How a Staffing Agency Can Save Your Company Money

When is the best time of the year to take a close look at your organization and find a way to cut costs? EVERY time of the year. There’s never a season, winter or summer when you won’t benefit by looking for new efficiencies and new ways to get things done. And this winter, it’s a good idea to consider partnering with a staffing agency. Here’s how that partnership can help you streamline your business and do more with less.

Staffing agencies gather candidates from sources you may not have considered.

Professional staffers and recruiters have a wide network of contacts and years of experience building relationships in your industry and your local area. They know where to find top candidates and they can quickly generate a pool of resumes that might take a long time to gather on your own. They often have access to local college and trade school job placement offices, and they have the tools and experience to target the exact candidates you’re looking for.

Staffing agencies screen candidates so you don’t have to.

When we collect resumes and applications from potential candidates, we subject them to an initial review and then a phone screening, during which we ask practical questions that can eliminate the first round of applicants and save you hours of time and hassle. If you’re looking for candidates who live within a geographic area, we can easily screen those who fall outside of that region. We can also have a quick discussion with each one about your must-have qualifications, including abilities, salary caps, and availability.

Staffing agencies reduce costs by reducing risk.

Personality match and cultural fit contribute greatly to candidate success. Sometimes even the most qualified candidate just doesn’t get along with the team or isn’t happy in the role. But hiring is expensive, and a change of heart by either party within the first few weeks can really set you back. Staffing agencies remove some of this risk because, during the initial period, the candidate works for the agency, not for you. If you need a replacement or you need to start over, we can take care of that for you.

Staffing agencies lift the burden.

Because the candidate works for the agency, we take care of tax withholdings, insurance, and other hassles that you may not want on your plate. We also help with background checks, drug screenings and other issues that can free up your time and take the pressure off your budget.
