Employer Perspective: What to Expect When Working With a Staffing Firm

Posted by malacehr on May 1st, 2015

As an employer, you may find it valuable to hire a staffing agency to handle all your recruitment and new hire efforts. This has several benefits, not the least of which is that it takes a lot of the burden and hassle off your shoulders so you can concentrate on running your business. Here are some things you can expect when working with a staffing firm.

Specialized Focus

When you choose to work with a staffing firm to recruit temporary and permanent employees, you can be assured of a specialized focus in your industry. Many firms work within one field in order to provide the best services to both employers and candidates. Malace HR, for example, serves clients within the automotive, engineering, logistics and manufacturing fields only.

Perfect Match

It's easier to find the exact type of candidate that would be the best match for your company when you use a staffing agency. More than just a function of business, this experience affects both parties at a personal level because so much is involved. Your staffing firm will get to know each candidate as they display skills that match what you're looking for and as they progress through the interview process. Many factors are assessed in whether a candidate is a good fit for your company. It goes much deeper than technical expertise or experience. Personality, flexibility, location and quality of life all come into play.

The Numbers

If you're wondering whether or not to hire a staffing firm or recruitment company, take a look at the numbers. Staffing firms are gaining traction in this burgeoning economy. According to Forbes, businesses on a global basis spent more than ,300 per hire on recruiting, with a budget that has increased by six percent in the last year alone; translation: U.S. companies are shelling out billion each year on recruiting services, staff, and products, with the global total thought to be at least three times larger than that.

Benefits

The benefits of hiring a staffing firm are many. You can leave many tasks up to these professionals that previously took up too much of your time. A recruiter will place ads for jobs based on input from you, post those jobs, field all resumes and calls, screen candidates, and check references. They also:

Develop and foster candidate relationship management

Source candidates for key roles within a company

Conduct skills and personality assessments

Train candidates as needed

Conduct interviews -- sometimes several tiers of interviews for those who make it through

Manage applicant tracking systems

Support candidates throughout the process

Maintain a large network of candidates and employers

If you've been doing this kind of work in-house -- or worse, bypassing a lot of the screening and management processes because you're pressed for time -- you're doing your business a disservice by rushing it. Lean on a staffing agency such as Malace HR to handle the stress of candidates searches and interviews. You'll save time and money and gain peace of mind.
