Hiring new workers can put various strains on your business. It can take time away from your employees who have duties beyond hiring, it can be risky, it can be costly, and more. If you are looking to hire qualified workers who will fit in with your company culture but you don’t want to risk other complications associated with hiring new employees, staffing agencies can help. Staffing agencies can offer recruiting and hiring services that streamline the hiring process and deliver highly capable workers without taking up your valuable company time. Learn the major benefits of hiring through staffing agencies.
Flexible Staffing
Your company may be hesitant to hire new staff for several reasons. Perhaps you have lots of work right now but will eventually hit a slow season and you don’t want to be overstaffed. Or perhaps you are worried about the potential expenses incurred with a failed hire. Whatever the concern may be, staffing agencies can provide the solution. Staffing agencies help you lower the chances of failed hires by selecting candidates who are qualified and who align with your company values. Staffing agencies also offer more than one type of staffing solution. If you are in a busy season that will slow down later, hire through temp staffing. These qualified workers are only seeking temporary contracts and can end their employment when your company no longer needs the extra workers.
Reduced Risk
When you hire through staffing agencies, you are reducing your hiring risks by several factors. First of all, the candidates who make it through the rigorous screening process are more likely to not only perform well but also to fit into your company culture. Staffing agencies take the time to assess both your company and the candidates to ensure they are compatible. Second of all, when you hire through staffing agencies, you have the freedom to hire workers on temporary contracts instead of committing to a permanent hire. And third of all, staffing agencies take on certain legal obligations that lower risks for your company. By acting as a type of employer of record, staffing agencies assume a level of responsibility for the candidate who gets hired.
Fast Hiring Process
Not every business is able to have a hiring manager. Some companies have HR staff that conduct hiring but this is not their main role and hiring is time-consuming while also not a task this employee is very familiar with. Staffing agencies have a staff dedicated to the screening and rejecting or accepting of candidates. Because dedicated workers at the staffing agencies have lots of experience sifting through resumes, cover letters, skill testing, and more, they can quickly get qualified applicants in the system and available for your company to hire for a streamlined hiring process. This creates a selection pool of pre screened and qualified candidates for your company. When your company partners with staffing agencies, the interview and hiring process are streamlined because the staffing agencies handle all vetting and other time-consuming paperwork. This means you, the hiring company, can focus on an effective interview strategy knowing the candidate is already positioned to be quickly onboarded after a successful interview.
