29 Oct FIVE REASONS YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD USE A STAFFING AGENCY
Thinking of working with a staffing agency? Don’t get bogged down by the myths; research the facts and learn how making this choice can be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. With this in mind, it’s time to debunk the five most common myths about using a staffing agency.
MYTH #1: You can only use a temp employment agency to find temporary workers.
REALITY: This not the case for every staffing agency. The majority of staffing services can do so much more, like helping you find full time employees, part time employees, and even temp to hire workers. Integrated Staffing has placed over 70 candidates this year with a combination of temporary, temporary to hire and permanent positions.
MYTH #2: Hiring through a staffing agency means you’ll pay more.
REALITY: Yes, when employers use a staffing agency to find job candidates, they are expected to pay a fee for that service. The reality is, however, that the majority of useful ways to advertise job openings these days don’t come free. If you were to advertise on a job board, through a Facebook ad, or through a radio commercial, you would be expected to pay for those privileges. The same applies to a staffing agency. Additionally, the cost to conduct background checks, drug testing and worker’s compensation coverage is costly upon hiring. At Integrated Staffing, we cover all fees including advertising, extensive background checks, Wonderlic testing, drug testing and worker’s compensation.
MYTH #3: The job candidates are often flighty, unskilled or unable to commit to full time jobs.
REALITY: While there’s always a chance that a job seeker won’t be the right ‘fit’ for your company culturally, you can rest assured that they will always have the skills, talent, and experience you are looking for. That’s because staffing services take their jobs very seriously. At Integrated Staffing, we will evaluate, interview, and background check every candidate they feel might be the right fit for your workplace.
MYTH #4: If you like a temporary employee, you won’t be able to hire him or her full time.
REALITY: This is called temp to hire, and staffing services not only allow it, but encourage it, typically a candidate has to complete a defined amount of hours before you can hire them on as your employee. At Integrated Staffing, we know we have achieved success when you want to hire them on.
MYTH #5: You can only use staffing agencies for entry level positions.
REALITY: Many employers and job seekers believe this myth, but it is simply untrue. At Integrated Staffing, we can help you find candidates to fill any position, from entry level to management. There’s no limit on the assistance our valuable resource can provide.
