About
The match was already there.
Staffing just couldn't see it.
Recruiters hold unworked jobs and available candidates inside their own systems. MLSA is the private network where members can share them, choose a partner, and keep the fee.
- You choose what to list
- You choose who you work with
- Terms are set before a candidate is submitted
- You keep 100% of the fee you earn

Now
MLSA
The multiple listing network for staffing. Members share jobs and candidates, choose their partners, and keep the fee.
Our mission
Help the placement move.Leave the relationship where it is.
A job and a candidate should be able to find each other across agencies, on terms the members set, with the fee staying between them.
A private network where staffing professionals cooperate, and still own the work.
The goal
To create infrastructure that allows agencies to collaborate and grow together.
The idea
Shifting the way the entire industry operates — from competition to cooperation.
One professional has the opportunity.Another has the person who fits it.
The multiple listing idea is familiar from real estate. The network helps those two people find each other. MLSA applies that idea to staffing.
MLSA is part of Career Management Group, alongside Consulting Direct. It is not a public job board. Employers and job seekers do not get a login. The relationship stays with the recruiters who already own it.
Values
How the network behaves.
Integrity Above Everything
Fee terms are accepted before a candidate is submitted, and the relationship stays with the members who brought it.
Collaboration Over Competition
Members share jobs and candidates with each other, and each side still chooses whether to work together.
Transparency Builds Trust
The split is agreed in writing before the submittal, and the activity log shows who did the work.
Community is Our Edge
The network is for staffing professionals. A member represents the employer or the job seeker.
Progress, Not Politics
The placement can move across agencies. MLSA takes no cut of the fee.
