Finding skilled and professionally qualified workforce is no more a cakewalk in a competitive market where candidates are offered with lucrative pay packages and flexible work conditions by numerous employees. Staffing firms give easy solutions to fill vacancies from executive level to managerial level. Small and Medium Enterprises often look for temporary or temporary-to-permanent employees who can be hired at an economical rate. But before partnering with employment agencies, make sure that the agencies’ code of conduct should be based on fair policies and values so that you can avoid pitfalls of getting into legal traps. Here are some implications which an employer should keep in mind when you work with a staffing agency:

Work with a staffing firm who know the value of trust that employers, associates and clients have in them. Always look for a firm which has a good market reputation and rated as average to excellent in assessment charts. Check for performance parameter and certifications that the agency possesses.

If your staffing agency believes in keeping written records of the services which they are offering you, then it is an affirmative indication. If they support a fair discussion on medical policies, taxes, laws and Fair Labour Standards Act before getting into the written contract formalities, then it is a dependable staffing agency.

As per the latest trends of the staffing industry, reputed agencies not only give workforce solutions but, also take care of training and development of the employees. Besides this, they have strict policies on turn up time, pay scale and acts of indiscipline. Persuade that your staffing agencies include the above when they offer you their services. These trends are applicable specifically in case of contingent or contract base workforce.

Reputed staffing firms have their own database and employee management structure. When an employee is deployed on a contract or temporary basis, recruitment agencies provide them their employee ID, Badges and other credentials which are not associated with clients’ permanent employees credentials.

Fair Labour Standards Acts preside over payments for overtime work. If your workforce solution provider keeps a record of these payments and it is being conferred and discussed with you before it is being charged, then indeed your agency is a bonafide consulting.


Choosing the best agency from a horde of staffing agencies which acknowledge your workforce requirements efficiently and works on fair policies is a tedious task. But there are firms which feel themselves privileged of walking an extra mile to set high standards of working in the staffing industry.
