Many employers use staffing agencies to find permanent workers. This give the employer an opportunity to try out the employee with out assuming much risk. Here are the benefits;

1. There is a testing period to find out if the employee has good work habits. Most people will reveal who they really are in the first few months. The employer gets to find out if they are going to be an absentee problem, a tardy problem, how fast they learn on the job, how they take care of hygein, and a host of other basic employee habits and attitudes.

2. The staffing company is responsible for screening applicants and only bringing qualified applicants to work.

3. The staffing company is responsible for workman's comp while the employee is working through the staffing company.

4. The company can avoid paying full benefits during this trial period as they find out if the employee is going to work out or not.

5. The staffing agency handles terminations. If an employee is not working out, it is a simple matter of making a phone call to terminate the arrangement. This avoids uncomfortable and potential hazardous settings from having to terminate employees on site.

There really are a lot of advantages for companies to use temporary staffing agencies. I have known a lot of people who were hired as permanent employees through a temp service and went on to have very productive careers with their company.
