Why Staffing Services? They Can Save You Money and Time

An HR team discusses the savings the uncovered when working with The Panther Group to source talent and added their employees to The Panther Group's payrolling services.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, companies are constantly seeking ways to optimize their operations and maximize efficiency. Staffing services can be an invaluable resource in this endeavor, providing companies with access to a pool of qualified talent, reducing the burden of recruitment and hiring, and ultimately saving both time and money.

What Are the Types of Staffing Services?

There are three primary types of staffing services: contract to hire, direct hire, and temporary staffing. Each type offers unique benefits and drawbacks, making it important for companies to carefully consider their specific needs before selecting a service.

  • Contract to hire: Contract to hire staffing is a flexible and cost-effective solution for companies that need to fill temporary or long-term positions. With contract to hire, companies can assess a candidate’s skills and compatibility before committing to a permanent hire. This can help reduce the risk of making a costly hiring mistake.

  • Direct hire: Direct hire staffing is the traditional method of hiring employees. With direct hire, companies recruit and interview candidates directly, ultimately hiring them as permanent employees. This approach can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, but it also gives companies complete control over the hiring process.

  • Temporary staffing: Temporary staffing is ideal for companies that need to fill short-term positions or manage fluctuating workloads. Temporary staffing agencies provide companies with access to a pool of qualified temporary workers, allowing them to quickly and easily fill staffing gaps.

What Are The Benefits of Staffing Services?

Staffing services offer a wide range of benefits to companies, including:

  • Reduced time to hire: Staffing agencies can significantly reduce the time it takes to hire a new employee. This is because they have access to a large pool of qualified candidates and can quickly screen and assess candidates for suitability.

  • Reduced recruitment costs: Staffing agencies can help companies save money on recruitment costs by handling the time-consuming and expensive tasks of advertising, screening, and interviewing candidates.

  • Access to specialized talent: Staffing agencies often have access to specialized talent that may be difficult for companies to find on their own. This can be particularly valuable for companies that need to fill positions in niche industries or with unique skill sets.

  • Flexibility: Staffing services provide companies with the flexibility they need to adjust their staffing levels as business needs change. This can help companies avoid the costs of overstaffing or understaffing.

What Are Some Potential Examples of Staffing Success?

Numerous companies have experienced significant savings and increased efficiency by utilizing staffing services. For instance, a leading technology company reduced its time to hire by 50% and saved over $2 million in recruitment costs by partnering with a staffing agency. Similarly, a manufacturing company was able to avoid a costly production delay by using a temp agency to fill a critical position on short notice.

What Does The Data Say For Staffing Services?

Reduced time to hire: According to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), staffing agencies can reduce the time to hire by an average of 27%.

Reduced recruitment costs: A study by Staffing Industry Analysts found that companies that use staffing agencies save an average of 25% on their recruitment costs.

Access to specialized talent: A study by the American Staffing Association found that 80% of companies use staffing agencies to find specialized talent.

Choosing the Right Staffing Service For Your Needs?
