Why use a Staffing Firm?
The cost of onboarding bad hires without a staffing agency
Many companies think their business can’t afford to partner with a staffing agency.
Consider for a moment: what is the cost if your most recent hire is a bad one?
According to CNET, if your company has recently onboarded a bad hire you’ll end up shelling out up to $15,000 when replacing professionals with specialized skills or a senior position.
You can avoid a bad hire and these costs by working with a staffing agency that will find the right culture fit for your team the first time around.
Reduce overhead costs
Permanent employees cost more than just the salary they are being paid. Health care, 401k retirement plans, sick days, vacation pay, and employer taxes are just a few of the costs included with permanent staff.
With a temporary staffing agency, an employer doesn’t pay any of that, they simply pay them for the work they have done, with no additional overhead costs.
Handles onboarding and payroll
A big benefit of using staffing agencies is that the staffing agency takes care of the temporary employees onboarding paperwork, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, and unemployment benefits.
Access to talent networks
A good staffing agency spends years building up their talent network through referrals, networking, and speaking with candidates daily. An employer usually doesn’t have the resources to constantly engage talent.
When an employer says “I need a staffing agency to search for IT resumes” a top IT staffing agency should be able to deliver qualified candidates in 24 to 48 hours.
