Obtaining Permanent Placement Through a Staffing Agency

Obtaining Permanent Placement Through a Staffing Agencypermanent placement

If you aren’t working with a staffing agency to find your next job then you are probably missing out on several job listings that aren’t being advertised through traditional means. There are several reasons why companies don’t post all of their open positions. It could be because of confidentiality/replacement reasons or simply because they understand that working with a competent staffing agency will get the position filled much faster. One of the main benefits of using a staffing firm to locate your next job is that you can be considered for multiple positions that were not available to find on your own.

There are a few different ways to obtain permanent placement through a staffing agency. For example, you can start out with temporary or contract work. Many companies will start by employing a new hire on a temporary basis in order to make sure that they are a good fit. If the company likes your work, they might offer you a permanent position. Contract work allows you to see if you enjoy the role that you are given in a company without actually being committed to it. These types of positions are often listed as temp-to-perm, meaning that there is a potential for the job to turn into a permanent role, however you are not required to take the position if you do not want to.

Staffing firms that offer direct placement fill permanent positions for companies. Companies hire these types of staffing agencies to find top talent to fill a permanent position. The staffing agency locates the best candidates for the client’s individual needs. When searching for a staffing firm to help you with permanent placement, be sure to choose one that has proven results and good reviews.

Even if you aren’t actively looking for a job it’s a good idea to keep active profiles with a respectable staffing firm. Maintaining good relationships with a staffing agency makes it possible to check in when you are ready to update your professional goals.

Making Sense Out of Job Listings

Making Sense Out of Job ListingsMaking sense out of job listings

Job listings are full of terms such as contract, temporary, temp to perm and direct hire. Each of these positions has their own unique benefits to both job seekers and the companies that offer them. However, many job seekers do not fully understand the difference between the types of employment being offered. Although some companies might vary slightly on how they define these terms, the following definitions should help you make sense out of the positions offered on most job boards.

Contract
Contract typically refers to a position that is not permanent and has a specific time frame attached to it. This type of work usually does not come with benefits. Contract work is offered when a company needs to complete a project or needs to cover a permanent employee’s leave of absence.

Temporary
Temporary positions can range from a few hours to full time work for up to one year. With temporary work there is no guarantee of the position becoming a permanent position with benefits. However, temporary positions frequently extend past the set end date, turn into temp to perm positions or open the door to a full time job later on. A temporary employee is typically considered an employee of the staffing agency.

Temp to Perm
Temp to perm positions are offered when an employer would like a full time employee but cannot commit to a permanent position immediately. During the temp to hire period, the employee is considered an employee of the staffing agency. Companies seeking temp to hire candidates through respectable staffing agencies are sincere in their desire to hire permanent staff members. This type of position can be a great benefit to both job seekers and the companies that offer them.

Direct Hire
With direct hire positions, companies utilize a staffing agency to locate talent then hire them directly. Direct hire positions are permanent positions, usually full time with benefits. Instead of being an employee of the staffing agency, candidates offered a direct hire position go directly on the company payroll.
