Value of outsourcing

The value of outsourcing

Reduce Costs

The most significant value may be created by freeing up valuable HR resources that are spent managing workers’ compensation, payroll, benefits, unemployment insurance, and many other employee management-related tasks.  While an associate is on the payroll of the agency, the agency incurs all of this burden/risk.  This allows the hiring company to work with the candidate for an agreed amount of time to make sure they are the right fit for the company before bringing them onto their payroll.

Save Time

Hiring a new employee isn’t done in a day.  Posting job ads, reviewing resumes, checking references, and interviewing all take valuable time.  When hiring through an agency, all the leg work is done for you.  In addition, most agencies will run drug test and test candidates on specific skills i.e. typing, Microsoft proficiencies, data entry, Coding, etc… to ensure the candidate has the skills required for the position.

Mitigate Risk

Workplace accidents will happen, and when they do, businesses incur significant losses of time and money dealing with a variety of legal ramifications, like workers’ compensation.  Reputable agencies maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for their associates so that burden doesn’t fall on the company should an injury occur.

Changing Employment Laws

According to the SBA, 99% of employer firms are small businesses.  That means most companies don’t have the resources to hire a F/T HR Manager.  Staffing companies are not only experts at recruiting, interviewing, and hiring, but they also stay up to date with ever-changing employment laws and regulations.

Increase Flexibility

A lot of companies have peak periods/seasons in the business where they need an additional workforce.  Using an agency allows the company to get the help need during that time period while having the ability to scale back down and not have to worry about HR paperwork or Unemployment claims liability.

Access Top Talent

Successful Agencies build extensive pools of talent by constantly recruiting.  From online advertising to social media to referrals from current associates, staffing firms have a wealth of resources that are hard to match.  The interview candidates in lots of different industries, with wide ranges of disciplines and skill sets; all of which a company has access to if they have the right relationship with a recruiter.
