The Benefits of Working with a Local Staffing Agency

There are numerous reasons to hire a staffing agency in general. Hiring talented individuals for companies to prosper is what a staffing agency does. The time and money, not to mention the headaches, will all be eased by simply hiring a staffing agency. Aside from the benefits of hiring an agency, what are the benefits of hiring a local agency? We put together a list of reasons why hiring a local agency would be beneficial to you.

1. They know the area!

• It is a good idea to target companies that reside where your positions are based. The last thing people want to do is commute clear to the other side of the city. Hiring a local agency will allow them know and understand the city and find candidates for certain locations.

2. Familiar with the individuals they staff

• When hiring a local staffing agency, you can be rest assured that they are familiar with the individuals they staff. Local staffing agencies have the ability to bring individuals in for a face to face interview and allow the agency to become familiar with the candidates.

3. Experience

• There are several types of recruiting or staffing agencies. However, hiring someone who specialized in a certain area, for instance, healthcare, will assure you are working with a company that is familiar with procedures, licensing, certifications, etc.

4. Cost and Fees

• You and your Human Resource department are busy with keeping up with the ever changing business industry. Hiring a staffing agency cuts the costs of advertising, weeding out candidates and staffing.
• When you employ temp agencies, it- not you – becomes the temp worker’s employer. The agency is responsible for the financial burden of recruiting, screening, testing and hiring workers; payroll expenses and paperwork, payroll and withholding taxes, unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance, and employee benefits they may wish to provide.
• Hiring a staffing agency can all around cut costs. Hiring a local company assures that you will be on the same page when it comes to rates and fees based on the cost of living of your area.

5. Network

• Staffing agencies have a larger network of people who are ready to work. Agencies have relationships with workers that have already been identified as dependable and reliable and who can fill a vacancy in a matter of days, or even hours.
