Have you ever felt stuck with individuals from a staffing agency that don’t fit your operational needs? Candidates who often show up for an ‘interview’ with little prior communication or preparation, lacking knowledge of the skills and responsibilities you require? In moments like these, it becomes clear that you’re dealing with a ‘body shop’ instead of a true staffing solutions partner.
You see, not all recruitment firms are created equal. As mentioned above, many operate as “body shops,” sending unvetted candidates with the wrong fit for assignments. Your business benefits from forging a relationship with a true staffing solutions partner as opposed to a mere “body shop.” As a result, expect to hire candidates boasting a stronger cultural fit with your company.
Let’s examine the myriad benefits of building a meaningful relationship with your business’s talent supplier. It helps them truly understand your company culture and operational approach, informing their choice of candidates for your organization. Onboarding the right professional in a fast and cost-effective manner ultimately helps your long-term business success.
Transparent Communication remains Essential
Having an open communication policy with your staffing agency remains a critical aspect of building a mutually-rewarding partnership. This level of transparency helps them truly understand what makes your business tick. Being upfront about your operations and ideal candidate profile also ensures your agency provides a higher grade of candidate.
Part of this communication includes providing insights on your business’s key performance indicators (KPIs). This information helps your agency partner glean insights into the effectiveness of the professionals placed at your organization. It also continues the seamless flow of valuable information, helping both your business and its agency partner improve performance.
Let your Staffing Agency Partner help with the Onboarding Process
The leading staffing agencies remain experts in the process of effective employee orientation. As a result, have them provide advice on your business’s onboarding process. This helps ensure new hires quickly become productive contributors to your business’s operations. Additionally, you stand a better chance of retaining them over time when making a permanent hire.
The same concept also applies to safety training for warehouse and logistics organizations. This approach helps your agency partner gain a more meaningful understanding of your company’s operational approach. This on-the-ground knowledge also informs the type of ideal candidate they present for any future hiring needs.
