On-demand recruiting has become relatively popular over the last couple of years. Many employers are utilizing on-demand hiring to address immediate needs or get help on short-term projects. There are a lot of benefits to on-demand recruiting. Here’s how it may be able to help your business.
What is On-Demand Recruiting?
Essentially, on-demand recruiting is a model for agencies to provide new hires on an as-needed basis. Having flexibility in your recruiting and hiring strategy can help businesses address being short-staffed, needing help on a project, or having high hiring volumes in the industry. It will also help you fill positions quickly when they become open without having to dedicate any internal time to find the new hire. So, what are some of the ways your business can directly benefit from on-demand recruiting?
It’s Personalized
An on-demand recruiting model is personalized to your organization’s needs. You will be able to sit down with a recruiter and talk about your specific goals. Then, you work with them to create a hiring strategy to help your business achieve its objectives both short and long-term.
Scale Up or Down
Another great benefit of on-demand recruiting is that you’re able to scale up or down at any given time. For example, if your company experiences an increase in demand, you can bring on temporary or temp-to-hire workers. This will allow you to address immediate needs while leaving room to scale up or down as demand changes. Oftentimes, on-demand hiring comes in handy for companies who have increased staffing needs during certain seasons or if they experience an influx in the number of orders they receive.
Control Costs
Speaking of flexibility, on-demand recruiting also offers more control over the cost of hiring someone new. You pay a fee to the recruiting agency and they take care of the rest. They recruit candidates, interview them, provide onboarding services, and even take responsibility for payroll in some instances. Typically, the employer would use internal resources for these tasks (human resources, accountants, hiring managers, etc). On-demand recruiting offers you some flexibility and provides more control over how much it costs the organization in total. Not to mention, it allows your employees to focus on other projects and goals.
Increased Resilience
Overall, on-demand recruiting can help make your business “pandemic proof.” Your organization will be more resilient because you always have a plan to address any staffing needs. Whenever a position opens up, demand increases or you need a new employee, recruiting services are available. Recruiters can jump in and provide you with the talent you need within a moment’s notice. You won’t have to worry about scrambling to find people to cover tasks and various other responsibilities. All in all, your company will be more resilient.
