The holiday season is right around the corner. If your company is like most, things get a little hectic this time of the year. And there’s a strong possibility your organization might need additional staff to help when business gets busy. Whether it’s extra people to help manage increased production levels or more technology professionals to assist with increased customer support needs, having those additional staff members in the right places is crucial at a time like this.
Of course, high-volume hiring is easier said than done. It’s often best to outsource your seasonal hiring needs to a professional recruiting firm specializing in surge hiring. Here are three of the best reasons to do just that:
When the holiday surge comes – or surges at other times of the year, such as the busy summer season – you need staff, fast. And that’s not always easy to accomplish on your own. Outsourcing your recruitment and hiring needs for seasonal surges saves your internal team a lot of time. The heavy lifting is done elsewhere; finding candidates, collecting resumes, vetting candidates, interviewing them, and placing them isn’t on your plate.
That leaves your internal team free to focus on what’s in front of them: managing the increased need around the busy season. Ultimately, it keeps everyone on track and helps your organization meet its goals during a period of increased demand.
Professional recruiters are experts at what they do. They are likely to find better candidates for your precise needs than your organization could find on its own. Recruiters spend years building a wide pool of talent to source from, and their connections help them find candidates that exactly suit your needs. Plus, because recruiters can engage passive candidates – those who aren’t necessarily looking for a new role but would be open to the right opportunity – your organization has access to the best of the best!
When your organization requires high-volume hiring but doesn’t want to sacrifice candidate quality or diversity of hires, outsourcing can help. Allowing professional recruiters to find the right candidates the first time makes things a lot easier.
The great thing about outsourced hiring is that it’s scalable both ways. You can scale up your workforce to help with increased need during the busy season and then scale it down again when the need decreases. That means you get the help you need when you need it, but you don’t waste money by keeping extra staff around when you don’t need them anymore.
High-quality candidates, a scalable workforce, and incredible time and cost savings – it only makes sense to outsource your high-volume hiring needs as the holiday season ramps up.
