Most businesses have difficulty finding or retaining quality staff members, but a staffing agency just may provide the insight youve been missing. It is estimated that more than 2.5 million people work through staffing agencies every day and almost 10 million contracted or temporary workers end up being hired at the company they worked at through the staffing agency.

Most staffing agencies offer several options, like short or long term temporary work, contingent to hire, which could lead to a permanent position, direct hire, and professional search, which involves finding talents that are hard to find and connecting them with key positions. As an employer, why might you consider utilizing a staffing agency? There are several reasons, and here are just a few of them.

• Staffing agencies can be more cost-effective than trying to do it yourself. Hiring the wrong person can be a very expensive mistake; by using a staffing agency, you hand the process over to professionals who have the time to go through resumes and examine each job candidate carefully before making a selection. Staffing agencies are able to focus entirely on your job hire freeing you to focus on running your business effectively.


• They save you time as well. Most staffing agencies look over hundreds of resumes each month, and they have the time to interview and run background checks on each candidate. By hiring a staffing agency, you dont have to disrupt your normal business activities because youve outsourced the search. The agency will present you with only the best candidates; thus saving you from interviewing several unsuitable candidates.


• Staffing agencies also offer you flexibility in hiring options. For example, you may need a temporary worker to help out while a key staff member goes on maternity leave or sabbatical for several months. You also may want the opportunity to try a few workers out before you hire anyone full time. A staffing agency makes it possible for you to do this. You can even respond to fluctuations in workload effectively by adding temporary workers during busy times of the year and return to a smaller staff during slower times. A staffing agency is the best way to make adjustments to your staff frequently without the worry and difficulties of being consistently overstaffed.


• Business relationships are important as well when it comes to utilizing staffing agencies. Sometimes you need an important staff member to fill a difficult position; by working with a staffing agency on a regular basis, it allows them to learn your needs. They will easily become able to find someone with special talents ensuring that you arent forced to operate without that key position filled.

Staffing agencies are all about connecting employees with employers in an efficient, cost-effective way in which everyone wins.
