Staffing firms have been helping companies find extra workers for decades. Not every company out there takes advantage of the services offered by a staffing agency, but many more are beginning to do so. There are plenty of reasons for this and we will discuss those reasons in this post. The benefits far outweigh the negatives, of which we really cannot find many.

Find out why it’s wise to make Davis Staffing your recruitment partner.

Save Time and Money

Right off the bat, two benefits of working with a staffing agency are the ability to save time and money. It costs close to $58,000 to hire a new worker, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This number does not include benefits, 401(k) match, the cost to advertise an open job and cost of recruiting. When you use a staffing firm, the firm will help you save money on overhead costs.

Partnering with a staffing firm will also save you time. The average time it takes from a job interview to a hire is roughly 22-25 days. This number does not include posting a job ad, acquiring resumes, sifting through those resumes and then interviewing candidates. Staffing firms will remove some of these aspects for you, helping you save time.

Flexibility of Employees

Pairing with a staffing agency makes it easier for the company to be flexible when it comes to the scheduling of its employees. Temporary workers can be brought in for a job that can last one day, one week, one month, six months, one year or multiple years. You can bring in temporary employees when busy seasons hit, during the holidays, when employees take vacations or when you lose an employee to sick or maternity leave.

Quality of the Hire

When a company pairs with a staffing agency, it will always be provided high-quality hires. Staffing firms are tasked with weeding out the undesirables or inexperienced candidates for all available openings. This means that your company will experience a drop in turnover rate for employees when working with a staffing firm.

Increased Productivity

If you are worried about the workload of your employees and their stress levels, then it might be time to pair with a staffing agency. This will help you spread the workload evenly amongst employees by bringing in new workers. This can be done during the holiday season, when there is an influx of work, or when a major project comes across your desk that needs to be completed quickly using high quality work.

Find Full-Time Workers

Many companies pair with staffing agencies for the sole fact that they can test their temporary workers to see if they will be a good fit with the company on a full-time basis.

Pairing with a staffing agency is an excellent idea for companies of all sizes, because of the above reasons and many more. If your company has not paired with an Illinois staffing agency yet, it might be time to move in that direction to save time, money and drop the employee turnover rate.
