ADVANTAGES OF STAFFING AGENCY

Staffing agencies contribute to the industry by conducting recruitment drives and staffing potential candidates for organizations, which do not have time, money and the related resources for getting the job done. By stating the aims and needs of the company, through such agencies, staffing agencies, Temporary Staffing, Contract Staffing will recruit the staff based on that criteria. Some staffing agencies provide temporary workers and some would provide permanent employees based on the quota and the demand of the organization.

What is a Recruitment or Staffing Agency?

Recruitment agencies are private agencies that provide candidates for many Multi National Companies like NTT DATA, Dell, Delloite, IBM, HCL etc and also provide job offers and chances for potential employees and candidates. Based on the job description and criteria set by the company, they select various types of candidates through different fields such as advertisements, job sites, through their websites, job fairs and also through social media. When a recruiter finds the candidate profile they go through various processes such as screening tests, verifications etc. If the candidate is suitable for that job profile and meets the company requirement and description, the recruiter sets up an interview with the candidate to discuss the skills and career choices. This information is then passed through the final company where they will decide if the selected candidate has enough skills and ability for the job. After the interview with the recruiter is successful, the recruiter approves the candidate and the candidate is then set up for an interview with the client. The client then goes through the information and points which were sent by the recruiter along with the performance comments. The client conducts the interview with the candidate and if the potential candidate has done the interview very well, he/she would secure the job position, and they might get the job.

Why Recruitment and Staffing Agencies?

We feel happy when some companies are hiring through such agencies for recruitment. There are so many factors that add to this factor. The main reason for recruitment agencies is to appoint and recruit the employees based on the employment type and since it is their job to do so, they will recruit employees more efficiently. Moreover, they know how to recruit the employees based on the economic and financial market relating to the organization. Furthermore, recruiting agencies are agencies that work parallel to the main organization and try to create a workforce for the main company. In this way, the company can save a lot of income on recruitment expenses, transportation and also keeping track of their employees. They also maintain a separate record only for the purpose and they will save time and money for the documentation.

Advantages of Working with a Staffing Firm:

Save Time
Expertise
Cost
Network
Providing the required guidance and Skills
No Need of advertisement of Company
Less Footwork

Save Time :

Staffing firms have a wide access to help in getting searching & get into jobs for all the candidates that are not found through a simple job search. Hence, there is a wide variety of choices for the candidate to get a job through Consultancy. As a point of view from the candidate, most of the work is done by a recruitment agency and hence not much work is involved for the candidate. Most of the recruiters are knowledgeable about the different trends and changes present in the industry and they try to recruit people according to the current state of the industry. They take only the required amount of employees for the company. Especially if the market is not stable and promising for new employees. Instead of the company, spending hours and hours every day recruiting new people, most of the paperwork and the hard work is done by the recruitment agency.

Expertise :

Staffing agencies always have a high level of expertise that exceeds a way more than the human resource department of most of the MNC companies. Unlike, the human resource department where they won’t contact one type of people, they contact the different groups of people, the recruiting agency tends to meet with people of various industries and they get a chance to learn about the leading technology, how technology is shifting and how the trends are in the market. Also, recruiting agencies are more suitable for working long tedious hours for employing candidates rather than the HR of a company. They also provide expert recruiters and employment specialists at a low cost than most of the third party companies.

Network :

Staffing agencies have a large network of available workers than the HR department for most companies. Normally, when a company wants workers to work for them, the first thing that they do is advertise, followed by their interview and screening processes and also process the required documentation so as to hire them. Recruiting agencies, on the other hand, have a well-spread network, where they already are in contact with workers whom they identify as the dependent, versatile and fit for the job. So, when employing a recruitment agency, the required amount of manpower that is required for a company can be easily filled within a matter of hours or days, unlike the direct recruitment process, where the company has to wait for months just to get the required number of employees.

Cost :

Using staffing agencies can be considered advantageous for most companies, since they do not have to spend extra money on employee recruitment and also for funding various processes like pre-employment testing, background testing and also drug screening. They also provide extra cost savings by creating payroll databases and also added administration benefits

How to Prepare for Your Next Interview

Hiring, Recruitment June 20, 2018 Bloom Leave a comment consultancy hiring recruitment recruitment firm staffing services

Job interviews are scary, doesn’t matter you are a fresher or not. There is nothing to panic about it at all, staying clam will make you feel more comfortable and confident. Having the best resume and cover letter can get an interview request. It’s time to understand how to succeed in the job interview so that you are ever closer to your goal of obtaining one or more job offers. Interviews can be intimidating, and it isn’t always clear what employers are looking for. The more carefully you prepare, the better you will do.

