Redsun vs Staffing Future for staffing agencies
Staffing Future designs custom WordPress sites for staffing firms and sells lead generation and client submission tools beside them. Redsun is a published price and a site that is built to be named in AI answers.
Staffing Future is a staffing and recruiting website company based in Costa Mesa, California, with a London office. Its in-house team designs each site in Figma and builds it in WordPress without templates, then hosts and maintains it, and it sells LeadHub for lead generation and Subs Hub for client submissions alongside. It publishes no prices. Redsun is a recruitment marketing platform at a published £299 or £599 a month ($399 or $799 in the US) with no build fee. It writes the site from your sectors and CRM data and builds Answer Engine Optimisation into every page, so AI engines can cite your agency.
The short answer
Staffing Future grew out of a technology consultancy. It says it has designed more than 200 staffing and recruiting websites, has over 400 clients across 40 countries, and names Kelly Services among them. Every site is custom: designed by its own team in Figma, built in WordPress, then hosted, backed up and updated by Staffing Future with unlimited support.
Around the website it sells products for the rest of the staffing workflow. LeadHub gates talent profiles and runs email campaigns to turn visitors into leads, Subs Hub gives clients a portal for reviewing submitted candidates, and the site itself carries AI job matching and one-click apply. It integrates with over 20 ATS systems.
Redsun starts from a different place. The first draft is written from your sectors, locations and Atlas, Crelate, Ezekia, Firefish, Invenias, itris, JobAdder, JobDiva, Loxo, Manatal, Recruit CRM, Recruiterflow, SourceWhale, Spott and Top Echelon records in about ten minutes, on curated recruitment themes, and you build the whole site before paying. After launch the platform works on being found, through Answer Engine Optimisation on every page, and on capture, through candidate and employer Conversion Wells and visitor intelligence that writes back to your CRM.

A custom build, or a site written for you
Staffing Future's designers draw every site in Figma and its developers build it in WordPress, and it does not publish how long that takes. That suits a firm with a brand team, a brief and a launch date some months out. Redsun starts from curated recruitment themes and writes the first draft from your sectors, locations and CRM records in about ten minutes. You edit it in the builder and see the whole site before you pay, so the first conversation is about the pages rather than the scope.
Products beyond the website
Staffing Future sells two products around the site. LeadHub gates talent profiles and runs email campaigns to turn visitors into leads, and Subs Hub gives clients a protected portal to view their jobs and the candidates submitted to them, with logins created from inside the ATS. If client submissions are where your desk loses time, that is a good reason to look at it. Redsun's work after launch goes on getting found and capturing the enquiry: Conversion Wells give candidates and employers something useful for their details, and visitor intelligence names the companies reading your roles.
Getting named when a buyer asks an AI
Staffing Future's published SEO work covers schema markup and job syndication to Google for Jobs, and its site says nothing about AI search. Redsun builds every page to be cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity: question-led headings, FAQ and Article schema, and an /llms.txt file. On Grow a scorecard grades each published page for its odds of being cited and lists the fixes. In our audit of 391 UK and US agencies, 7% were built to be cited this way.
Which ATS you run
Staffing Future integrates with over 20 ATS systems, including several of the large US staffing platforms. Redsun connects to Atlas, Crelate, Ezekia, Firefish, Invenias, itris, JobAdder, JobDiva, Loxo, Manatal, Recruit CRM, Recruiterflow, SourceWhale, Spott and Top Echelon. If your ATS is on their list and not ours, Staffing Future is the practical choice. If it is on ours, roles and consultants become site content on every sync, and enquiries, well submissions and intent scores are written back into the records your recruiters already open.
The verdict
Choose Staffing Future if you want a custom WordPress site designed by an in-house team, hosting and updates handled for you, a client submission portal beside it, or an ATS that only Staffing Future supports.
Choose Redsun if you want a published price, a site written from your own CRM data, and your agency named when a buyer asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a recruiter.
