Staff Up for Your Busy Season by Partnering with a Staffing Firm

Posted on May 17th, 2016 Read time: 2 minutes

As a small business owner, you don’t always have the time or expertise for interviewing, screening and hiring top talent. You’re better off utilizing a staffing firm to find workers, especially during your busy seasons. 

  • Save Time

A staffing agency has prescreened workers with specialized skill sets who can start working at your company quickly. You won’t spend hours going through resumes or screening candidates. Simply interview the qualified workers sent to you and decide who fits your organization best. The staffing firm handles all payroll and administrative work, including compliance with all Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements. You free up time to focus on your core business and improve your bottom line.

  • Save Money

Utilizing a staffing firm means you don’t pay for expensive advertising, skills tests, drug screenings, background checks and other costs. The agency does all that for you. You’ll save money on salaries, benefits, overtime, taxes and workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance since you don’t employ temporary staff.

  • Eliminate Commitment

You can request temporary staff during high-volume times, company expansions, and short-term projects or to fill employee absences; when the assignment is over the temporary agency can put the employees to work at another client if you no longer have the need.  If you have a permanent opening within your organization, you can request a worker on a temp-to-hire basis, make sure they are the right fit for the job, then decide whether to make a permanent job offer or ask for a replacement worker.
