5 Reasons Businesses Use Staffing Agencies

How A Staffing Agency Can Benefit Your Business

1. Fulfill Staffing Needs
   Staffing agencies are most well known for their ability to find qualified and reliable staff for companies. These new employees can either be direct-hire permanent members of the team, or they can be temp-to-hire contract employees. Temp-to-hire contract employees will work with the company for the project or time frame they were hired for and then the company can decide if they want to keep the contract employee as a permanent hire or if they no longer need additional staff. Temp-to-hire strategies give companies the ability to scale their staff as they need and to give candidates a trial before making them permanent team members.
2. Market Knowledge
   When your company works with a staffing agency, you gain access to the already established network of qualified candidates as well as the staffing company employees who work with people from all different industries. This widens your applicant pool so that you can find the best employees from your industry while giving your company easy access and understanding of other industries if you want to expand your operations.
3. Reduces Back-End Tasks
   When you hire through a staffing agency, the candidates are already prescreened and a candidate will be matched with your company by staffing professionals. This saves your company from advertising, frees up HR from going through resumes and cover letters, and eases the onboarding process. Back-office tasks can also be covered by staffing agencies as well. With employer of record (EOR) services, your various back-office obligations can be outsourced to allow your company more resources to focus on the larger picture without being weighed down with busywork.
4. Expansion
   Staffing agencies are ideal for companies that are interested in expansion. Not only can staffing agencies help you hire quality employees when you are rapidly growing, but EOR services can also help your business quickly become established in other countries. EORs can help businesses expand by acting as an employer for foreign employees instead of waiting for your business to be approved as a foreign entity abroad.
5. Risk Reduction
   When you hire new staff members, you take a risk that they will be failed hires that will cost your company time and money. With a staffing agency, this risk is mitigated. All candidates face a variety of rigorous screening processes to ensure they are qualified for the position, fit your company culture, and fill in skill gaps within your organization. When using EOR services, staffing agencies also reduce risk, as the EOR works as a legal employer for foreign staff so that if for any reason there are legal complications with an out-of-country employee, the responsibility falls to the staffing agency instead of on your company.
