While many job seekers use the terms “employment agency” and “staffing agency” interchangeably, they are not the same. In fact, the two agencies have different goals and types of placements. The main difference between the two is that staffing agencies mainly focus on temporary job placements while employment agencies aim for long term job placements.
Staffing Agencies
Staffing agency in O‘ahu find employees for client companies by using their own network of active candidates or people who are actively seeking jobs. They typically screen candidates by reviewing resumes or interviewing them. Once they have found a qualified candidate, they will introduce them to the company. The client company may choose to hire the candidate or may pass on them. Staffing agencies are considered the employer of record for temp hires and often handle worker payroll, contracts, taxes, and benefits.
Employment Agency
Employment agencies help job seekers find permanent positions. They have a large pool of applicants that they recruit from and interview to find the best fit. They also have a lot of connections with local businesses and work to build relationships with them. When a business has an open position, the recruitment agency will send in pre-screened candidates to meet with them. If the hiring manager likes one of the candidates, they can then decide to hire them as a full-time employee.
Whether an agency is right for you will depend on your needs as a job seeker or employer. If you are looking for a permanent position and would like to avoid the stress of managing the ongoing administrative responsibilities that come with it, an employment agency is likely your best option.
Staffing agencies are a great option for those who need a shorter-term role or are wanting to test the waters of a new position before making a commitment to it. The agency can usually provide jobs with a more flexible start and end date, and they can even offer temp-to-hire opportunities. This gives both the employer and the employee a chance to see if they are a good fit before committing to a permanent arrangement. Staffing agencies are also an excellent resource for seasonal industries, such as construction, where they can help staff up during busy periods. Staffing agencies can supply workers for a project or a specific non-permanent job and can take care of all the paperwork for ongoing worker payroll, tax withholding, and benefits. This can save time and money for the company that would otherwise have to keep track of this on their own.
