Addressing The Bottom Line <\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with one of the most compelling reasons to partner with an outsourced recruiting firm. It is the significant cost savings that can be realized when you align with the right partner. How? When you eliminate unnecessary and time consuming processes and simultaneously free up your internal resources to pursue more impactful business functions, it also frees your team up to save time and money- arguably two of the most important aspects of business. Partnering with a recruitment firm will help your business continue to do what it does best, while the firm does what they do best- find top talent for your team. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u00a0worry about the talent that the recruitment firm will provide. You want an employee that not only can perform the position to\u00a0their\u00a0best\u00a0abilities but\u00a0will also align with your culture and team. Most employers desire candidates who will be long term\u00a0fits\u00a0for open positions.\u00a0When you work with an agency, it\u2019s the recruiter\u2019s\u00a0job\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to find and vet candidates that match your open role and\u00a0your work culture.\u00a0If there are additional\u00a0aspects\u00a0that are important to your culture, such as diversity recruitment or\u00a0showcasing your benefits, our recruiters have the network and\u00a0expertise to find talent to match.\u00a0<\/span>It’s no wonder businesses of all sizes are struggling to find talent.\u00a0The U.S.\u00a0recorded there were\u00a09 .3 million job openings\u00a0in April, this being the highest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics has started tracking that statistic in 2000. Now is the time to partner with a staffing agency or recruitment firm to find the talent your business needs to thrive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t feel as if you are\u00a0alone: nearly\u00a0<\/span>42% of business owners say they have job openings\u00a0that\u00a0they cannot\u00a0fill\u00a0<\/span><\/b>according to the\u00a0National Federation of Independent Business<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Working with an agency can provide an employer with the chance to evaluate the candidate over a longer\u00a0period of time\u00a0without committing to a permanent offer. Additionally, hiring temporary staff can also alleviate some of the urgency that may be associated with filling an opening in your permanent staff \u2013 having a short-term employee in place during your recruitment process ensures you take your time finding the right hire.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We often tote that working with a recruitment agency can give candidates access to employers and jobs that they may not otherwise find on their own, alternatively, working with an agency to hire\u00a0an employee\u00a0can give you access to amazing folks who may not have considered or seen your role otherwise. Additionally, recruiters work all day to find top talent, so you don\u2019t have to. You can trust the recruiting team to source the very best candidates on your behalf.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Temporary\/Interim Talent Spotlight\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to the American Staffing Association, there are more than 3 million temporary and contract workers work for staffing companies in America during an average week and 17 million during a typical year. That\u2019s a large number! With this knowledge, you may be wondering if adding interim staffing to your team or company may be the right move. One of the greatest benefits of using a staffing agency is you have access to well-equipped talent who are available for temporary roles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps your business has departments whose workloads fluctuate depending on your needs. Working with an agency for interim staff can help you find qualified and available team members to help amplify your departments and your work! And, when the project is over, your temporary employees will be done\u00a0too, until you need a new team to help with the next project.<\/span> In other instances, if you are a small company, you likely don\u2019t have a dedicated HR department or even a hiring manager in charge of\u00a0all of\u00a0your recruiting, interviewing, and hiring. Or, if you do, likely you may have only one person responsible for\u00a0all of\u00a0the hiring responsibilities. Should that person go on vacation or sick leave, or should they become busy with other operational tasks or key projects, hiring needs can get ignored or delayed. This can create a poor candidate experience, reflecting negatively on the company and resulting in qualified candidates looking elsewhere.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other times, we often see managers or company owners who\u00a0are in charge of\u00a0recruiting, interviewing, and hiring on their own. If they are spending valuable time to working on the hiring and recruitment process, that means that they are not spending that time to work on other tasks that make money and grow the business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>When working with a staffing agency to secure temporary talent, you\u2019ll learn that generally the agency will provide benefits for the employee (as they are technically an employee of the agency, not your business) such as 401k, health, PTO and more. This makes temporary work as enticing as other\u00a0type\u00a0of work. Additionally,\u00a0<\/span>when your workforce is more controlled through utilizing temporary staffing, you\u00a0have the opportunity to\u00a0only work with employees for the length of time you need them<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom line? The benefits of using a staffing agency are endless. Hiring a staffing agency to handle the hiring needs eliminates all of these potential scenarios and can help employers and managers focus on the business, while the staffing agency focuses on the recruiting. Plus, once you form a relationship with an agency, it will become easier and quicker to find new staff members for your team. The agency will be intimately involved in your work culture and hiring process, and thus will be able to quickly and efficiently find candidate matches for your team!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
