9 Reasons Businesses Should Partner with a Staffing Agency

WHY STAFFING AGENCIES ARE YOUR HIRING HEROS

A staffing agency can be a game-changer for your hiring needs, whether you’re looking for temporary or permanent staff. Here’s why partnering with a staffing agency might be the best decision for your business:

1. Increased flexibility

A staffing agency can quickly provide you with additional resources, for example a temporary employee to cover vacations, medical leave, or increases in workload. Staffing agencies work with skilled workers and professionals who are open to short-term, project, or part time work. Experienced talent can come in and quickly adapt to the role at hand.

2. Increased productivity

Spreading extra work across existing staff or having employees work long hours can result in errors, fatigue, work-related injury, and lack of motivation – which means a loss of productivity. Staffing agencies can provide additional employees to restore and perhaps even boost productivity levels.

3. Access to wide network of candidates

When a company partners with a staffing agency, they access candidates they otherwise would not encounter through job search outlets like job boards or internal postings. Staffing agencies put companies in touch with the most talented people on the job market and keep a pool of experienced candidates who are ready for a career move at a moment’s notice. Candidates will have undergone a stringent recruitment process and the agency will have a solid understanding of what the person wants from their next job.

4. A streamlined hiring process

Agencies are specialists in the recruitment and hiring process, and they manage each step as efficiently as possible. Partnering with a staffing agency provides access to recruiting and hiring expertise that surpasses that of hiring managers and human resources departments. The employment specialists and recruiters on staff at agencies have expertise and experience concerning employment trends, challenges, market conditions, and best practices for recruiting and hiring top talent.

5. Quality employees and retention

Many staffing agencies offer guarantees or replacement options for their placements. This reduces the risk associated with new hires and helps ensure you get quality employees who meet your expectations. High turnover can be costly, so partnering with an agency helps you find talent that’s likely to stay long-term.

6. Objectivity and fresh views

Partnering with a staffing agency means working with an unbiased third party. The agency will be impartial throughout the recruiting and hiring process and provide the best possible candidate for a position because doing so is a reflection of the agency’s professionalism. In addition, some staffing agencies advise on human resources issues, employee engagement practices, and may offer recruitment coaching for non-HR managers.

7. Time saved in the hiring process

Hiring new employees is a long process. Partnering with an agency, you can skip the time-intensive steps of having to advertise job openings, sort through resumes, and interview candidates. The staffing agency has already narrowed down a group of qualified workers for you to choose from. They can source, phone-screen, and prepare candidates for a final interview with you – saving time and acquiring the best candidates in the most efficient way. Or you can simply agree to use the candidate the staffing agency recommends for the position.

8. Reduced costs

Because staffing agencies manage the entire employment process and do all of the legwork for you, partnering with an agency will relieve you of many costs of the recruiting and hiring processes. It will also reduce training costs, payroll processing costs, and benefits administration costs. Employees contracted through staffing agencies fall under the staffing agency’s unemployment and worker’s compensation claims. This can decrease overhead from injuries and employee turnover.

9. Trial period

Finally, many staffing firms offer a trial period so that the employee can work for a pre-determined amount of time before making a permanent offer. You’ll get to see for yourself the employee’s skills, their personality and professionalism, and how they fit in your corporate culture. You will have the benefit of making a more informed hiring decision without the commitment, reducing your risk of hiring someone you feel isn’t the best fit for your needs.

Partnering with a staffing agency brings numerous benefits to your organization, from flexibility and productivity to cost savings and quality hires. With staffing agencies hiring millions of temporary and contract workers annually, you have a wealth of vetted talent ready to contribute to your success.
