As the economy stabilizes in and around the Windsor area, an increasing number of job seekers are finding that staffing firms may be their gateway to permanent employment.
In the past, many people assumed that these agencies only provided temporary or contract positions, but many employers are now using them to find just the right person for their full time employee needs. This shift in the role of these agencies is due to several different factors.
More and more companies are finding it to be economical to have someone else sift through the large number of resumes that they receive and pick out the most qualified applicants. This helps to reduce the workload on their human resources departments and can often be the most cost effective and efficient method of finding new employees.
Many firms are also using temporary contract positions as a sort of probationary period before offering their workers full time employment. This allows them to make sure that they are a good fit for the company.
Several staffing services have noted that the number of candidates they have successfully placed has gone up this year, and that as many as 35-40 per cent of them go on to receive offers of full time work from the company they were placed with.
Someone considering asking one of these agencies to help them find their ideal job would be wise to have their resume updated and professionally printed by a printing company. This will give it a polished look and feel that may just make the difference between being passed over or offered a job.
