Staffing and recruiting services provide workers to companies with hiring needs. They are contracted or hired by businesses to recruit and employ workers. Beyond supplying qualified candidates, many staffing and recruiting agencies are responsible for paying wages, withholding all necessary taxes, and maintaining insurances. Most staffing and recruiting firms charge the client a percentage of the annual salary of the open position.

Types of Services There are several types of staffing and recruiting firms, and each type offers specific services to its clients. The most common types are: Personnel placement firms - Also known as a recruiter, a personnel placement firm will find potential candidates to interview for open positions within a company. Executive search firms - Also known as headhunters, executive search firms recruit for highly visible, senior-level management positions. Temporary Staffing firms - Sometimes called temp agencies, temporary staffing firms provide skilled employees to fill a position for a short period of time. Staffing services can perform the duties of in-house human resources (HR) personnel. For example, hiring employees through a staffing service allows an employer to hire a flexible workforce, add employees as needed, and reduce the overall cost of employee benefits. Many companies use staffing and recruiting firms when they need assistance throughout the hiring process. Firms will often begin by consulting with the client about the company's hiring needs and then work closely with the client to conduct a job analysis, which they will then use to create a job description. Using this information, the staffing and recruiting firm can then make recommendations on a recruitment strategy. There are many other areas in which staffing and recruiting firms can assist companies. Some examples include: Applicant tracking Selection New hire processing Compensation planning Onboarding Temporary staffing Reporting
