Companies looking to find top talent in the current job market environment have their work cut out for them. The unemployment rate is at historic lows the United State has not seen in 50 years. As a result, skilled employees are in higher demand across all parts of the country, and Northern Nevada is no different.
It can be more challenging to recruit in an environment in which employment is so robust, as there can be stiff competition for top candidates. Many may be already employed and content with their position.
A Reno staffing agency can help employers find the best-qualified potential employees, not only in tight employment markets like the current one, but throughout the economic life cycle. Here are three reasons why they can help.
Staffing agencies, especially those that work in a particular geographic area or employment niche, have deeper networks than many individual companies. They have past relationships with candidates, so they know the qualified candidate pool in the region. As a result, they can reach passive candidates (those who aren’t actively looking for new jobs) that companies may not know about.
They are also in a position to hear word-of-mouth about people who are potential candidates, such as friends or relatives of past candidates.
Staffing agencies know the industries they work in. They know where qualified candidates are, and where they come from. They understand if your business niche has seasonal needs. They understand if climate and geography play a role in whether candidates are likely to be top employees or not.
They understand the skills and qualifications needed in your industry. As a result, they can develop a customized staffing solution that benefits your business.
Recruiting issues can cost businesses both time and money. First, of course, the recruiting process can take months if a company does it on its own. Drafting a job description, sorting through applications, interviewing, and checking references all can take a considerable amount of time. Plus, it’s time that hiring managers often need to take from schedules packed with other crucial tasks.
Staffing agencies can remove the time burden. They can help with job description development, screening resumes and applications, pre-interviewing, and checking references. They can also move full speed ahead, in a way companies may not be able to because of the needs of their main business.
Hiring always has costs, but delays in hiring can cost even more money. While a position remains unfilled, a company’s productivity can suffer. In addition, if a hire doesn’t work out, the company has to go back to the drawing board to hire someone, which can be an additional drain on productivity. A Reno staffing agency can help you find the right candidates quicker!
