Many of the best things in life are left to chance, but staffing isn’t one of them. If luck landed you a superstar employee a time or two in the past, consider yourself extremely fortunate, because this doesn’t happen often. When it’s time to find your next outstanding employee, team up with a staffing agency to find the caliber of employee your team needs to thrive.
4 Reasons to Partner with a Staffing Firm
Gain Access to Passive Talent
Sometimes the best person for the job isn’t actively searching for new opportunities. If your only way to source candidates is posting open positions on job boards, you’ll never have the opportunity to connect with these people. Staffing firms have carefully cultivated candidate selection pools filled with gainfully employed top talent willing to consider a career move — but only for the right opportunity. This is the only way to gain access to these people, so partnering with the professionals puts you at a huge advantage over your competitors.
Fill Open Positions Faster
When you’re short-staffed, your bottom line suffers. According to a 2015 survey conducted by Indeed.com, approximately 44% of jobs in the U.S. are filled within 30 days. Those that take longer than one month to fill have a 57% chance of remaining vacant for at least three months. Your company can’t afford this kind of business disruption, but when you work with a recruiter, it’s a non-issue. Staffing firms use their candidate selection pools to fill positions quickly — sometimes even the same day!

Enjoy No-Risk Hiring
As a hiring manger, there’s nothing worse than extending a job offer to a candidate and quickly realizing it was the wrong move. When you partner with a staffing firm, they carry the risk instead of you. If you’re not satisfied with a placement during the agreed upon trial period, most will find a replacement for you free of charge.
Save Time and Money
The hiring process is incredibly time-consuming and can easily take over your entire day, week or even month. When this happens, the rest of your work suffers, because there’s only so many hours in the day. If you take on a staffing partner, you save time and money because your recruiter will handle the entire process, so you can stay focused on your actual job. Instead of incurring the many expenses — both hidden and upfront — associated with hiring, you’ll pay one flat rate when your superstar employee is delivered.
