Why Small Businesses Should Use Staffing Agencies

Small businesses can benefit a lot from a staffing agency. However, most small business owners don’t try it. They’d rather invest their own time and effort into finding the right person. This inefficiency can really cut into productivity and your bottom line. Instead, spend your time more wisely, find a temporary hire with the skills you need, and be ready when opportunity knocks.

Be Ready to Take Advantage of Opportunities

Small businesses must be nimble. It’s a cutthroat world out there. When an opportunity falls into your lap, be ready to move on it. This often means hiring more workers or hiring for a new skill set at a moment’s notice. Some opportunities you can prepare for, like the busy season at your company; others you can’t prepare for, like a sudden trade show invitation. When something amazing happens, can you pivot in time to take advantage of it? A staffing agency can help you.

Spend Your Time Wisely

Small business owners work themselves to the bone trying to do it all. You’re the accountant, the receptionist, the investment team, the sales rep, and the office manager—and that’s just Monday. No matter what you’re doing for your business, there’s always something else you could be doing. Rather than spending your time combing through resumes and reading too much into every comma on an application, spend your time making better choices. Let a staffing agency do what they do best, and you can go back to why you started this business in the first place.

Find a Specific Skill

There are plenty of great people out there looking for work. Sometimes, you don’t need to find the perfect person who will fit your company culture and be your new best friend. Sometimes, you need the hire who has one specific skill, and that’s all you need. Staffing agencies can find the best people with the skills you actually need—even if those skills aren’t your own area of expertise.

Small businesses should lean on staffing agencies more not less. Instead of spending all of your own time and energy searching through resume after resume, let a staffing agency do the heavy lifting. You can get back to what you do best. Your new hire can get started on the job.
