The number one question HR professionals ask is, “Why should we use a staffing firm?”  This article by the American Staffing Association’s Intelligence Report expertly highlights the benefits of using a staffing firm to fill your hiring needs:

• For routine needs, staffing firms can deliver workers for daily, seasonal or cyclical assignments in a timely manner. Not only can staffing firms help HR professionals fill positions with qualified candidates fast, HR professionals don’t have to worry about the cumbersome process of setting up payroll and benefits for new workers
• With access to a wide range of workers, staffing firms can quickly fill short-term projects or find temporary replacements for employees who are sick or on vacation and can quickly find individuals with specific skill sets or hard-to-find work experience
• Matches can be made on a temporary-to-hire or temporary-to-permanent basis, allowing companies and workers to have the opportunity to evaluate each other without obligation for either party before a permanent contract. The traditional hiring process does not provide for such flexibility and can result in poor hiring decisions that are costly and difficult for a company to undo
