Job Seekers Today Should Try A Staffing Company

Most job applications today are submitted online. In some ways this makes the process easier and in other ways it makes the process more difficult. Electronic resumes and cover letters are easier to trash than they are to read. Unless there is something about your resume that really makes it stands apart from the others, your chances of getting hired based on an online application are not good. To get noticed by employers today, you need a staffing company.

Hiring new employees has become an onerous task for employers. One way they have found to lighten the hiring load is to shift a good portion of the process to staffing agencies.

Your agency is your liaison to prospective employers. Without that liaison, you have no connection. It is extremely difficult to get an interview based on an application submitted online. Your agency can and will get you job interviews.

When an agency hears about a vacancy they will look at their roster of clients, job seekers, and see if there is a good fit. If they find a good candidate, the agency will arrange an interview. If they do not find a good candidate, the agency will simply post the job online with some of the many search engines.

If you have registered with an agency you will probably have an interview for the open position. If you are not registered with an agency but respond to a job posted on a search engine, you probably will not even get an email confirming that your application was received.

There are three different ways to get hired through an employment agency. One, you are hired as a temporary worker for a short period of time. Two, you are hired as a temporary to permanent, also called temp to hire. In this situation the employer will consider your work performance during the temporary period, and if pleased with your performance the employer will offer you a permanent position. The employment agency calls these assignments. You are actually working for the staffing agency, and your paycheck comes from the agency.

Third is the direct hire or permanent hire. This means the agency acted as a recruiter and you are a permanent employee of the company. The company pays you, and your connection to the agency has achieved its goal.

Employment agencies are designed to find and fill job vacancies for mostly entry level positions. There is an agreement between the agency and the job seeker. Search engines are nothing more than an electronic bulletin board. Employment agencies give you an advantage over other applicants.
