If you’ve ever considered working with a staffing agency, but were unsure about it for any reason, my hope is that these posts clear up any of your doubts.
Do staffing agencies only hire temporary employees?
Not at all. Staffing agencies hire for a broad range of job types. The length or duration of the job depends on the type. Jobs at staffing agencies can last days, weeks, months, or years. Many companies use employment staffing agencies to help them screen the employees before they make a long-term commitment to hire them permanently.
Is there room for advancement?
Of course. If you do good work, the sky is the limit! Keep in mind the skills you acquire while working with a staffing agency don’t just go away. They will help you long-term whether your goal is to advance within the organization you work for, or to climb the corporate ladder.
So staffing jobs are real jobs with real companies?
Staffing agency jobs are as real as jobs get. You can find work with local, national, and even global organizations via staffing and gain experience at a variety of companies and job opportunities that you otherwise may not have had access to. You can and will work with excellent companies. Over 1/3 of companies use staffing. If you’re confused as to where to go, staffing can be a great way to develop your job skills and discover for yourself what type of work best suits you.
