A staffing firm finds qualified job prospects and brings them together with potential employers for the purpose of developing a "direct hire" or "permanent" employment relationship. "Contingency" costs are paid by the client when the worker is employed.

Human Resource Consulting

A staffing firm advises clients on a broad range of work force solutions, including methods and services for optimizing personnel and ability levels, worker performance, training, and recruitment and retention.

Long-Term and Contract Help

A staffing company hires workers and assigns them to support or supplement a client's work force on longer-term projects. Workers may be utilized by the staffing firm or designated as independent professionals.

Managed Provider

An MSP is an on-site supplier engaged to manage all aspects of a client's short-lived and contract staffing services, consisting of recommending or picking staffing companies and vendor management systems. An MSP may or may not supply its own staffing services, and might use several or no VMS providers.

Managed Services

A staffing company presumes full responsibility for running a particular client function for which the staffing firm has operational know-how (e.g., call center, mailroom, data processing center, lunchroom, landscaping, guards, upkeep, janitorial services) on a continuing basis. This is often carried out under a "declaration of work" plan instead of in terms of hourly labor.

Outplacement

A staffing company provides profession transition services, consisting of profession therapy, testing, training, interview coaching, and referrals, to assist a customer's separating workers.

Payrolling

A staffing firm puts on its payroll workers recruited or worked with by the customer. Payrolling is identified from PEO arrangements in that the staff members typically are on short-term tasks and make up a little percentage of the client's labor force.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO or Employee Leasing)

A business positions all or many of its labor force on the payroll of a staffing firm, and the staffing firm assumes duty for payroll, benefits, and other personnel functions.

Recruitment process outsourcing is a kind of business process outsourcing where a customer transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external company, such as a staffing company. An RPO firm may supply its own or presume the client's personnel, technology, approaches, and reporting. RPO suppliers handle the whole recruitment procedure, from style through outcomes.

Retained Search Services

Retained search services are usually for management or executive positions in which the staffing firm charges a retainer (in advance charge) to perform the look for a client. Because a maintained search is done on a contract basis, the client pays the fees for the search services no matter whether a hire results.

Temporary Help

A staffing firm hires and screens workers and assigns them to support or supplement a client's labor force to keep fully staffed throughout hectic times, gain special competence or staff unique jobs, or fill short-term vacancies. Workers may be utilized by the staffing company or designated as independent contractors.

Temporary to Hire

A staffing firm staff member works for a client for a trial duration throughout which both the employee and the client think about developing a "permanent" work relationship.

Vendor Management Systems

A VMS is a Web-based software tool that customers use to purchase and manage goods and services, including short-lived and contract staff. These tools are offered by third-party VMS providers as well as staffing firms that have their own innovation platform.
