When searching for the right staffing firm to partner with, you need to know that they can actually deliver. This means they should have the right experience and resources in your industry and expertise in recruiting for the types of positions you’ll need filled.

Each staffing firm lives by a set of values whether they state it or not. You often can check out their core values on their website (Here are ours). You can even get a feel for their values by checking out their social media sites and public reviews. Pay close attention to their responses to negative reviews especially. Every business gets them. How they respond is a good indicator of their values.
3. A Strong Commitment to Diversity
A commitment to diverse recruiting strategies is now a must. While there are staffing firms that don’t take the time and effort to network, recruit and hire underrepresented professionals, the ones that do have better reputations and better business practices overall
4. Modern Recruiting, Hiring, and Onboarding Practices
Many recruiting firms are stuck in the past, searching for talent as the inquiries come in. A truly top-notch national staffing firm is going to have talent pools ready to go to help you ramp up your operations. These pools are consistently being fed by recruiting streams and targeted recruiting strategies on social media, email, and other platforms. Their recruiting, hiring, and onboarding teams are going to be streamlined in their approach to providing you with the best talent quickly. If you’re looking to really streamline the process, utilizing a Staffing Firm to organize all your vendors into an MSP model can make it much easier to ramp up operations when needed, as well as meet your business goals more quickly.
Top national staffing firms connect with and network with companies consistently. This means that they are on the front end of new jobs that are on the market and can connect you with these opportunities even before they hit sites like Indeed.
Your ability to find opportunities is limited to your ability to your personal network. Top national staffing firms already have connections with companies that are growing and in search of your skills.
If you apply for a job with a national staffing firm and make a connection with one of their recruiters, the opportunities are endless. As you navigate your career, the recruiter has the data and career opportunities that may be able to connect you to new opportunities when you are ready to advance your career to the next level. Experts agree that elevating your career almost always comes down to networking. A national recruiting firm does the networking for you and can connect you with companies at each step in your career.
Better Job Fit
When you’re looking for a new job, there is always the question, “can you do the job with the skills and experience you have.” This is a personal question but also one that the recruiter and company will ask. If you partner with a recruitment firm like the Panther Group, you are more likely to find that fit.
Our Professional Recruitment Areas of focus include
You can find most national staffing firms’ jobs on public career sites but the best place to research them is through their own websites and career portals.
Apply Via a public job board and best of all through their website Career Portal
Applying through public sites may be a quick and easy way to apply for a job, but applying on their company’s website and career portal may get you a quicker response and help later on.
Follow Up With a Phone Call (Communicate Effectively!)
Following up on an application submittal is the best practice. Even back “in the day”, dropping off your resume and application was always followed up with a quick phone call. The best national staffing firms should be able to connect you with an actual person on a phone call. This personalized touch is what separates many staffing agencies from the top staffing firms.
Apply to Several Jobs that May Be A Good Fit
When you apply for a job on a staffing firm’s career portal, look at the other jobs that they have listed. There may be more than one job that you could be a good candidate for. Apply to each of them and let the individual recruiters do the screening. Additionally, top recruiting firms usually utilize application screening tools that help them better match applicants to specific jobs. If you apply to several jobs that could be a good fit, you increase the odds that you get a job.
When you have absences, our interim and contract staff can help. We provide highly-skills and specialized talent for short and long-term projects or busy periods with our clients

Through ongoing sourcing and nurturing of talent pools, a national recruiting firm can find you the best talent more quickly. When you leave a position unfilled it can cost you a lot of money.

Short (and long) answer. Yes! As a company, you have so many options that take the pressure off of you and your team to constantly be sourcing new talent. As a job seeker and professional, this could be one of the easiest ways to gain access to many more job opportunities than you are personally able to network for.
Working with a staffing firm can:
Reduce your overhead costs
control overtime pay
replace the need for short term staff
save you money and time on recruiting, hiring and onboarding costs
give you better access to diverse talent networks
enable you to work with contractors before you offer full-time jobs, thus allowing you to “try before you buy” in some cases.
