9 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Staffing Agency

Home Blog

In order to establish and expand your workforce, how can you make the most of your relationship with a staffing agency? To guarantee that the agency can handle your employment needs in a timely way, be honest about your aims and objectives.

You should also look into their company's reputation and testimonials to verify any industry buzz as to what their clientele thinks of them.

If you are considering agreeing to a professional collaboration in order to swiftly fill your full-time, temporary, or freelance jobs, here are 13 questions that Infinity Staffing Group's HR specialists believe every business should address in order to find a suitable fit for their firm.


Is the agency specialized in your field?

Are they specialists in your field? How long does it take them to fill positions? What is the percentage of candidates and clients that stay with them? More notably, what is their track record? They are an expansion of your image because they will be the initial point of contact for a prospect. The applicant's experience is crucial in a tough job market. Do not collaborate with a company that has a poor reputation.


Are the recruiters in touch with the hiring managers?

A genuine engagement with a recruiting agency starts with the agency learning about your company's values. The objective is to locate a long-term team member rather than a momentary hire. Agencies that maintain contact with hiring managers often have a better understanding of the company's workforce needs.


Is the talent pool inclusive and distinct?

If you choose to take a close look at vendors with a diverse pipeline, you'll be doing your acquisitions department a huge service. Additionally, ensure that agreements are explicit, reasonable, and transparent. Check the small print to ensure you aren't being overcharged to recruit applicants.


Is Your Company's Tone Well-Understood?

Companies should prioritize employer branding. This is so that the agency, which will act as an extension of your business, can establish your brand's image in the minds of potential employees. As a result, you must guarantee that your company is being marketed correctly. Talent networks are excessively intertwined, and an employer's image is extremely important.


Are they equipped with the necessary tools to find top talent?

You've put a lot of effort into building a company deserving of the expertise you're after. Be really cautious when it comes to the spread of your company through the hiring of personnel from any third-party vendor.


How Fast Are They?

When working with a recruiting agency, several factors must be considered. I believe that staffing businesses are a fantastic option for assisting with high-volume, quick employment needs. To fill a certain role, consider that you may require their knowledge in a specific market.


Have you thoroughly investigated the image and reputation of the agency?

Think about the agency's reputation and brand before deciding whether to collaborate with it. Are they delivering a respectable service because their clientele say so, or are they truly giving excellent services? Check their internet reviews and ask for recommendations. Take the time to study, examine, and reflect on your company's needs before partnering with a hiring agency that fits your plan.


Is The business-Agency Alliance Coordinated?

When dealing with employment agencies, procedural transparency is critical. The agency, our organization, or the allocated employees should not be surprised. Being on the same page with the process helps you and the agency placement personnel to focus on matching talents and expertise with critical job responsibilities inside your business, resulting in positive matches that lead to permanent employment.


Are You Being Mindful of Their Authenticity?

Since integrity is a crucial element and the cornerstone of leadership, you should ask them questions about it. In order to find the best people with integrity who can be developed into leaders for the growth of the firm, I would anticipate that staffing firms will serve as the main filters.
