WHY US FOR YOUR RECRUITMENT AND STAFFING AGENCY
You know the unending recruitment and staffing drill:
Advertise position openings Review applications Interview candidates Negotiate salaries Prepare the paperwork Review paperwork Train employees to work Submit tax paperwork and then...
All this work and they sometimes quit the first day. Then there’s even more paperwork and the cycle begins again.
It all uses up precious HR specialist resources. It might be weeks before you’ll ever be able to hire anyone. With COVID-19 now in the picture, the legalities and risks associated with this role only add to its stress.
If you are spending too many human resources hours to find employees or your furloughed workers hesitant to return to work, there’s a great solution.
More and more employers are partnering with a staffing agency in Grand Rapids.
The Job Post may be the right one for you!
What the Job Post Staffing Can Do For You
The Job Post is your valuable resource; partnering with us for your recruitment agency may well be one of the smartest decisions you make.
We find talent quickly and efficiently:
Here are just a few of the many benefits we offer your business:
Hire immediately
Due to COVID-19, the hiring process is longer and more difficult than in years past. Save time and money with The Job Post. As a recruitment agency, we prescreen and qualify candidates on a continual basis. This ensures we have plenty of candidates that are the right fit for your opening, even before you tell us you need them.
Reduce risk
For the most part, The Job Post maintains full responsibility for the employees while they are on assignment at your workplace. This may include covering certain taxes, providing insurance coverage, adhering to health and safety guidelines, and following labor laws.
Directly hiring employees also comes with financial risks, especially if someone has to be fired or unexpectedly leaves. When you use The Job Post for your staffing agency, we assume many of these liabilities for you.
Jobs and how it works
In its recruitment agency role, The Job Post finds the right type of worker(s) you need: Temporary, temp-to-hire, or direct hire. Here is a summary of the process once you begin a partnership with us (also see How It Works):
The Job Post looks in its database for existing candidates for a good fit. These candidates have already been interviewed, vetted, and are ready to go.
If none are found, we advertise on job boards and other places job seekers will be looking. Continual advertising and vetting are part of our everyday outreach to keep employees readily available when you need them.
Once a candidate is found, we spend considerable time communicating with our employee(s). Discussing the job, your company culture, requirements, PTE, and transportation options are a big part of this process.
The employee will be referred to you and—in many cases—can start within 24 to 48 hours.
Communication between your company, The Job Post, and the employee continues throughout their employment to ensure a good and continuing fit for all.
Benefits, paychecks, bonuses, and so forth are provided by The Job Post.
You determine the length of employment, and whether to hire permanently
Misconceptions
Staffing agencies are too expensive. The longer a position is open on your end, the higher the cost due to loss of productivity and diversion of resources. We can help decrease the time to hire and thus decrease losses in productivity.
Staffing agencies are making a profit. Unlike other staffing agencies, The Job Post is non-profit. We are a social enterprise of the Guiding Light, so all ‘traditional’ profit is transferred to Guiding Light. They use our “profits” to help individuals who are homeless, have lost their way through drug or alcohol addiction, or simply need the barriers removed so they can get to work. They may participate in an extensive rehabilitation program where they learn to rely on spiritual help and eventually—Lord willing—find employment, and become contributing, law-abiding citizens. When this happens, it makes our mission a sustainable circle.
Employees are not high quality. While many of our employees are equipped for entry-level jobs, many are highly skilled too. Workers who come through The Job Post are specifically vetted to focus on their skills, interests, needs, and reliability. That equals high-quality employees for the right job. Our track record speaks for itself!
