Request samples of recruitment literature, information about employee benefits and policies, and other resources that will help you determine if the staffing service is attracting and keeping the best people available. Ask about screening, testing, interviewing and orientation policies. Identify the firm that's best for your specific needs. A staffing service can be excellent, but it may not be the best company for you. Make sure the company you're considering has the experience and ability to offer a variety of services that meet your specific and changing needs.
Some firms offer a range of skilled staff from administrative to technical or managerial.
Some firms can staff an entire project or department within your company with responsibility for budgeting and year-end results. Some firms will place temporary staff that can be transitioned into permanent employees. Whatever your needs, you should be able to find a firm with specific expertise in that area. And ideally, you should be able to find one firm that has the experience and diversity of services to meet all your requirements. Finally, when you work with temporary staff, be prepared when they show up for work.
