All of these businesses—whether they go by the names of employment placement agencies, recruiting firms, or creative staffing agencies—serve essentially the same purpose: they assist employers in finding the best individuals for a particular job position.
In this approach, the job seeker does not hire the employment agency; rather, someone more akin to a career counselor would be recruited. Instead, the employer uses employment placement agencies to identify candidates since, for many businesses, it is quicker and less expensive to pay someone else to do this than to try to do it themselves.
How then can employment agencies assist job seekers if they genuinely serve employers? They do so in a variety of ways.
A small business' hiring process takes time to complete. Reviewing applications, conducting interviews, and setting pay demands valuable time from a business owner's routine responsibilities, which may ultimately harm the company in the long run. This is especially true for small business owners who are already stretched thin.
This is why some employers cooperate with staffing firms, who by supplying individuals for unfilled positions, significantly reduce the time and effort required to find candidates. A staffing service finds candidates for companies looking to fill certain positions.
