Many times, small and medium-sized business use staffing agencies because they have more resources for recruiting. Staffing companies usually already have large databases of potential candidates, giving their clients access to a pool of top talent that they might not otherwise be able to reach.
You can choose to spend thousands of dollars advertising your job opening, or you could use a staffing agency and not have to work about advertising at all. Your cost savings will also be realized by not having to pay employee benefits, not having to invest in training, and having access to a larger pool of potential candidates.
Another benefit of working with a staffing agency is that they handle all of the HR-related tasks for you. This includes things like payroll, taxes, and worker’s compensation. This means that you don’t have to worry about any of those issues, and you can focus on running your business.
As a small business owner, you can use the agency’s employees as much or as little as you need and have the flexibility to discontinue them once your work is complete. During slower times of the year, you can downsize without going through painful layoffs. During busy times, you will have access to great workers who can fill a vacancy in a matter of days. Temps can also be a great way to test out prospective employees before making a commitment to hire them full-time.
