3 benefits to working with a staffing agency
Finding the right people can be a challenge. Working with a local staffing agency can help connect qualified jobseekers with your business.
Your workforce is always changing; people take vacations, call in sick, leave unexpectedly, or business picks up and suddenly you’re shorthanded. If your business is struggling to find employees, it might be time to consider working with a staffing agency.
Here are 3 key benefits for employers.
1. Avoid the cost of bad hires
Many employers think they can’t afford the services of a staffing company, but what about a bad hire? According to the Society for Human Resource Management, the national average cost per full-time hire is nearly $4,700. Considering the lost productivity, many employers estimate the total cost to hire a new employee can be four times the position’s salary.

2. Speed up your hiring process
In recent years, the average time to hire has reached an all-time high with managers spending extended periods of time focused on finding qualified jobseekers. Working with a dedicated team of professionals allows your business to expedite hiring with access to a larger pool of qualified and prescreened candidates.

3. Expert guidance
Should you hire someone onto your team directly (direct hire), try out a candidate on a contractual basis with the option to hire them onto your team (temp-to-hire or contract-to-hire), or hire someone for a set amount of time (temporary hire or contract hire)? What are competitive pay rates? What skills should you be hiring for? There are so many different considerations. Having added support to walk you through these decisions can help tremendously. Partnering with a staffing firm gives you access to industry experts who have knowledge in recruiting and hiring.
