Staffing companies connect workers with organizations needing labor. They recruit, employ, and assign workers to client companies. The staffing company is the employer, handling payroll and benefits, while clients direct daily work.
Types of Staffing
Staffing services include temporary staffing for short-term needs, temp-to-hire allowing evaluation before permanent hiring, direct hire recruiting for permanent positions, and contract staffing for specialized project roles. Each serves different purposes.
Industry Focus
Many staffing companies specialize in particular industries or skill sets. IT staffing, healthcare staffing, industrial staffing, and administrative staffing are common specializations. Specialists have deeper talent pools and understanding of specific needs.
Staffing vs. EOR
Both staffing companies and EORs employ workers who work for clients. The key difference is who identifies the worker. Staffing companies recruit and supply workers. EORs employ workers the client has already selected. The relationship purpose differs fundamentally.
