Ramp Up with the Help
of a Staffing Agency
Working with a staffing agency to build up existing teams leads
to a number of indirect benefits that are extremely valuable to
organizations. Below are a few tips as well as perks to working
with a staffing agency:
Strategic Partnership
Viewing a staffing agency as a strategic partner is a great
starting point. The more committed your organization appears to
the agency, the more value they will place on fulfilling the
search. This is because the typical model of engagement allows
the agency to receive compensation only once they have delivered
a qualified candidate.
Confidentiality
In general, the perception is that if a company has hired an
agency to work on a search, the openings must be more
prestigious. This adds value to the requirements your
organization needs to fill. Also, if issues exist with a current
employee, it is possible to post a replacement ad confidentially
through a staffing agency.
‘Try Before you Buy’
Starting a new employee in temporary or contract work is a great
way to see if he or she fits the company culture and pace of
work. Potentially, he or she could become a permanent employee,
and would be fully integrated in advance.
The Market Scoop
Staffing agencies have an ear to the rail when it comes to the
market, with the inside scoop on salary, compensation and even
benefit trends. Agencies know what other companies are offering
to top talent in the marketplace and how your organization
compares.
If a staffing agency is doing its job, your organization will
have a more scrubbed candidate to interview. Formal references
will have been checked, as well as informal references that the
staffing agent has unique ways of accessing. Furthermore, the
agent can negotiate on behalf of both parties to help close an
open position that might not have been finalized otherwise.
In working with a staffing agency it is important to spend the
time it takes to build a strategic partnership. The benefits of
doing so far outweigh the costs. Call your Clovis representative
