TOP 3 Things to Look for When Hiring a Staffing Company

If you're wondering whether the staffing agency you're talking to about potentially solving your workforce problems, Is going to really, could really come through or not, here's three things you should look for. Number one, what are they doing differently? Let's face it, most superintendents, project managers, whether it's construction, emergency response, environmental, they've all hired staffing agencies before. There's nothing that prevents someone from starting a new one. There's new companies that pop up every year. How is this company that you're speaking to is different? You should just ask them, what makes you different from the other companies that are out there? Listen to the first 10 seconds. Because if your answer first is, Well, gosh, we just do it better. That's not really something you can really put your money on now, is it? Number two is, How are they using any different tools to make your lives easier? It's 2024, 2025, depending on what you're watching this. We can now order food with our phones, yet most companies still use paper timesheets. How are they reinventing the process to make life easier for you? Number three, have they done anything to innovate?

Now, the number one thing people talk about in construction and in the field projects environment is everything is still the same. Technology adoption is not what it should be compared to other industries. Any new vendor you're adding on, are they doing anything different? Is technology something a part of something they're adopting to help be at the forefront to help make your jobs easier? At the end of the day, if you're looking for a new organization to help you with your workforce problem, but everyone you're talking to is doing it the same way it's always been done, there's probably a good probability that they're not really going to solve your problem like you're hoping they will.
