6 Reasons You Shouldn't Use a Staffing Agency
City Personnel recently partnered with SHRM Rhode Island to host an engaging and educational webinar titled “6 Reasons You Shouldn’t Use a Staffing Agency.” The session, led by Dawn Apajee, Founder and President of City Personnel, and David Hopkins, CSP, Recruiting Specialist, brought together HR professionals, hiring managers, and business leaders from across the state for an in-depth discussion on effective hiring strategies.
The interactive program explored when internal hiring is the best approach and when partnering with a staffing agency can deliver greater results. Attendees learned how to identify six common scenarios where internal recruitment makes sense, along with key benefits that staffing partnerships offer — including scalability, cost savings, and reduced hiring risk.
Dawn and David also shared a practical framework to help organizations evaluate and select the right staffing partner for their needs, providing insight into how trusted recruitment partnerships can streamline hiring, strengthen workforce planning, and reduce costly mis-hires.
As a long-standing advocate for professional development and ethical hiring practices, City Personnel is proud to collaborate with organizations like SHRM Rhode Island to share expertise and support HR leaders across the state.
This webinar is part of City Personnel’s ongoing commitment to helping Rhode Island businesses hire smarter, faster, and more effectively — empowering organizations to build strong, sustainable teams that drive long-term success.
