Staffing Agencies And Small Businesses

So I'm here to talk to all the small companies out there who I think have a real need to utilize staffing and recruitment firms in their employment strategy. I actually have three reasons why I think using an employment firm makes sense for small businesses out there. My name is Aaron Grossman and I'm the president and founder of Alliance Staffing Solutions. Alliance Staffing Solutions is a minority owned employment firm that offers specialized staffing services regionally while offering recruitment expertise nationwide. The first reason I want to talk today is about cost control. As we all know, small companies don't have the resources or real need to hire a full-time recruiter, especially if you're only hiring one, two, three people a year. What I would consider is working with a recruitment firm like Alliance to be somewhat of a shared services model. Where as you might utilize us for those one or two hires per year, pay a small fee, and actually save money from hiring a permanent person. Another thing about working with a recruitment firm that makes sense is expertise. As we know, as we work with small companies on a regular basis, the small companies, they're working on their core responsibilities to help drive business profitability. They are typically not interviewing people all day for the one or two hiring needs they may have a year. Well, working with a recruiting firm that has expertise in maybe a specific area you are looking for that's what they do all day. So they interview, they have actually methodologies and processes around that so they can find top talent very quickly much quicker than a small company that may not have expertise and they can align that person with your company an a fairly consistent basis. Finally another strategy is the temp-to-hire strategy, is working with a staffing firm. Staffing firms typically can stage, basically, an evaluation period for potential employees you might want to consider for hire. While they're, that staging evaluation period, staff firms take on all the responsibilities including payroll, payroll taxes, workers compensation, unemployment, basically providing small companies with little risk, and that gives you time to figure out does this person, are they able to do the job? Are they able to fit in, from a cultural perspective, into your company? So I think, you know, working with a staffing recruitment firm makes sense, especially if you're a small firm.

Again, my name is Aaron Grossman I'm the president of Alliance Staffing Solutions, hoping you'll make it a great day.
