Staffing agencies help facilitate job placements into various industries and oversee employment of candidates to ensure a successful agreement. Staffing agents collect information from hiring companies and organize available positions in job boards and other databases. Often, job seekers will answer questionnaires or interview with a representative in an effort to determine their skillset, career goals, and any other relevant information. They will then be matched to appropriate listings at companies registered with the service provider. In the event of a job match, the service will facilitate the exchange of resumes and other applicant documents, allowing businesses to screen applicants and contact them if they decide to pursue an interview or any next steps towards employment.
Many staffing agencies will maintain constant contact with both job seekers and hiring organizations, sending relevant updates or collecting feedback after job placements. Some staffing businesses focus on one or several specific industries, while others have no restrictions on the job listings they can host. Administrators of staffing businesses often utilize staffing software to help organize, update, and maintain databases of available jobs, job applicants, and registered companies.
To qualify for inclusion in the Staffing Agencies category, a service provider must:
- Match employers and job seekers for temporary, contract, or permanent positions across one or more industries
