Staffing Agency on Resume

[trenttrenttrent]

I got my current position through a staffing agency, but I'm applying to schools right now. If I spent a few weeks working for them through the agency but will soon be made a full-time, regular employee, should I put the staffing agency and the company on my resume (since originally I am employed and paid by the agency, though I do my work at the company), or should I just put the company?

 

I was thinking that I could put the company on my resume and leave a note in my optional essay that I got the job and was technically employed by the staffing agency before being made a full-time employee. Does anyone have any thoughts on or experience with this?

I've work with a staffing agency before, I just put the name of the company I worked at on my resume as that's where I actually did the work.

I think you can put the company you work at on your CV and only bring it up in an interview etc. if they ask about it. For grad school applications, I don't think the distinction is very important.
