue outcomes. They’re not marketed as a staffing-only agency, but they’re strong when you need a partner that can connect marketing, sales, and ops into a coherent revenue system — which recruiting firms often lack (especially on the BD side).
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Staffing firms often struggle with “random acts of marketing” and disconnected sales effort. A partner like Square 2 can be valuable if you want a structured growth system with clear reporting, consistent pipeline definitions, and a strategy that’s actually operationalized in HubSpot.
Best for:
- Staffing firms that want to professionalize BD and marketing into a predictable engine
- Teams that need stronger attribution, lifecycle tracking, and conversion optimization
- Organizations ready for a more strategic engagement (not just a quick build)
Where to learn more: Square 2 in the HubSpot Solutions Directory.
Orange Pegs
Orange Pegs stands out because they explicitly speak to staffing agencies and offer growth marketing services tailored to that market. If your primary pain is demand generation — more client leads, more candidate flow, better conversion — they’re a strong contender.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Their staffing-focused approach tends to lean into the practical levers: SEO for recruiting niches, paid campaigns, conversion rate optimization, content strategy, and HubSpot automation to move leads/candidates through the funnel faster.
Best for:
- Staffing agencies that want growth marketing + HubSpot execution under one roof
- Firms trying to improve candidate attraction and client lead generation simultaneously
- Teams that want experimentation (testing offers, landing pages, nurture sequences)
Where to learn more: Orange Pegs: Services for Staffing Agencies and Orange Pegs in the HubSpot Solutions Directory.
LeadG2
LeadG2 is a Diamond partner that is transparent in the HubSpot directory about serving the recruiting/staffing industry. They’re a good option when you want a partner who can handle onboarding, CRM implementation, and revenue enablement — with enough scale to support ongoing growth.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Recruiting firms often need help translating “how we actually work” into clean HubSpot objects, properties, pipelines, and reporting. LeadG2’s positioning leans into onboarding + enablement, which matters when you’re trying to get adoption from recruiters and BD reps.
Best for:
- HubSpot onboarding and portal design with staffing workflows in mind
- Sales enablement and reporting improvements (visibility into what’s working)
- Teams that want training and adoption support (not just configuration)
Where to learn more: LeadG2 in the HubSpot Solutions Directory.
BizzyWeb
BizzyWeb is a Diamond partner with strong HubSpot web, inbound, and migration capabilities. They’re not positioned as staffing-exclusive, but they’re a practical choice if your staffing firm’s biggest bottleneck is your website experience, conversion flow, and HubSpot foundation (especially CMS work, forms, and lead capture).
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Staffing sites frequently need specialized conversion paths (job seekers vs. employers), better application capture, and frictionless handoffs into HubSpot. A partner like BizzyWeb can be valuable when your growth strategy is sound but execution and infrastructure are lagging.
Best for:
- Website rebuilds/migrations to HubSpot CMS with performance and conversion in mind
- Inbound marketing systems that feed BD while also supporting candidate acquisition
- Firms that need a stable HubSpot partner for ongoing web + marketing ops
Where to learn more: BizzyWeb in the HubSpot Solutions Directory and BizzyWeb website.
Staffing Growth Engine (Integrate IQ)
If your world revolves around an ATS (especially Avionté) and you need HubSpot to become a true BD engine without creating duplicate chaos, Staffing Growth Engine is one of the most staffing-relevant options on this list. They emphasize connecting HubSpot to staffing platforms to bridge sales and recruiting operations.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: The hardest part in staffing isn’t “setting up HubSpot.” It’s building an ecosystem where recruiters and BD teams can work fast while leadership can still trust reporting. ATS ↔ HubSpot integration, data governance, and automation design are where specialist providers shine.
Best for:
- Avionté + HubSpot integration and workflow automation
- Reducing manual entry and improving data reliability across teams
- Firms serious about reporting (source-to-placement visibility, pipeline health)
Where to learn more: HubSpot + Avionté Integration and an example HubSpot–Avionté staffing case study.
Platinum
SalesLeap
SalesLeap is a Platinum partner that leans heavily into outbound and sales development systems in HubSpot. They’re not staffing-specific in branding, but they’re relevant because many staffing firms win on proactive BD: targeted account lists, sequences, follow-up discipline, and measurable SDR activity.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: If your staffing firm’s growth plan is “more job orders from specific industries/regions” and your BD motion is inconsistent, a partner like SalesLeap can help operationalize outbound inside HubSpot — without reinventing your entire stack.
Best for:
- Building or tightening outbound BD in HubSpot (sequences, playbooks, reporting)
- SDR/team enablement and repeatable sales process implementation
- Firms that already have candidate flow but need stronger client acquisition
Where to learn more: SalesLeap HubSpot implementation and SalesLeap in the HubSpot Solutions Directory.
Other Specialist Agencies
Newbury Partners
Newbury Partners is one of the clearest “staffing-native” choices here. They explicitly position themselves around technology advisory services tailored specifically for the staffing industry, and they speak directly to optimizing HubSpot for staffing workflows.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: When you want someone who understands staffing operations and can translate that into HubSpot architecture (automation, reporting, lifecycle definitions), Newbury is a strong bet. Their framing is less “generic marketing” and more “run staffing better with the right systems.”
Best for:
- Staffing-specific HubSpot implementation, reporting, and workflow optimization
- Aligning client retention motions, marketing ROI, and staffing operations in one system
- Leadership teams that want a partner who speaks staffing language fluently

Marmalade Marketing
Marmalade Marketing is compelling if your lens is recruitment marketing. In their HubSpot directory profile, they explicitly note experience operating as part of in-house functions for global recruitment businesses — which is a strong signal that they understand the reality of marketing inside recruiting organizations.
Why they fit staffing/recruiting: Recruitment marketing is its own category: job-seeker messaging, candidate nurture, employer branding, and content that serves both candidates and hiring managers. Marmalade has published recruitment-oriented HubSpot content and positions themselves as a HubSpot solutions partner supporting recruitment marketers.
Best for:
- Recruitment agencies that want marketing strategy + HubSpot execution (with sector context)
- Employer brand and content engines that drive candidate flow
- Teams that need modern marketing ops without losing the human voice recruiting requires

What to Ask Any Agency Before You Sign
To keep this practical, here are the questions that quickly expose whether an agency truly understands recruiting/staffing in HubSpot:
- How do you model candidate vs. client data? (Objects, properties, lifecycle stages, segmentation)
- What does your ATS integration strategy look like? (sync direction, dedupe rules, field mapping, governance)
- How do you drive adoption with recruiters? (workflow design, minimal clicks, training, guardrails)
Final Note (From No Bounds Digital)
If you’re a staffing or recruiting firm, you can absolutely win with HubSpot — but the right partner matters. The agencies above are strong bets because they either (1) directly focus on recruiting/staffing or (2) deliver the specific operational strengths staffing firms usually need: integration, governance, speed, and pipeline clarity.
