10. First Impressions
Take note of your first interactions with a staffing firm. After all, you are âthe customerâ and staffing firms are service providers.
9. Get Details
It’s okay to ask about how a firm does its recruiting, sourcing, screening, etc.
8. Have It Your Way
Some companies prefer resume submittals to managers directly and some do not. Whatever the process, define it with your staffing firm.
7. National or Local?
Do you really care if a staffing firm can boast and recite national statistics? What really matters is local service to you.
6. Find A Partner
Accountability is not a bad word; rather it helps define expectations and communications.
5. Over Communicate
Share as much information as you can about the job criteria including detailed job descriptions.
4. Define Expectations
Tell the staffing firm what the top âmust havesâ are and what concessions are acceptable.
3. Talk It Out
Provide timely and accurate feedback – good or bad.
2. Share The Space
Offer to tour your facility. It is hard to really understand the total picture, unless your staffing firm can see the environment.
1. Price and Pay Matter
Remember, like your business, staffing firms are in business to make a (fair) profit.
