Managing your workforce can be expensive and time-consuming. Even when you only have to hire for one or two positions every once in a while, it’s almost a full-time job to recruit, interview candidates, check references, hire, onboard, and train. But when you work with a staffing firm, you can make sure that your workforce is being managed—recruited, hired, and trained—more efficiently. Here are smart ways to drive efficiency into how you manage your workforce.
6 Ways To Inject Efficiency into How You Manage
1. Control costs
The cost of hiring a new employee is expensive, and the time spent on hiring doesn’t generate income, but a staffing agency can help minimize your costs. Most of the billing rates are centralized and automated, contracts are fairly standard, and most of the costs are driven by the supply and demand of the labor market. This means you’ll get a competitive rate, significantly reducing your costs.
2. Quicker access to more candidates
Staffing firms have access to and build a massive talent pool. So when you have a position that suddenly needs to be filled, even those really tough to fill roles that are highly skilled, your ideal candidates can be found as soon as possible. Whether you’re looking for a temporary employee, a direct hire placement, you can be sure you’ll be matched with the most talented and qualified applicants.
3. Greater consistency
When you partner with a staffing firm who gets to know your hiring needs, you can be sure that you’ll be getting high-quality hires who will fit into your company culture, perform to your expectations, and meet your specific hiring specifications. You’ll be relying on professionals instead of on the whims and moods of your managers. These professionals are experts and scanning resumes and eliciting the right information out of interviewees.
4. More efficient technology
Better technology means that staffing firms can search their massive databases of qualified candidates more quickly. This means your open positions won’t have to stay open for very long.
5. Tailor to your needs
You have hiring needs that are unique to your company, but a good staffing firm can get to know those needs, analyze your culture, and find the best workforce solutions to match them. You won’t have to worry about finding and securing the best candidates because the experts will be able to do that for you.
6. Meet compliance standards
Perhaps the most stressful part of hiring is making sure you’ve maintained legal and tax compliance throughout the whole process. Working with a staffing firm you’ll be relying on experienced professionals to make sure all your temporary staff is properly hired, onboarded, and paid according to state and federal laws. They can manage all your documentation, insurance, and tax forms, so you’re not burdened with that complication.
