Why do companies need staffing services?

Many executives and business leaders already know the answer to that, but some companies that used to be just fine without temporary staffing service support might be asking why they need to move to a new model. Here are three of the most common reasons that companies benefit quite a lot by building a relationship with a third-party staffing firm.

A Job-Ready, Wide Field of Candidates

When companies without these kinds of partnerships need to go hire new people, they’re often working from “zero business intelligence.” In other words, they don’t have a pre-built registry of potential candidates, and information about qualifications and more. It takes time to build this, and interview people.

However, most staffing companies already have a detailed set of records about local job seekers who are ready to go to work. That means they can assist companies in ‘agile hiring’ — doing the same hiring process in a very short amount of time, to get people into a facility much quicker, and eliminate those harmful gaps in full staffing and productivity.

Orientation

When we ask workers about what they need the most in a new job, one word often comes up: orientation. People need to know what to expect, where to go, what to use, and how to prepare for new jobs. But companies sometimes skimp on that, since they are behind the eight ball and they just don’t seem to have the time to pre-train and educate those who are coming into their facilities for the first time.

Professional staffing services often have their own orientation materials that they give temporary workers. They know a company inside-out, and they can tell new people what to do to prepare, and what to expect in a new work environment. They can set people up for success, while taking the pressure off of a client’s busy HR office. And that assistance often turns out to be really valuable to a client firm over time.

Turnover

Many companies are simply helpless when it comes to handling turnover. They see a lot of people leaving, but they don’t know why. They may try to conduct exit interviews, which can eat up a lot of human resources time, and doesn’t always return useful results.

Staffing companies can talk directly to temporary employees leaving a job. They can do part of that fact-finding to determine what’s wrong, and whether a little bit of diplomacy or communications could keep someone in a job role for a longer time. They can help to smooth the process, and lower turnover for business, where it’s important to have people actively involved in job roles for productivity and growth.
