WHY USE A STAFFING AGENCY

HR professionals, and others who make organizational staffing decisions, benefit from the flexibility that staffing firms provide. This flexibility manifests itself in many ways.

For routine needs, staffing firms can deliver workers for daily, seasonal, or cyclical assignments in a timely manner. This approach to staffing is inherently more efficient than the traditional approach-advertising a position, wading through stacks of résumés, running background checks (if necessary), and then having to wait two weeks or more for new hires to start.

Not only can staffing firms help HR professionals fill positions with qualified candidates fast, HR professionals don't have to worry about the cumbersome process of setting up payroll and benefits for new workers, and assignments can be terminated at any time.

In fact, without the services of staffing firms, it would be nearly impossible for many organizations to staff up for short-term projects or find temporary replacements for employees who are sick or on vacation. The red tape alone would make it extremely difficult, and access to a ready pool of workers would be a continual challenge.
