IT Staffing: What Is It and How Can It Help You?

In light of all of the changes in the economy, many firms are laying off personnel in the IT field or freezing hiring.

IT staffing presents several unique challenges across various firms due to the profession's fast-paced and highly technical nature. Most organizations are now shrinking but still have work that needs to be done.

An IT staffing company can meet the long or short-term goals of the project and client environment to implement the optimized solution, whether it is placing a single project advisor, staffing a full-time/permanent position, or supplying a company with a sizable team of premised IT professionals for a long-term project. IT staffing services relieve many HR departments of the strain of identifying and screening hundreds of applications.

The Benefits of Using an IT Staffing Service

Working with a staffing business has several advantages. Here are a few to remember:

Quick Hiring

The employment market has evolved dramatically in recent years, and the hiring process is now lengthier and more challenging than in previous years.

"Great talent becomes harder to find, and it becomes extremely time-consuming for managers to review résumés and conduct interviews, all while still being responsible for their day-to-day operations," Matthew Rowles, business development manager at staffing firm Kavaliro, said. "Turning to a trusted staffing partner can save time and money. A staffing firm can prescreen and qualify candidates to ensure the manager is always interviewing candidates that are a fit for the role."

Flexibility

According to AJ Brustein, CEO and co-founder of on-demand employment platform Wonolo, many organizations are delaying recruiting for full-time roles for various reasons.

"Companies are trying to be more productive and only have workers when they are absolutely needed," Brustein told Business News Daily. "They need to find ways to make sure every dollar they spend is going to help the business. Temp staffing allows them to only have people when they need them, and those people are being productive."

Risk Reduction

Being an employer entails a slew of legal obligations, such as paying certain taxes, providing insurance coverage, and adhering to labor rules. Hiring staff entails significant financial and operational risks, particularly if someone needs to be dismissed or abruptly quits. When you hire a staffing business, the agency accepts many risks on your behalf.

Jason Leverant, chief operating officer of national staffing franchise AtWork Group, said, "Staffing firms are generally considered the employer of record when it comes to the temporary associates that are placed, so … [staffing firm clients] appreciate the fact that, for the most part, the staffing firm maintains full responsibility for the employees while they are on assignment."
