How do employment agencies work?
-
It's a simple process really.
-
A jobseeker is looking for work.
-
An employer is looking for workers.
-
The employment agency acts as the bridge between the two parties.
-
How does the agency bridge the gap?
-
Well, it all starts when a jobseeker applies for work through the agency.
-
The agency might have attracted the jobs seeker via a variety of means
-
Help wanted ads, online job boards, word-of-mouth, or even an YouTube video - like the one you're watching right now.
-
What does the employment agency do for the jobseeker?
-
Basically, the agency does everything it can to match the jobseeker to the right job and put them to work.
-
The jobseeker is taken through the application process, and if all goes well, becomes the agency's employee.
-
The employee is then sent out on loan to an employer for which the agency charges a fee to that company.
-
This is a free service for the employee.
-
If you cross paths with an employment agency that wants to charge you to find you a job, be wary.
-
What does the employment agency do for the employer?
-
The employers are , in reality, the agency's clients.
-
The agency serves their client's interests by finding them the right people for their jobs.
-
The client is charged a fee when the right employee is found, which is how an employment agency makes money.
-
The employment agency provides many services to their clients including interviews, screening, human resource services, worker's comp, and more.
-
Sometimes the agency will send an employee to a client to start work right away.
-
Other times, they will first need to submit the jobseeker's resume for an interview.
-
Now, depending on the situation, the employment agency will provide the jobseeker with guidance.
-
They might help with a resume, provide interview tips, or other advice, as it's in the employment agency's interest that the jobseeker gets the job.
-
But, that is only true if they've found the right person.
-
Sending an unqualified person out to a job will compromise the agency's relationship with their client.
-
Also, it's just not good situation for the jobseeker.
-
At Your Employment Solutions, our mission is to send the right person to the right job, the first time, and every time.
-
We want to make sure our employees are hired for a job that fits their best interests.
-
If a jobseeker is sent for an interview, and gets the job, they're generally put to work as soon as possible.
-
Now, the length of time a jobseeker remains an employee of the agency will vary.
-
Some jobs are temporary
-
Others are long-term, but indefinite.
-
Some clients work the employee on a trial basis, say 90 days before extending a permanent offer of employment with their company.
-
Some employers will execute a direct hire right away.
-
Alternatively, if a jobseeker interviews and doesn't get the job, or decides in a professional manner that the job isn't a good fit, an employment agency can sometimes provide other job options, which is another advantage of working with a staffing company
-
A jobseeker can apply to many different jobs via one application.
-
And that's it.
-
That's how employment agencies work.
-
Like I said, simple!
