March 12, 2020

Are you in the job market? Have you been looking for a while or are you just now starting the process? In any case, there are a few ways you can improve your job search and see results faster. Have you considered working with a staffing agency? Many people forget that this is a great option to help you find a job. Here are a few ways a staffing agency can help you find your next opportunity.

Fast Time to Hire

When you’re unemployed the worst feeling is to stay unemployed. While you want to find the right job, you also don’t want to spend months on end looking for it. That’s where a recruiter with a staffing firm can help. They have networks with local companies all ready to hire. They can match your skill with an open position and get you working quickly. And if the right permanent position isn’t available right away, they could help with short term work.

Flexible Schedules

Temp work is great for a number of reasons, too. If you crave a flexible schedule, for now or throughout your career, then working short-term projects with a staffing agency may be a great opportunity. When you become a reliable resource for a recruiter, they will be more likely to give you the first call for major projects with their best clients. You complete the assignment and then you can see what’s next.

Resume Builder

Working with a staffing agency will also give you a chance to try new things or to avoid the dreaded resume gap. While time away from a job isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, companies do like to see employees who have fewer gaps. Short term or long-term temporary projects can fill those gaps. As an added bonus, you can add new skills to your resume because of these experiences.

Incoming Paycheck

Of course, one of the biggest benefits form working with staffing firms to find short or long term employment is that incoming paycheck. And you never know where that paycheck could lead. Short term jobs have the opportunity to become full-time jobs in some cases. You may hit it off great with the employer and find yourself with a new permanent position.
