Staffing firms can play a critical role in helping companies find talent. By staffing firms I mean any external search firm that earns a fee for making a placement with a company. This includes staffing agencies, RPOs, Master vendor, executive search firms.etc There is nothing inherently superior to recruiters who work at external firms when compared to corporate recruiters, other than they tend to work fewer assignments and their compensation is based on their results, not their level of activity.

You lost a large amount of time by position analysis, posting the position, accumulating resumes, reviewing resumes and scheduling interviews. Having a partner that is proactive rather than reactive in the recruiting process quickly cuts your costly down time
8. Money Saved
The average direct cost for a new employee is Rs. 80,000/- to 1 Lakh (Above 3 Yrs) including basic wages, benefits, and taxes. Add in costly overtime during the vacancy of the position, recruiting and advertising costs, screening and testing costs, and this number can quickly keep growing. A staffing service can provide you with a predictable cost per hire and many offer financial guarantees to support the quality of their talent. In addition to cost per hire savings, employees contracted through staffing agency fall under the staffing agency’s unemployment and worker’s compensation claims. This can quickly decrease costly overhead due to injuries and employee turnover.
