As the new year gets underway, you may want to take a long look at your workforce and ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have too much overhead?
- Are you having trouble finding employees with the right skills?
- Are you experiencing a high rate of turnover?
- Are your job requisitions not being filled quickly enough?
If you’re seeing one or more of these problems, your internal HR team could be overwhelmed—with too much work or too little strategy. What’s a solution? Try working with a reputable staffing agency. Here’s how Staffers can help:
Problem #1: Too much overhead.
Solution: Use temporary employees.
Temporary employees allow you to convert fixed expenses to variable expenses since you only pay for temporary employees on an as-needed basis. In addition to helping you cover seasonal peaks and high demand periods, temporary workers can also help you to eliminate overtime—saving you money in the process. Plus, with a temporary workforce, you don’t have to worry about paying out benefits, such as health insurance and vacation time, since temporary employees work for the staffing company, not for you.
Problem #2: Need more flexibility.
Solution: Flexible staffing can help you meet fluctuating demands.
There are probably many times during the year when you feel either overstaffed or understaffed. When demand fluctuates, your workforce can too. With flexible staffing, you can use temporary employees to help you complete big projects, handle a peak in demand, or cover sick leaves, all without having to hire full-time staff. Then, once your need is filled, you can simply release the temporary employees.
Problem #3: Can’t find employees with the right skills or personality.
Solution: Develop a better network.
Many staffing agencies (like Staffers) have developed a network of professionals who are top performers. As a result, we can give you access to a pool of talent that has the skills and experience you’re looking for.
Problem #4: Experiencing too much turnover.
Solution: Work with a staffing agency who knows how to assess cultural fit.
Hiring the wrong person is a painful mistake to make. But when you work with a reputable staffing agency, one that knows how to properly source and screen high quality candidates, you’ll end up with a skilled and dependable employee. In addition, you’ll also have more time and energy to focus on your core competencies, rather than posting job advertisements, screening resumes, and interviewing candidates.
Problem #5: You can’t afford to hire another HR person.
Solution: Outsource your HR function to a staffing agency.
Human Resources is an increasingly complex and critical function, requiring a range of support and expertise. Many staffing agencies, like Staffers, can provide that range.
