With the current instability of the labour market, many job seekers are looking for advice on services to consider when looking for employment.

One service provider you may want to look into during your job search is the use of a staffing or placement company.

When it comes to using a staffing company, there are 100-plus staffing companies within the city to choose from and this can be a very tiresome task.

Although there are a number of staffing companies of different sizes, it is important to keep in mind that not all staffing companies are alike.

You want to choose a company based on your own criteria and research prior to making any decisions.

Here are a few recommendations we have collectively gathered from staff and job seekers to consider when conducting your search for the right staffing company:

Image
How are you greeted when calling or meeting with the staffing company? Is the recruiter professional, polite and friendly?

Company Profile
What is the size and industry focus of the agency? How long have they been in existence? Will they assist with obtaining work visas and other required paperwork?

Specialization
What is the company’s area(s) of specialization? Who are some of their clients?

Demographics
Do their contract workers fit the demographics of what you’re looking for?

Process
What are their business practices like? What is their success ratio in placing candidates? Are they a contingency or retained search firm?

Additional services
What additional products, services and training do they offer (resume revision and writing, job interview coaching, etc.) candidates? What do they do to prepare candidates for clients?

Partners
Do they work collaboratively with other agencies? If so, who are they?

Choosing a staffing company that meets your needs is not easy task. Contacting all of them in your area would be too time consuming. They beset and truest method to begin the search is through referrals or researching staffing company websites online. Remember, you are not limited or obligated to have only one staffing company represent you; so get out there and introduce yourself to various companies.

Having various companies represent you will increase your exposure in the market and better your chances of landing a job interview.
