In either case, the company or candidate must evaluate the value of using a staffing agency. So, what is a staffing agency? It is an organization that specializes in connecting job candidates with specific skills and experience with companies needing to fill a particular position needing these qualifications. The staffing agency is the active agent in recruitment, screening and selection to find the best candidates for their particular client. It is all about finding the right person at the right time for the right company.
