Evaluating Boston Staffing Firms: How to Spot the Difference Between a Good Firm and a GREAT Firm
A staffing firm can help your Boston company stay profitable and productive by connecting you with talented people, exactly when you need them. Every business wants to work with a great staffing firm, but it’s not always easy to sort through marketing and sales chatter to determine the best option. Here are tips you can use to spot the difference between a good firm and a great firm.
Good: A Staffing Company That Sends Resumes
Great: A Staffing Firm That Sends Real Candidates
Staffing firms that quickly get you qualified resumes are good, but fast isn’t always accurate. If you want to find a truly great staffing partner, work with a company that looks beyond the “traditional resume” – which can often be limiting – and focuses on the big picture: a candidate’s skills, problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills and their personality fit for the client. Firms that invest time vetting candidates and recommending people who are a true skill and cultural match, even for temporary positions, will be the firms that help you achieve your goals.
Good: A Staffing Company With Experienced Recruiters
Great: An Experienced Staffing Company That Takes a Team Approach to Hiring
It’s great to have a talented recruiter working on your job order, but what if you could access an entire team of talented and experienced recruiters? Great companies take a team approach to hiring; putting the power of their entire company behind your search. When recruiters share candidates and opportunities, you have a better chance of being matched with someone who will truly be effective in your role.
Good: A Staffing Firm That Fills Orders
Great: A Staffing Firm That Builds Relationships
A staffing firm that fills orders is good, but a great staffing company will get to know you and your business. The better your relationship with your staffing firm, the more accurate and efficient they will become over time. Always dig deep to find out whether a potential staffing firm is truly interested in building a long-term, strategic partnership.
Good: A Staffing Firm With Offices in Boston
Great: A Staffing Firm Rooted in Boston
When trying to find a staffing partner in Boston, you’ll find plenty of national firms with a local presence. While these companies are good at what they do, they don’t all have sufficient local expertise to help you find exactly who you need, when you need them. A staffing firm that is based in Boston has the local roots, relationships and market knowledge to ensure the best outcomes for your business.
