why do businesses use staffing agencies?

Because they're cheap b*stards.\n1. They pay someone else to do the recruiting (saves them $).\n2. They pay someone else to do the background checks (again, saves the corporate pirates more $).\n3. They pay a lower wage (money, money, money!)\n4. They don't have to pay benefits, usually (monnnnneeeeyyy!!)

I think that consumer demand has a lot to do with it. In general, consumers want services offered 24/7 and for companies to try to meet that demand they have to employ a staff that can work flexible/rotating schedules.\n\nHave you ever considered going into the child care profession... generally you have a pretty set schedule and you could put your child in the program and possibly spend time with him/her while at work. Some child care agencies offer a discount to employees as an incentive.

let me just ask this, why exactly do we need to do a job when we have to pay to get it. We do a job for a payment , not by giving a payment.\nThere's this site Directfreelance.com , this also lists hoards of jobs but you have to cough up money to see the recruiter's details.\nLet me just say - these paid sites are scams.

Small to medium advertising agencies use freelancers all the time, especially if you are a subject matter expert. \n\nThe same goes for medium to large businesses that have in-house marketing departments. They can get overloaded, for example, during trade show season for their industry. Learn the cycles of the businesses you will be approaching.\n\nThe problem dealing with small businesses directly is that they typically lack marketing experience and they will make tactical decisions without a sound communications strategy. \n\nDevelop your own promotional mailer and make it really distinctive. Send to production managers in agencies (they keep the list of trusted resources) and marketing managers in corporate environments. Follow up with calls and a parallel email campaign.\n\nGood luck. You can do it.

They also have been known to do payroll, keep track of the company's books, and generally take care of the finances of the company.  Since you're asking, I'm guessing you're talking more entry level.  You might be looking to basically help add up numbers (e.g. take care of time cards) and other misc things similar to that.

The employers are paying those agencies.  Are you prepared to pay a high commission to a head hunter?  Like 10-20% of your first year salary?  That's what they get to find you a job.  It's okay if they work for the employer, they still want to see you get the job, so work with them and that way you aren't paying that commission and you are still hearing about jobs.

It is often when many perspective employers desire to get applicants to come and try to find employees who would be good for their company/business. The same screening guidelines are used, as would be for any employer. They want to offer positions for those they feel would be qualified to fill the job opening. It has to be a good fit on both sides. What can the business offer you and what can you offer them.

A lot of them. Larger companies in particular. Many insurance companies and investment management companies do. The idea is to make their employees more qualified since those companies tend to keep their employees longer.

Employment agencies are really helpful.  I am just like you looking for a real job. Got my Associates degree too. It depends on your resume and the skills you have.  They will ask you what kind of work are you looking for. You also have to bring in references if you have never used an agency before. Some agencies require references.  They will test you to see what your typing speed is, your knowledge of Word and Excel. After you are finished with all the tests, you will talk to one of the recruiters to determine if they can have an assignment that matches your skill level and the kind of work you have been doing. Some agencies require you to call in once a week for your availabilty. After you finish registering with one, find others that have what you are looking for in terms of employment.  One agency wouldn't be able to survive these days. In order to keep working, register for about 5-7 at least. That way if one agency don't have an assignment, another one will. If all the agencies you registered with don't have work, continue looking. Something is bound to come up. Good Luck.

They're cheaper. Some have really talented people on the staff. And best of all, they show you more attention and are determined to please you.

apparently there is a theory for change..\n\nNoone likes change at first .. \n\nThey say you ask for suggestions from the two team leaders to reslove the staffing problem.. People feel better when they are involved in a process\n\nThen you sell it as being a trial of an idea not a permanent change...

Time consuming\nErrors likely\nCan be costly (paying someone to do the accounting)\nWaste of cabinets

It makes it easier to track information and to send and receive information. It allows you to streamline several jobs.

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

i'm sure you've already thought of this, but since we already know the performance of a current employee, it is much more safe to retrain them than to hire a new employee.  everyone who's been involved in hiring knows that no matter how good someone looks on paper, and even in interviews, in the end hiring is a crap shoot.  \n\nin addition, giving a current employee new skillls and responsibilities shows confidence in their abilities which will motivate them to perform better and be loyal to the company.  by showing employees that good performance equals personal success they will all strive to achieve more.

from the owners side training is very expensive so it is considered great when someone already is at least partially trained or experienced.  To show someone that you really want to work and are worth that time and money expense you need to be able to show them that you are very hard working and reliable even before you necessarily get an interview.  Giving a resume in person to the person who is hiring is a huge help it lets you show them that you want to work even if the paper you hand them only has school and hobbies to let them know a little about who you are.  To be willing to work any hours any where just to get a foot in the door can lead to contacts and possible far more interesting opportunities
