Client Benefits

Attract and retain the best

The best creative professionals have options. Benefits influence which roles they accept and whether they see an engagement through, which means your staffing partner's benefits package directly impacts the caliber of talent you can attract and your ability to retain them.

Most staffing agencies offer the minimum when it comes to talent benefits. But we've always prioritized benefits as an investment in the talent we place. Our benefits package is designed to attract elite professionals and keep them productive and performing at their best throughout their engagement.

Setting the standard for talent care

Our freelance employee benefits package is unmatched in the industry, offering a level of support and security that simply can't be found elsewhere. This dedication has made Aquent the employer of choice for top creative professionals, and it's one of the many reasons we've won Best of Staffing in client and talent satisfaction for over a decade running.

Where we go above and beyond

Comprehensive health plans

A healthy, thriving workforce is more productive and engaged, so we prioritize employee wellness with high-quality, employer-subsidized health coverage and mental health benefits—even for part-time and short-term roles.

Financial well-being

Supporting financial well-being leads to job satisfaction and retention. That's why we offer a robust retirement plan and employer matching that's vested from day one, so our talent can reach their financial goals.

Guaranteed sick leave

We offer paid sick leave to all hourly talent in the U.S. and Canada, even where it's not required. Talent can take the time they need to take care of themselves or their loved ones and come back ready to work.

Pre-tax savings options

Out-of-pocket costs really add up, adding stress on employees and their families. We help our talent manage these costs with flexible spending accounts (FSAs) for health care, dependent care, and transportation.

In their words…

Don't change those benefits

“Aquent is hands down just the best agency I have ever worked with… And the healthcare and FSA benefits really seal the deal. Don't change those benefits, it makes me want to only go thru Aquent…”
John L., UX Designer

Advantageous in so many ways

“Aquent makes contract work advantageous in so many ways. I enjoy excellent benefits (better than those I received previously working for a $200MM company), and I feel that Aquent values me.”
Shymala H., Writer

The best in the business

“Aquent has been the best talent agency I've worked with these past three years. I am keenly aware of other companies – but the benefits and staff support are the best in the business.”
Frederick O., Art Director
