How Staffing Agencies Can Find Candidates with Specialized Skills

According to recent studies, Canada’s job market is getting stronger. Employers are hiring more, which is creating an increased need for talent with specialized skills. While most companies say that it’s difficult to fill those niche roles, working with a staffing agency is a proven way to solve persistent hiring challenges such as the lack of skilled applicants, the length of time it takes to hire people, attracting the best talent quickly, and meeting salary expectations.

What Staffing Agencies Do for Businesses Like Yours

Staffing agencies play a unique role in a company’s hiring process because their work is to find the ideal candidate for an open position. They are responsible for recruiting new talent on your behalf, easing the challenge of matching a qualified job seeker who has the specialized skills you need with a specific role. Whether you’re looking for full time, part time staff, temporary or permanent positions, staffing agencies help you hire the best employees based on the job and the skills that are required. This saves significant time.

Why Work with a Staffing Agency

One of the reasons you should consider working with a staffing agency is the relationship they have with a large and highly qualified talent pool. Staffing agencies specialize in maintaining a robust database of job seekers with specialized skills. Having access to a difficult-to-find asset like this can set your business apart from the rest in a competitive job market. An experienced staffing agency can act as a trusted advisor, helping you prepare for hiring challenges in your industry, taking care to keep your short and long term plans in mind, so you can focus on achieving goals and successful growth.

How Top Staffing Agencies Do It

Before launching a talent search, top staffing agencies will take the time to understand your business and ensure your specific needs are identified. They’ll educate you on market conditions nationwide, recommend strategies for attracting highly skilled candidates, and represent your employment opportunities to qualified people who are interested in them. They’ll evaluate applicants for the specialized skills you’re looking for and find the right match.

Staffing agencies work with you to flesh out an open position with what it entails, who the ideal employee is, the salary range, and other details such as work culture and company mission or values that could inform applicants of the scope of the job. The agency handles the job posting, sorts out suitable candidates, starts the interviewing process, and also screens applicants for specialized skills. Staffing agencies are often responsible for the paperwork related to the employment contract.

The Best Agency is Well-Connected in Your Industry

In addition to helping you avoid making costly hiring mistakes, staffing agencies are in business to help your business grow through the people you hire. When a staffing agency has knowledge and experience in your industry, they understand your business as well as the state of the employment market in terms of the industry.

A well-connected agency has nurtured good relationships with professionals in your industry who are not only actively seeking new opportunities, but who are always interested in options to change roles or work for a company like yours. They also have a great success rate for working with like-minded businesses and have testimonials from companies and candidates to prove it.

A well-connected agency maintains a far-reaching network of potential candidates for roles in your industry. Their database is filled with professionals who excel at in-demand skills, have relevant expertise, and possess a scope of experience that few rival. A well-connected agency is capable of finding one employee or an entire team of people with ease.

What’s more, your best agency is dedicated to understanding the details of your staffing needs. They are better equipped to identify qualified candidates with the right specialized skills who are ready for you to interview and hire. They work with you to develop hiring strategies that meet your business goals so you can achieve success.
