Unemployed and looking for office jobs? Partnering with a staffing agency might be just what you need to kickstart your job search and find meaningful employment that you’ll love.
Staffing agencies work for client companies that hire them to find top talent just like you for their open positions. If you haven’t considered applying to a staffing firm, now’s the time to do so.
Here’s why working with a staffing agency might be a better option for you rather than going at it alone.
All of the Legwork Disappears
Let’s be honest. You have better things to do than continuously look at job boards for new opportunities, to re-write your cover letter and resume, to research potential employers, and to follow up with hiring managers. These are some of the most tedious aspects of searching for a job.
When you work with a staffing agency to find office jobs, all of this time-consuming work will disappear. Your recruiter will handle it all for you—for free.
More Job Opportunities
Did you know that only approximately 20% of open positions are advertised? If you’re only looking at advertised job postings on online job boards, you’re doing yourself a disservice. You could be missing out on the perfect job opportunity that you never even knew existed.
The hidden job market exists. And working with a staffing firm can help you gain access to it. Recruiters often work exclusively with major employers to find top talent. Sending your resume to a recruiter might be the only way to have a shot at great office jobs that aren’t advertised.
Find the Perfect Job
Many office jobs are similar. Data entry, filing, answering phones, making appointments. It can be hard to differentiate among all of your options. How can you know which one is really the best job for you?
Recruiters can help cut through the clutter and match you to jobs that you’ll love and that you’ll succeed in. They won’t place you in jobs that you can’t handle or that you don’t have the skills or experience for. They won’t send you to a job that they know you’ll be miserable in.
They want to ensure that both candidates and clients are happy with the placement. And they know how important company culture is. They’ll ensure that you’re a good cultural match to the company you’ll work for.
Training
Starting a new job can be stressful. You can feel uneasy about what you have to do and how you’re supposed to do it. You don’t want to just be thrown to the wolves, forced to fend for yourself. That’s a recipe for disaster.
When you work with a staffing firm, you’ll get all of the onboarding, orientation, and training you need before your first day. Your recruiters will ensure that you know your roles and responsibilities, that you understand the company’s unique processes, systems, and procedures. And that you have the skills you need to succeed.
You’ll be ready and confident to start your new job, so you’ll be able to better manage your first day jitters.
Temp or Permanent Work Available
Many job seekers mistakenly believe that staffing agencies are only good as a last resort when they can’t find permanent work—that they only offer temporary assignments. Though it’s true that many companies focus solely on temp placements, others are hired by clients to find permanent employees as well. So whether you’re looking for the freedom, flexibility, experience, and other benefits that come with temp workor if you need a way to get your foot in the door, a staffing firm can help. If you’re looking for the security and stability that come with a permanent job, a staffing agency can alsohelp.
