Finding top talent remains a huge challenge for many companies, especially those in the light industrial sector. Reviewing applications, interviewing candidates, and negotiating compensation all take precious time away from the hiring manager, which may overshadow their existing obligations. This is why many employers are outsourcing their hiring needs to staffing firms, which helps to alleviate the burdens associated with the hiring process.
Here are 4 things you need to know about working with a light industrial staffing agency.
Before you can start finding top talent, you need to choose a staffing partner that is right for your business. Some staffing agencies specialize in one or more specific industries, while others take a more general approach. It is important that you find one that understands your industry and has a proven track record of providing quality employees. If you are a distribution company, for example, a staffing agency that specializes in light industrial jobs will best understand what you are looking for in an employee.
The main goal of a good staffing company is to help you find the best employees for your team, but that won't be possible unless you clearly communicate with them about your company, the position, and the type of person you are looking for to fill that role. Be as open as possible about your expectations in order for your staffing partner to find the best fit.
If you have ever been involved in the hiring process, you know that it can require more time than you have to give. Reviewing resumes, interviewing candidates, and following up with references are all demanding tasks that most employers don't have the time for. Light industrial staffing agencies have experienced staff who are dedicated to finding the right person to fill your company's position.
Not only does a staffing partner save you time, but it can also save you money. Many new hire costs are absorbed by the staffing agency, as are benefits and sometimes training for temporary employees. A top issue that light industrial hiring managers face is finding warehouse, manufacturing, assembly, and production workers who show up for work. Consider working with a staffing company that will sponsor incentive programs to promote good attendance. This will protect your investment in recruiting and maximize productivity and retention.
