Staffing agencies are the right answer to all your recruiting needs, they not only lessen the concerns around hiring good candidates but lower the costs around managing the entire employment process, pre-employment testing, background investigations, drug screening et al. Let’s discuss the important points to consider while choosing your staffing partner or in specific terms a top recruitment service company.
Choosing the best one
The quest for right employees begins with finalizing a good staffing partner, a reputed entity that has made a mark by delivering excellence and following good business practices. While making a choice make sure to verify if there are strong step-wise parameters in place before finalizing the candidates/employees, like background verification shouldn’t be just based on reference checks rather full screening. Going by the prominence given to business/client relationships, a company must understand good employees lay the foundation of a successful business so before we value customers it’s important that we ensure the team we’re establishing has been chosen carefully, considering all the needful parameters. While looking for a recruiting partner make sure you check the reviews and sit around to consider the ones that work based on establishing personal relations (think of your business as their own)
Specify what is seeked, clearly
Whether you wish the whole process of finalizing should be done from the staffing end or you just want them to finalize the candidate based on the requirement approach the staffing agency and mention the deliverables clearly. You can make the best of the good options, only when you are clear on what services do you wish to avail and how clear are with communicating them. Your requirements for the candidates, about the company and its services everything must be clearly specified to the staffing partner. Once you’re done with defining the job description and required skill-set for the available jobs, specify the laid business policies around working hours, dress code and mandatory fulfilments, to fit in well with the professional culture in the organization.
Keep a check on legal mandates
While choosing a staffing partner, you must thoroughly check whether or not the firm abides by the legal protocols while considering the candidature. Considering the type of job profiles you have shared with the staffing firm, they should help you with legal background check of the person, employment-related legal details for eg has the person left the previous employers on good-note, with no legal spats or hussles, worker classification and payroll taxes are intact et al. If the employment is contractual/term-based and the staffing firm is the employer then tax mandates must be well taken care of. Additionally firms must ensure that there are proper provisions in place regarding indemnification clause, this will protect both the parties from issues that may arise.
Good that remains good is real good
It’s important to acknowledge the fact they your company is there to stay and so are the people/things related to it. Once you finalize on a good agency, make sure to build closer ties and a healthy nurturing relation to make sure they became a part of your lasting growth. Choose the staffing agency that provides high-quality service and well-qualified personnels, unprecedented time’s calls for unrealistic hiring plans and when you have a good rapport with the staffing consultants you can always expect them to stand by you during the tough times. If you truly end up having a good staffing partner, who has proven to be capable, reliable and competent then you can completely focus on budding your business, because the recruitment will all be their responsibility.
