Should Your Company Use A Staffing Agency?

Every company needs to add staff at one point or another. Many companies feel that this is an internal function that should be handled by their HR Department since they know the job requirements, the company’s culture and needs.

WRONG! This is your first mistake and we encourage you to read on to find out why!

HR Priorities
Your HR Department is swamped with dealing with current employees. They may not be able to do the proper legwork to find the correct person that fits the culture of your company let alone the skill sets required for the vacancy.

Using a staffing agency allows your HR Department to focus on current employees and ensure that their needs are met.

The Perks Of Using A Staffing Agency
Today, more and more companies are turning to external staffing agencies to assist them with their search for qualified candidates. Read on to find out the benefits of outsourcing this task:

• The main focus of a staffing agency is to find your company the right candidate. The staffing agency will do all the work – sourcing, screening and interviewing best-fit candidates – and present you with their top talent.
• Staffing agencies typically cover a variety of different specialties – so their net is cast wide and can bring in the most qualified candidates that fit with the position and your company’s culture.
• Many job seekers prefer working with staffing agencies as opposed to applying directly to an employer’s job posting. By using a staffing agency, the job seeker increases their chances of finding a position that meets their needs and qualifications. Resulting in a happy new hire AND employer.
• Hiring decisions are strategically more important than ever in today’s competitive market. The costs and time associated with hiring an employee, that is the best fit for the position and your company’s culture, can be daunting. Using a staffing agency allows your HR Department to focus on existing employees and key internal HR related initiatives.
• You don’t pay a fee until your chosen candidate accepts your offer and begins working.
