Easy tips on finding the right agency for all your staffing needs
by Gibbs Consulting HR Search Firms BostonAre you giving thought to hire
the services of a staffing agency? With the steep competition in the market,
locating one will not take much effort, but how can you be assured that the
agency you opt for will render an excellent quality of service? Here are a few
things you should look for when selecting an agency.
Conduct a bit of
research
The
first thing you need to do is obtain a list of agencies near you. For example,
if your business is in Boston, get hold of a list of companies offering
services of HR recruiting in Boston. You
can turn to Google for that purpose. Once you come across a relevant company,
visit their website (if they have one) and look for the services they offer.
The goal here is to make certain that the agency specializes in staffing
professionals in your line of work.
Get a quotation
After
you have gathered the necessary information, it is time to call each agency and
get a rate quote. See to it that all charges are made known to you and there
are no hidden fees. You may naturally be drawn in the direction of agencies
with low bill rates but just because an agency is cheap does not imply that
they will be able to offer the level of service you need. On the other hand, be
on your guard for agencies quoting enormously steep rates.
Billing terms and
agreements
Once
you are satisfied with the fees, look over the agency's contract and billing/invoicing
terms. Agencies normally bill their clients on a weekly basis, so check to make
sure that you can make a monthly payment without the risk of being charged for
late payment.
Obtain a sample
contract
Before
you make a final decision, ask the HR staffing agency for
a sample contract. Read the contract carefully or better yet, have someone in
your legal department review it. In your selection process, it might be a good
idea to consider the selection of a staffing firm that has moderate bill rates
and a fair buyout fee, so you may want to pay specific attention to those
areas.
Selecting
a staffing agency that not only meets your needs but also provides your
organization with qualified professionals will prove to be beneficial for your
business without the nuisances generally associated with your business's
selection process.
