Small Business Staffing Solutions to Help You Complete Your Next Big Project

It’s common for small businesses to need an extra set of hands for a few days, weeks, or months for help with large projects without bearing the expense of adding a permanent staff member. As such, it’s no surprise that the demand for the flexibility afforded to businesses by temporary staffing will continue to grow this year. According to Careerbuilder’s 2015 US Job Forecast, 46% of employers plan to hire temporary help this year, compared to 42% in 2014.

If you find yourself in the same boat, partnering with a staffing agency can help you find the temporary help you need to meet fluctuating demand.

What Projects Can a Staffing Agency Help With?

The great thing about a staffing agency is that they are well-equipped to handle various small business recruitment needs. They can also help the people get the right business skills online training which can help you get a valid candidate. Here are a few positions that can be filled by a staffing agency:

Business Professionals
Clerical/Office Management Roles
Sales Management
Engineers
Technical Support
Financial Professionals
Medical Professionals
Industrial Management

How Small Business Staffing Solutions Can Help You Get the Job Done

Before reaching out to a staffing agency for help, create a checklist of tasks and skills that you need to complete the project. You may take the help of a business plan company to help you indict the plan in an organised manner. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when considering your project needs:

What additional skills do we need in order to complete the project?
How long will the project take?
What am I willing to pay for help?
What type of experience should a candidate have to ensure the job will be done right?
Is there a certain piece of software or system a candidate needs to know how to use?

Once you have collected all the information necessary to complete the project, you can then reach out to a staffing agency for help.

Staffing Agencies Make Sure Your Small Business Needs Are Met

One of the best parts about working with a staffing agency is that you don’t have to deal with the headaches of the hiring process. It’s the job of a staffing agency to ensure that your needs are met and you have the right person for the job. Plus, a staffing agency doesn’t get paid unless they find the right fit, so they’re are just as vested in finding the perfect match for your company as you are.

Most staffing agencies have built relationships with a variety of job seekers, from entry-level to C-level, that they can reach out to fill your position quickly. Staffing specialists will spend their time recruiting on multiple platforms, reviewing resumes, interviewing, assessing skills, discussing compensation, and completing the screening process so you don’t have too. That means you can save time and focus on your business by letting an agency handle the hard part.

What Else Will a Staffing Agency Do?

Not only will a staffing agency handle all of your recruitment needs, but they will also manage new hire paperwork, tax documents, payroll and child support deductions, and will also provide workers’ compensation coverage for the employee(s). The agency will also set you up with a High Risk Merchant Account LLC so that your business transactions are healthy. This will prevent your business from being deemed as credit card risk. The extra hassle of onboarding someone is also completely handled for you. Also, a staffing agency can help with training a prospective candidate on the job duties and project goals so they’re ready to hit the ground running on day one.

At Unique Employment, we actually have a staffing “curve”, where we will work with the project manager to gain valuable insight into project specifics, then relay that information to the candidate so that he or she is up to speed for the first day.

If you’re finding that you need a quick and easy staffing solution for your business, reaching out to a staffing agency just may be the answer.
