Choosing the Best Staffing Services Provider in India

Talent search exercise is like a daily routine for organisations across India. Job platforms are flooded with numerous job posts by recruiters and subsequent applications by candidates. With so many applications on the table, it becomes difficult for organisations to select the right talent. You need to dedicate a lot of time and effort to spotting the talent you need for various job profiles. Many times the one who has crafted a wonderful resume but doesn’t have the required skills gets the nod ahead of someone very deserving but doesn’t have an impactful resume to show. And that’s perfectly okay as screening out those hidden talents from a dash of resumes is almost impossible for organisations as they have some other priorities too. Also, finding talents is one, and managing them is another. After getting the talents in, organisations need to manage their payroll and other benefit administration tasks compliant with various labour laws existing in India. You can thus get an idea of the tasks organisations have to do.

But India is evolving fast in the staffing landscape with the emergence of staffing companies involved in volume hiring, contract staffing, executive search, onboarding, payroll management, etc. But there lies the competition between staffing companies, which were more than 23,000 in India back in 2018, as per the report published by BW Business World. Surely, the current number must have been much more. That only gives organisations selection headaches. However, by following the tips mentioned below, organisations can select the best staffing services provider in India. Have a look at the tips.

Tips to Choose the Best Staffing Company in India

What’s Your Hiring Objective?

Before kickstarting the hiring process, be mindful of the objectives you want to fulfil. Ask yourself the kind of people you want and on what terms & conditions. As an organisation, you may require candidates for entry-level, mid-level or high-level job profiles. Being clear on what candidates you want can help you choose the staffing company for talent search and various other HR-related tasks.

Check the Staffing Agency’s Expertise Based on the Industry

Staffing companies can vary the way they select candidates for organisations. While some may be open to hire candidates for all industries, others may restrict to niche industries. Check the agencies who have provided manpower to the industry your organisation belongs to. Also, consider their team strength, profiles of their hiring managers, the list of clients they have served, etc. That will give you an idea of the staffing agency’s capabilities.

Check Presence & Candidate Deployment Experience of the Staffing Services Provider

Being present on a Pan-India level is important to hire multiple talents easily. You may have your head office in Delhi, but you may want a staffing company to hire talents and provide other HR support across Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata or even the tier-II and tier-III cities of India. Also, check the candidate deployment experience of different staffing services providers in India.

Do Review the Work of the Staffing Agency

Carefully review the staffing company, their expertise in handling recruitment based on different industry requirements, their hiring policies, client testimonials, etc. As an organisation, don’t hesitate to contact the staffing agency directly to get a list of its clients across industries.

Check the Staffing Companies’ Longevity

Doing good recruitment work for brands is one and maintaining the same for years is another. A staffing agency may have flourished of late, but if their stay in the recruitment industry is only a couple of years, you should consider other options. More so when you have a vast number of employees to manage. Choose the staffing service provider which has been offering excellent recruitment experience to brands over the years.

Review the Hiring Process

Check the number of employees working across brands, courtesy of the recruitment support provided by the staffing service provider. Contact the service provider to know its hiring strategies in detail. Such as how it screens and selects candidates. Recruitment companies following the traditional approach of placing job ads in newspapers or job boards may not be able to hire the right talent in the stipulated time frame. Someone using social handles, various talent search portals, digital advertisements and outdoor talent outreach strategies will likely close recruitment quickly and in a cost-efficient manner.
