Did you know working with a staffing agency that specializes in shipyard placements can save both time and money? Choosing a staffing partner with the right background will allow you to make safe and effective hiring choices while still concentrating on running your business. How can you succeed in 2018 by working with an agency? Let’s look at the top 5 tips for selecting the right staffing partner.
1. More candidates.
Hiring is a complicated series of steps that starts with sourcing potential talent. You don’t have time for that and for running your shipyard smoothly. A staffing agency specializing in shipyard placements will already have the connections needed to find top talent for any of your open positions. If there isn’t an immediate fit, they have the ability to dedicate their time to sourcing and pre-screening more candidates.
2. Quicker hire.
Your staffing partner’s entire role in the hiring process is to source, screen, and present candidates. That means they will be able to help you hire someone much faster than if you needed to take time out of your schedule for the same process. Don’t allow other aspects of your shipyard to suffer while you go through this process on your own.
3. Experienced project help.
You may also have needs that are temporary or seasonal in nature. These short-term jobs take as much time to hire as a full-time position, but with a very different outcome. An agency offers this as a solution to help your shipyard and the incoming temporary employee are already given safety orientation and are aware of the nature of the project
4. Discover hidden talent.
Short-term positions can turn into full-time jobs when you least expect it. You may not have the same experience if you bring in short-term employees on your own. These pre-screened and trained individuals may have another place in your company and without working with a specialized agency, you may not have found them.
5. Cost reduction.
The cost of working with an agency will be significantly less than the long-term costs of your own internal hiring program. The benefits are built right in. If you hire on your own, your current employees may need to work overtime to take up the slack, which will cost more money long term. Hire right the first time.
