Running a company with fewer employees than you need can be frustrating and exhausting for everyone in your office. Your team is forced to take on additional tasks and this may cause them to burn out and quit. If that happens, it leaves you with even fewer workers and a bigger problem. But hiring replacement employees to overcome a workforce shortage can be difficult, costly, and time consuming. If this sounds like the situation you’re in, consider working with a staffing agency to alleviate the pressures of hiring and to get the right person added to your team as quickly as possible. Here are some of the benefits of doing so:
Save time and money.
Putting exact figures aside, a staffing firm can save you a great deal of time and resources. They manage the entire hiring process, which leaves employees at your company more time to focus on more productive tasks. Recruiting firms also have robust networks of qualified job seekers; this means they are able to source talent much faster than if you had to wait for applicants to find you. Think of how much you could get done without having to worry about recruiting, screening, interviewing, and hiring.
Work with specialized experts.
Your human resource department is a great asset to your company, but often they have limited manpower or knowledge base in a particular area, making it difficult for them to hire for specialized positions. Working with a staffing firm gives you access to experts with deeper knowledge about particular fields that may puzzle your HR department.
Candidates come to you.
Staffing agencies already have a pool of candidates at their disposal. Not only do staffing firms have potential employees, but they usually have a good idea of how the candidates will do at your company, thanks to the nature of temporary and short-term work. Many candidates have found employment through the staffing firm before. Past performance is one of the best indicators of future success, so having access to this knowledge is invaluable.
