What is a Tech Staffing Agency?
A staffing agency – also referred to as a search, recruiting, or staffing firm or service – is an organization that matches companies and job candidates. An IT Staffing firm partners with an organization to learn about their staffing needs and then recruits top talent to fill their job positions. Depending on the company’s wishes, IT staffing agencies can hire on a contract, contract to hire, direct hire, or managed services basis. Working with a staffing agency allows companies to be more strategic with their time and resources toward other business goals besides the hiring process. When starting to work with an IT staffing agency such as TeamUP Staffing the process may look like this:
- The employer needs help sourcing, reviewing, and hiring for a project: You’ll start this process by finding a staffing agency that specializes in your target industry. After reaching, you will specify your business needs: the number of employees required, the skillset needed, project timeframe, salary rate, etc.
- The Agency advertises jobs. The agency recruiters take your needs and create a job description to highlight the position. Our team then starts reaching out individually to top tech talent that may be a good fit for the project.
- TeamUP Staffing vets candidates: Once applications start rolling in for the open position, our team of experienced recruiters prescreen, run background checks, and verify contractor skills through references and checking before continuing with an interview with the company. After finding the top-quality tech talent, we will introduce the contractor to the hiring manager.
- The Employer has the final decision. All decisions to move forward will be up to the hiring manager or business owner. This ensures trust in the partnership between the company and staffing agency that the contractor exceeds expectations.
- TeamUP Staffing handles the paperwork. We take the heavy lifting after extending an offer and completing a lot of the legwork needed during the hiring process like contracts, taxes, and additional payroll tasks.
