It’s a common misconception that staffing firms only supply low-level candidates who fill temporary roles in times of an emergency vacancy. The reality is just the opposite. Staffing firms work with accomplished talent who have versatile skill sets, often supply candidates who grow into full-time employees, and support the strategic staffing initiatives of the county’s top companies. If your recruiting is costing too much, taking too long, and producing unimpressive applicants, partnering with a staffing firm is likely the solution. Here’s why:

• Access the Entire Candidate Pool – Staffing firms work with both active and passive candidates (professionals currently employed). Since more professionals are included in this group, your candidate pool is both larger and more dynamic.
• Enhance the Vetting Process – Since staffing firms recruit on a limited basis they can dedicate more time and resources to vetting candidates. The candidates they deliver to you tend to be of a higher caliber overall.
• Connect with Top Talent – Top professionals have learned that working with a staffing agency is a great way to find more career opportunities and move up the ladder faster. That means the candidate rosters these firms have built have a lot of impressive talent among the ranks.
• Speed Up the Recruiting Process – When you need a qualified candidate fast, the resources of a staffing firm directly support your interests. They can dip into established candidate pools strategically and find you the professional you need in a fraction of the time.
• Find Talent to Meet Real Needs – Staffing firms succeed by understanding the real needs of client companies and hiring managers, and the real abilities of the candidates they source. That makes these firms uniquely capable of delivering employees who can make an immediate impact.
• Shrink Your Candidate Pool – For the most part, staffing firms get paid when they make a placement, not when they produce a flurry of candidates. That creates a powerful incentive for them to locate a limited number of highly qualified candidates. You have the luxury of selecting the best of the best.
• Lure Away Passive Candidates – It stands to reason that professionals who are gainfully employed will have more to offer than professionals scrambling for a job. Unfortunately, recruiting this talent is a time – and labor-intensive process that requires a lot of finesse. Most corporate recruiters simply don’t have the necessary resources, but staffing firms do.
