For decades at a time, staffing agencies have already been providing several services to employers as well as finding occupations for job seekers across the nation. Often known as employment agencies, these businesses, whose employees are sometimes known as head hunters, act as a recruitment service for employers who outsource their hiring needs. Theoretically, staffing agency employees specialize in specific industry knowledge (depending on the company that uses their services) and serve as a kind of human resources professional by searching for, recruiting and hiring individuals for specific jobs, conducting and dealing with payroll responsibilities, and coping with other issues such as for example disciplinary actions and employee claims on behalf of the company that employs them. While these companies are a great resource for employers that not desire to dabble in hiring affairs, and for job seekers having difficulty landing a steady position, there are many things that job hunters in particular should know. Typically, when a job seeker applies with a staffing agency, a number of things will happen. First, the candidate will undoubtedly be interviewed for the position about that they inquire. If all goes in accordance with plan, the candidate is then hired on a temporary contract with the staffing agency and then released to the company for full-time employment at a later date. When the candidate isn't selected for this position they that they apply, the staffing agency could keep their name in a job bank on file within the agency. Any potential job matches will be flagged and the candidate will be contacted when future matches meet their needs. An important to notice to make that sometimes throws interviewees off and even deters them from desperate to interview is that most staffing agencies need a computer skills assessment examination before they will even interview you for just one of their jobs. This is a good idea to sharpen through to your skills before going to the interview. Unfortunately, some staffing agencies will not interview you for any jobs if you refuse to test or fail numerous tests. So again, practice, practice, practice. Another important piece of information for the work seeker to learn is when applying for a job with a staffing agency, ensure that you note set up job is direct hire, contract to hire, or temporary contract. Staffing agencies are most likely used by companies to employ temporary contract or contract to hire positions. Temporary contract is just as it sounds. You will see a temporary amount of time that the employee will be contracted to work and at a specified date, employment will undoubtedly be terminated. Point blank. Contract to hire is slightly different. Employees may be contracted to work with a set period of time, usually 3-6 months. At the end of this time period, the company might want to hire the employee on regular, or ask the staffing agency to get rid of the contract between your company and employer. Embarca beware! Investigate the business before you sign any contracts to make sure they are reputable and hold a solid track record of hiring contract to hires on a reliable full time basis. Hands down, direct hire can be your best bet but if it is not an option, you still should consider the others offered by the agency. Much like any job search, using a staffing agency or not, research your options. Seek out just as much information about the staffing agency and the company as you can. The more you know, the less likely you are to make a poor decision.
