Definitions Of Staffing Services

A staffing firm finds qualified task prospects and brings them together with potential companies for the function of establishing a “direct hire” or “permanent” employment relationship. “Contingency” charges are paid by the customer when the staff member is hired.

Human Resource Consulting

A staffing firm advises customers on a broad variety of labor force services, consisting of methods and services for optimizing staff and levels, staff member efficiency, training, and recruitment and retention.

Long-Term and Contract Help

A staffing firm hires employees and assigns them to support or supplement a customer’s labor force on longer-term projects. Workers may be utilized by the staffing company or appointed as independent specialists.

Managed Service Provider

An MSP is an on-site supplier engaged to handle all elements of a client’s short-term and agreement staffing services, including advising or choosing staffing firms and vendor management systems. An MSP might or might not provide its own staffing services, and may utilize several or no VMS companies.

Managed Services

A staffing company presumes full responsibility for operating a particular client function for which the staffing company has functional know-how (e.g., call center, mailroom, information processing center, cafeteria, landscaping, guards, upkeep, janitorial services) on a continuing basis. This is typically performed under a “declaration of work” plan instead of in terms of hourly labor.

Outplacement

A staffing firm offers career transition services, consisting of profession therapy, testing, training, interview training, and recommendations, to assist a customer’s separating workers.

Payrolling

A staffing firm puts on its payroll workers recruited or employed by the customer. Payrolling is differentiated from PEO plans because the staff members usually are on short-term projects and make up a little proportion of the customer’s labor force.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO or Employee Leasing)

A business positions all or many of its work force on the payroll of a staffing company, and the staffing company assumes responsibility for payroll, advantages, and other human resource functions.

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

Retained Search Services

Retained search services are typically for management or executive positions in which the staffing company charges a retainer (upfront fee) to carry out the look for a customer. Because a retained 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 hires and evaluates employees and appoints them to support or supplement a client’s labor force to keep completely staffed during hectic times, gain unique expertise or staff unique projects, or fill temporary jobs. Workers might be utilized by the staffing firm or designated as independent contractors.

Temporary to Hire

A staffing company worker works for a customer for a trial period during which both the employee and the client think about establishing a “long-term” employment relationship.

Vendor Management Systems

A VMS is a Web-based software tool that customers utilize to acquire and handle items and services, consisting of temporary and agreement personnel. These tools are offered by third-party VMS suppliers along with staffing companies that have their own technology platform.
