Many businesses, small and large, want to understand the benefits of working with a staffing company. Not only can a company provide temporary staff for various projects, but they can also help develop a talent pipeline. Partnering with a local agency is a great way to gain access to top talent. Consider these five reasons to work with a staffing service in your area.

• Generate interest. A primary mission of a staffing company is to develop relationships with candidates. It is our job to pass on information about fantastic job openings to each person we feel is a stellar candidate. If you are frequently looking for star talent, we are able to share that information with candidates who apply with us, so they are excited about an opportunity when it becomes available.
• A bigger window. Most job postings only run for a few weeks at a time. This limited time frame also limits the potential candidates who will apply. A perfect employee may not see the job posting or be able to submit their resume prior to a hiring decision being made. By working with a staffing service in your area, you give candidates unlimited access to your opportunities, creating a bigger pool of potential new employees.
• Establishing your brand. Potential candidates should know your company and be interested in working with you even when you’re not hiring. Develop an online brand that showcases your successes and shares your work environment in a way that generates excitement. A local staffing service can provide this information to potential candidates as well.
• Using technology. Mobile devices and social networking have changed the recruiting landscape for good. To engage the next generation of talent, companies need to embrace these technologies and reach out to Gen Y. These employees want to work for a company, which embraces these new processes and will tend to avoid an organization that doesn’t appear to be part of the information age. A staffing company can help you put together this plan and target the right candidates.
• Community building. A job post is not always a two-way street. Sometimes it is more like a web. Individuals will see postings and forward them to friends or family they feel will be a good fit. Staffing services offer referral programs that attract good candidates, who then recommend other qualified candidates.
