Staffing agencies have seen an unprecedented boost in popularity as a result of current economic stagnation. They offer pre-screened, pre-qualified staff with no long-term commitment required; and, that is exactly what employers need. There is absolutely no shortage of qualified workers; and, you don't need to spend time and money sifting through resumes to find them. Employers are typically delighted to hand on the recruitment process to another agency. They are literally swamped with resumes. Enough time and money it takes to undergo them and the resulting interviews can seriously disrupt other critical duties. More help have already been popular during economic downturns since the first one was started in 1946. Now, they're even more popular since they offer more forms of workers than ever. Not only administrative staff and general labor can be found, but specialists are as well. Qualified professionals like medical and legal staff are available on short notice. With this economic future unsure, making a commitment to additional staff could be daunting. With an agency, staff could be induced as temporary, temp-to-perm, long and short-term contract, or as direct hire. That could be a large relief. Workers can be evaluated on the job while economic stability is waited out. There are a variety of services available to painlessly grow business minus the risk associated hiring a normal employee. Staffing agencies are the experts. Based on the Houston Chronicle, “Employees of staffing agencies generally have a higher level of expertise linked to job knowledge, employment trends and recruitment practices by virtue of continuous keeping employees.” This expertise is frequently unmatched within HR departments and it is useful in specialized fields. Staffing agencies can manage the complete employment process, freeing up both financial and recruiting. In the past, it had been only larger corporations that turned to staffing agencies for help. There was a preconceived notion that smaller businesses cannot afford temporary staff rates. It is simply not true. Rather than taking a chance on hiring full-time employees, a small business can greatly benefit from temporary staff. You can't contend with a skeleton staff; and, you don't have to. Plus, you can avoid the costs connected with pre-employment testing, criminal background checks, and drug screening. Atlanta Medical Recruiter Gail Abelman of Staffing Perfection says, “The companies we staff save thousands every year through the elimination of many recruitment fees from their budget.” Because the economy gets stronger, my prediction is that staffing agencies will continue to thrive. They will have stepped around the plate in times of need and exceeded expectations. They will have carved out a niche that goes far beyond their historic role. It really is no longer just about getting a secretary to complete throughout a regular employee's vacation or short leave. They provide a practical service that practically every business can reap the benefits of. Staffing agencies are popular because they're an immediate solution and a forward strategy. Employers can test the waters in a period and cost-effective manner, before fully committing to a larger staff. In the meantime, it's business as usual.
