Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
If you’ve been an employer for any length of time, you may be well aware of the following.
Costs associated with replacing an employee
The cost of replacing an employee can vary depending on multiple factors such as recruitment expenses, training costs, lost productivity, and potential impact on team morale. Estimates suggest it can cost between 50-200% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them. But of course you’ve replaced employees yourself when you had to. You have done it before and you will do it again.
When you are a Job Seeker
And if you are a job seeker, you know the hassle of updating your resume, looking for jobs in your area, filling out endless applications and going through multiple interviews. You’ve done it before and you can do it again.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Now is the time to consider working with a staffing agency.
Whether you are an employee or a job seeker, here’s how a staffing agency can help.
For Employers
Working with a staffing agency can help with employment replacement by providing access to a wider network of job opportunities, offering job search support and guidance, connecting job seekers with potential employers, and providing temporary or contract work to fill employment gaps while searching for a permanent job. Additionally, staffing agencies often have expertise in specific industries and can help match job seekers with positions that align with their skills and experience.
How does working with a staffing agency help with employment replacement costs?
Working with a staffing agency can help with employment replacement costs by providing temporary or permanent staff to fill open positions. This can reduce the amount of time that a position remains vacant, which can lower the cost of recruiting and training new employees. Additionally, staffing agencies may provide benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans, which can help to retain employees and reduce turnover costs.
For job seekers
As a job seeker, your staffing agency can do a lot of the footwork for you. During your initial interview, your recruiter will get to know you and what you are looking for. He or she has access to all the available jobs near you and more that will fit your requirements.
He or she will be looking for exactly the right job that will fit your needs, so you are not wasting a lot of time going on interviews for positions you don’t really want.
A staffing agency can also provide benefits that can tide you over while they are finding the exact right position for you. Having these benefits can give you the peace of mind you need while you continue your job search to your satisfaction.
