How can Recruitment Agencies Improve Your Business?

Author: Yoma Multinational

Recruitment agencies check references, screen resumes, shortlist candidates, schedule interviews, and place candidates who work on-site on behalf of the employer. The candidate is an employee of a staffing agency who works for the employer.

Staffing shortages are unavoidable, regardless of how well a company schedules its employees.

Employees require time off, overtime pay costs become prohibitively expensive, a short-term project necessitates additional personnel, an employer has no time to search for candidates, internal company resources are having difficulty filling a difficult position, and an employer wishes to try out a candidate before making a full-time commitment.

Using a General Staffing Company to hire employees allows a company to focus on its growth, take on additional short-term projects without adding to its long-term headcount, and downsize staff and overhead when the projects are completed.

Here are ten reasons why partnering with a recruitment agency is good for your business.

Cut your overhead costs - Permanent employees are more expensive than the salary they are paid. Permanent employees must pay for health insurance, retirement plans, sick days, vacation pay, and employer taxes, to name a few expenses. An employer does not pay any of that when using a temporary staffing agency; instead, they pay them for the work they have completed, with no additional overhead costs.

Eliminate overtime pay - An employer can use an engineering staffing agency to bring in temporary workers to help split up the workload during busy times, rather than putting additional demands on current permanent staff.

This prevents them from burning out full-time employees and incurring overtime costs for hourly employees, which is a significant benefit for General Staffing Company.

The requirement for temporary workers - Because permanent employees are sick, on maternity leave, have a family emergency or are taking a leave of absence, an employer may need a temp employee.

Hiring through a temporary staffing agency allows an employer to schedule someone for a specific period to deal with these situations.

Reduce hiring risks while saving money on training and time - Training new employees necessitate a significant time and financial investment. Spending money to train someone for a few months' worths of work makes no sense when looking for someone to cover a few months' worths of work. By utilizing a temporary staffing agency, the employer is provided with someone prepared to do the work required.

When a contractor's job is finished, the work is finished; there is no need to worry about severance pay, unemployment insurance, or finding a replacement. Not to mention that the parting of ways is streamlined and smooth, which is another benefit of using a staffing agency.

A staffing specialist saves time and increases return on investment - Employers looking for resumes may occasionally have projects that require a specialist or someone with specific expertise. It makes no sense to hire someone permanently for a temporary project that will only take a certain amount of time to complete.

A temp agency can connect an employer with a skilled staffing expert, saving them time by sifting through hundreds of resumes, checking references, and taking calls from candidates who may or may not be qualified. Technical staffing agencies help employers find temporary workers while saving them time and money so they can focus on other aspects of their business.

In charge of onboarding and payroll - The fact that the staffing agency handles the temporary employees' onboarding paperwork, payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and unemployment benefits is a significant benefit.

Gaining access to talent networks - A good staffing agency spends years building its talent network through referrals, networking, and daily contact with candidates. An employer typically lacks the resources to constantly engage talent.

The ability to quickly hire - An employer may have a departing employee and require an immediate replacement. Because of its extensive network of candidates, a temp staffing agency can frequently deliver qualified talent in less than 24 hours.

Understanding of the industry market - Another advantage of using a Temp Staffing Company is that an employer gains insider knowledge of skilled available candidates, both active and passive, salary ranges, and local market trends.

The ability to give an employee a trial period before making a full-time offer - It can be difficult to tell if an employee will be a good fit solely based on an interview. Starting an employee on a contract allows both the employee and the employer to see if everything is a good fit for both of them, and if it isn't, both parties can easily part ways.
