Benefits of Working With a Staffing Agency

When you need to bring on new employees, how prepared are you to deal with the recruiting process? Chances are, hiring is something you don't do on a daily basis, so when that time comes, you'll have to set time aside to recruit, interview, and onboard a new employee. That time investment is why many businesses choose to outsource the hiring process, working with a staffing agency to help fill either temporary or permanent positions. But there are many other benefits to working with a staffing agency.

Save Time

 You have plenty of things to do if you want to grow your business. Browsing hundreds of resumes to pull out a few good candidates is time-consuming. A staffing agency takes over that process, delivering only the most qualified people to your doorstep. In addition to handling recruiting, a staffing agency will also pre-interview your candidates, asking questions that will help find workers who meet your specifications.

Source Specialized Expertise

Chances are, you aren't an expert in the skills necessary to fill every position in your organization. A staffing agency specializes in spotting those skills, in some cases even having years of experience in working with candidates in very niche areas. If you need a plant supervisor or fabrication production worker, for instance, you'll possibly find a staffing agency is better able to place job ads and match candidates to your needs than you would be.

Scale to Fit Your Needs

As valuable as staffing agencies are for long-term hires, they're even more beneficial for providing temporary workers. Retailers and service providers often find they need to increase staffing on a seasonal basis but tracking down workers who are willing to work without a commitment can be a challenge. A staffing agency can provide these temporary workers fairly steady work with a variety of employers. Best of all, you'll likely get skilled professionals who are practiced at learning job duties quickly.

Create a Hiring Resource

One of the best things about working with a staffing agency is that you can offer feedback on how your hires are working out. If they send someone who turns out to be the perfect fit for your team, you can communicate what worked well and ensure you get similarly well-suited candidates in the future. When a candidate doesn't work out, the agency can note that, as well, and use the information as it finds potential employees for you moving forward.
