How Businesses Benefit from Working with a Staffing Company

Your workforce is always changing; people take vacations, call in sick, leave unexpectedly, or business picks up and suddenly you’re shorthanded. If your business is struggling to find employees, it might be time to consider working with a staffing company.

Here are 3 ways partnering with a staffing company helps you hire smarter.

Avoid the cost of bad hires

Many employers think they can’t afford the services of a staffing company, but what about a bad hire? According to the Society for Human Resource Management, the national average cost per full-time hire is nearly $4,700. Considering the lost productivity, many employers estimate the total cost to hire a new employee can be four times the position’s salary.

At ALTRES, employers are presented with placement options and rates, with no upfront cost or obligation to hire candidates that are presented to them. Additionally, hourly bill rates include employee wages, medical insurance, workers’ compensation coverage, temporary disability insurance, unemployment insurance, and employer taxes. This ensures transparent, predictable pricing without any hidden costs. 

Speed up your hiring process

Finding the right people takes time, which is especially difficult if you’re running a business on top of recruiting for a new position. Crafting job ads, screening candidates, and drafting offers takes a considerable amount of time and effort. Partnering with a staffing company gives you access to industry experts who work on your behalf to meet the specific requirements of your role. And if a candidate isn’t the right fit, they work quickly to find a suitable replacement. 

Tap into a deep network of candidates

ALTRES recruits year-round and has done so for over 50 years, providing employers access to a large pool of qualified and pre-screened candidates. One of the common myths is that staffing companies only provide entry-level candidates. At ALTRES, we work with candidates with a broad range of experience and can serve clients in various industries such as general labor, skilled trades, non-profit, legal, finance, engineering, tech and healthcare.