One of the major mistakes made by the job seekers in order to impress is oversharing. Oversharing in an interview is the dangerous thing you can do. Sharing to much about you may create a poor impression and cut short the hiring manager’s time for further questions. It may also happen that out of nervousness you blabber endlessly about irrelevant information.

When you are asked to tell about yourself, never ever go for long stories. Always keep it short and simple, that is what preferred. Most important thing is your body language. If you never smile, have a limp handshake, and don’t make eye contact with the interviewer, can make the person feel you not interested. As long as you not interested, they aren’t interested in hiring you. Here appearing interested means that even though the job isn’t relevant to your profile, you ready to work for them anyways. Talking about your skills that they looking for, being confident and the way you communicate is a good way to impress. It’s important to know that you don’t have to answer every question asked, its okay not to answer when you not sure.

Better be prepared for everything, no one knows what might be asked. Knowing in and out about the company is also very essential. Only when you completely know about the company, you can have a clear idea of what they looking for. Listen carefully to what is being asked and make sure you have the exact answers, show them what you know. Also be ready with a list of few questions to ask. It is important to have at least one or two questions prepared in order to demonstrate your interest in the organization. Otherwise, you might come across as apathetic, which is a major turn off for hiring managers.

Benefits of Chilling with Employees this Summer

Recruitment, Uncategorized April 24, 2018 Bloom Leave a comment contract staffing permanent staffing recruitment firm staffing services

Celebrations in offices are a common scenario with birthdays and the ‘n’ number of festivities held in the country. But to host an event once a month as a part of the work calendar just to celebrate work, effort and dedication holds its own place of benefit.

We have all come across comedy scenarios on TV shows, of HR’s hosting out of the box and sometimes out of the mind team building exercises. No doubt, some of them are fun but most of them are to be made fun off. These team building events do have their own place, but a regular event helps not only motivate the people you work with, but also makes them feel valued. I work at an IT consulting firm that provides staffing services. It is a fast paced job in the genre of HR. Here, everyone is pro in sales, technology and might I add competitive. After all, incentive is one of the main perks in this field.

To host an event on a regular basis for your employees has its benefits. Especially, when you are a part of a demanding job role that expects more than going the extra mile. So, let me walk you through the 3^rd Saturday of Summer.

It is Friday night, relaxing at home after a long week, browsing through my wardrobe trying to decide on an outfit for the ‘Sun Kissed Summer Goa Theme’ – celebration. So, what are we celebrating? A lot! After all, it’s not every day that you get to see your manager’s look in Goa is stunning (mortals after all), colleagues dance moves that mooove, laughter and selfies never seen before.

It was during that fun filled time of luminaire club-stage lights, eureka of the benefits of hosting this event strikes.

Sense of Belonging:

It might sound freshman year of college but after attending this monthly weekend of fun, frolic, party you can be a week old in the company but you now know everyone’s name, friends with them, well informed on the fun side of the company and individuals. A sense of belonging to that firm, that you are warmly welcomed and are a part of this mania.

Reward & Recognition:

There is no fun if there is no competition. The joy of receiving your well-earned incentive check not only shows your strength and ability in front of the entire staff. But also makes a loud and clear statement saying that, you are in this to win it. Your career goals are set and you are focused. To be appreciated with a check means enough but to set the statement in front of your competing team boost a healthy ego in itself.

Motivation:

The level of motivation that is created after a party hard to work hard is impeccable. Some of the renowned professors have already stated that the most exciting yet rewarding job is that of a HR Recruiter. This is motivating enough to know that, you are closing in on a top talent for a firm and at the same time, you are changing the life of an individual, by placing him/her in their potential dream job. The cherry on the cake is also the simple motto of ‘Work Hard Party Hard’.

Loyalty:

Every time management takes initiative to organise a time to celebrate, appreciate and create a fun environment for employees. It creates a sense of comfort and loyalty towards the management. You know they appreciate the effort and the hard work that goes into closing each position whether it is permanent hiring or contract hiring.

As a recruiter, I understand the amount of effort and perseverance it takes, to close a challenging requirement from the client. When, a monthly effort is put in to notice, reward and appreciate your work from the management’s side creates a whole new effect.
