Top 10 Tips to Successfully Work with a Recruiting Firm to Find Top Talent for Your Organization

An uptick in business for a company means a few things: more work for full-time staff, more overtime hours to pay, and higher levels of stress for all employees. When a company experiences a busy period, it can be a good idea to partner with a recruiting firm. Why? A recruiting firm can help you hire temporary workers for flexible projects and part-time or full-time employees when new jobs become available.

Below, we will discuss the top 10 tips to successfully work with a recruiting firm that helps you find top talent in your industry.

1. Find a Diamond in the Rough

One of the biggest advantages of working with a staffing firm is that the recruiters there will be able to find your company a diamond in the rough while you focus on other responsibilities.

2. Hiring Managers Are Not Distracted

When your company partners with a staffing firm, your hiring managers are not distracted from their normal daily duties. They do not have to take time out of their day to sift through resumes and interview candidates who aren’t a match for the position.

3. Recruiting Firms Have Established Networks

With so many other responsibilities on their plates, human resources managers do not have time to keep their professional networks updated. Recruiting firms have networks established that they can pull from when jobs become available.

4. Recruiters Focus Attention on an Opening

When an opening occurs at your company, the recruiter will focus their attention on it, so the perfect candidate is found for the job.

5. Recruiters Find Pre-Qualified Candidates

Working with a staffing firm will save your company time and money because recruiters will find candidates who are pre-qualified for your opening and then send them your way.

6. Recruiters Provide Hard-to-Reach Candidates

A recruiting firm will provide a company with candidates who are hard-to-reach using various recruiting methods including networking, social media and use of an industry specific database, along with traditional methods such as posting job openings online, in forums or in newspapers.

7. Objective Look at Candidates

Recruiters will provide a company with an objective look at all of the candidates gathered for a job opening.

8. Recruiters Learn the Company

A recruiting firm will learn the ins and outs of the company it has partnered with so it knows what type of employees will excel there. They then try to match that information with top candidates.

9. Recruiters Represent Company Positively

A recruiting firm is an extension of the company, which means it will represent it positively in the job market so candidates know what type of organization they might be working for if offered a job.

10. Knowledge of Employment Laws

A popular benefit of working with a recruiting firm is the fact that certified recruiters know the updates to employment law in your area.When it comes time to fill an open job at your company, consider partnering with a recruiting firm to find the best talent out there today. Don’t leave things to chance.

Temporary and Contract Work Booming! 6 Reasons to Consider Temporary Employment

As the job market continues to recover from previous unemployment rates, it appears that temporary and contract work is booming. Why is this? Employers are more willing to take on temporary employees as a way to find great employees and quickly fill staffing requirements while still maintaining employee skill sets. Temporary work is also an excellent option for those who are in between jobs or looking to gain career experience in a new organization.

Here, we will discuss the reasons why you should consider temporary employment and how you can benefit from this arrangement.

Learn New Skills

A temporary job is an excellent way for you to learn a new skill, especially if you need that new skill for a full-time job for which you wish to apply down the road. The new skill could be technical, physical or in the leadership field. Simply watching others around you in all of the temporary jobs you work will help you pick up on some new things you can leverage when applying for jobs elsewhere.

Flexibility of Scheduling

Flexibility is a key benefit of working temporary employment. Those who work in temporary jobs will find it very easy to arrange their schedule. This means that when you need to take time off, you can take a break in your career. As a temporary worker, you do not have to file a request with your employer for time off. Instead, you simply do not schedule another job to start until after your schedule is open again.

Make a Life Transition Easier

Life transitions, such as moving to a new state, are very difficult for some people to make successfully. Working temporary jobs can make a life transition easier for some. A temporary job will help a newly relocated person learn the culture of the area, learn what the job environment is like and much more. This will make it easier to accept a full-time job down the road because you will know what to expect on the job.

Temporary Often Leads to Regular Full-Time Position

It is quite possible that a temporary job could turn into a regular full-time position one without you even knowing it. Some companies hire temporary workers with the goal of keeping them on full-time if you are a good culture fit with the organization. The thing is, the company does not always know an opening will come up, so the employee will not know that this is a possibility. This is why you must put your best foot forward as a temporary worker.

Increase Your Network

Why not meet some new career contacts while earning a paycheck? If you love to network, temporary employment is an excellent way to do it. By working at a new company every couple of months, you will be able to add countless new people to your network. This will help improve your chances of landing a regular full-time job.

Earn Respect Within the Industry

An excellent way to earn respect within the industry is by working temporary jobs. You not only meet scores of new people, but you also build a reputation within the industry as a hardworking temporary employee. For all you know, a former temporary employer might contact you in the future for a full-time job.

There are plenty of reasons why you should work temporary jobs these days and we only touched the surface of them above. Find out more by connecting with the accounting recruitment specialists at Casey Resources.
