Different Types of Staffing Services – & How Your Company Can Benefit from Each

Are you searching for a temporary worker to fill in during an employee’s sick or vacation time? Do you need to find your next talented full-time hire? Do you want to try out and evaluate a potential employee before committing to a full-time hiring decision? A South Florida staffing services firm can help with these and many other needs.

But if you’ve never worked with such a firm before, it can be hard to understand the services offered and what to expect with each one. To help you in the process, here’s a look at each:

Temporary staffing.

Temporary staffing is the way to go if you need a worker to fill in, or if you’re experiencing a seasonal increase in demand. A temporary employee can step in and help you get projects completed, orders out the door and customers taken care of – for a temporary period of time. The length of the assignment depends on your needs.

Benefits:

  • Added flexibility.
  • Access to manpower without an increase to overhead.
  • Free up core staff to focus on other priorities.

Temporary-to-hire staffing.

If you think you may need to hire full-time, but aren’t sure you can sustain the demand, then temporary-to-hire staffing can offer the best of both worlds. Or, if you’ve been burned by a hiring mistake in the past and want to evaluate a prospective new hire first before bringing them on board full-time, temporary-to-hire staffing is a good option. With this service, you can bring in a worker for a set period of time, during which you can evaluate their skills and work ethic. At the end of the probationary period, you then have the option to hire them full-time.

Benefits:

  • Try a potential worker out before hiring them full-time.
  • Reduce the risk of a hiring mistake.
  • Gain peace of mind in knowing you’re hiring people who will be a fit for the job, as well as the company culture.

Direct hire staffing.

When you need to hire a full-time employee, you can turn to a staffing agency for help with direct hiring. They will source candidates; screen, interview and test them; check credentials and references; and then send you the best fit ones to interview. Throughout the process, they can help you craft more targeted job descriptions, develop on-target compensation packages, and gain access to a more robust network of talented candidates.

Benefits:

  • Gain faster access to skilled candidates.
  • Gain access to candidates with a specialized skill set.
  • Only interview candidates that have already been thoroughly vetted by a staffing firm, saving you time and money in the process.
  • Make better hiring decisions.
