Definitions Of Staffing Services

A staffing firm finds certified task candidates and brings them together with potential employers for the function of developing a “direct hire” or “irreversible” work relationship. “Contingency” costs are paid by the customer when the staff member is hired.

Personnel Consulting

A staffing company advises clients on a broad variety of work force services, consisting of methods and services for enhancing staff and skill levels, employee efficiency, training, and recruitment and retention.

Long-Term and Contract Help

A staffing firm hires workers and designates them to support or supplement a customer’s work force on longer-term tasks. Workers might be used by the staffing firm or appointed as independent professionals.

Managed Service Provider

An MSP is an on-site provider engaged to handle all aspects of a client’s short-lived and agreement staffing services, consisting of suggesting or choosing staffing companies and vendor management systems. An MSP might or may not supply its own staffing services, and might use several or no VMS service providers.

Managed Services

A staffing company assumes full responsibility for operating a specific client function for which the staffing company has functional competence (e.g., call center, mailroom, information processing center, cafeteria, landscaping, guards, maintenance, janitorial services) on a continuing basis. This is often performed under a “statement of work” arrangement rather than in regards to hourly labor.

Outplacement

A staffing firm supplies career shift services, including profession therapy, testing, training, interview training, and referrals, to assist a customer’s separating workers.

Payrolling

A staffing company puts on its payroll staff members recruited or hired by the client. Payrolling is identified from in that the workers normally are on momentary tasks and comprise a little proportion of the client’s work force.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO or Employee Leasing)

A business positions all or the majority of its work force on the payroll of a staffing company, and the staffing firm presumes responsibility for payroll, benefits, and other human resource functions.

Recruitment process outsourcing is a kind of business procedure outsourcing where a client transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external company, such as a staffing firm. An RPO firm might supply its own or presume the client’s staff, innovation, methods, and reporting. RPO service providers manage the whole recruitment procedure, from style through results.

Retained Search Services

Retained search services are usually for management or executive positions in which the staffing company charges a retainer (in advance charge) to perform the look for a client. Because a kept search is done on an agreement basis, the customer pays the costs for the search services no matter whether a hire results.

Temporary Help

A staffing company recruits and screens workers and assigns them to support or supplement a client’s labor force to keep totally staffed throughout busy times, gain special expertise or staff special tasks, or fill short-term vacancies. Workers might be employed by the staffing firm or designated as independent contractors.

Temporary to Hire

A staffing firm staff member works for a client for a trial period throughout which both the employee and the customer think about establishing a “permanent” employment relationship.

Vendor Management Systems

A VMS is a Web-based software tool that customers use to purchase and manage products and services, including momentary and contract personnel. These tools are supplied by third-party VMS service providers as well as staffing companies that have their own technology platform.
