The Advantages Of A Technical Staffing Firm

December 17, 2021 | By: Scott Lard

Finding the right employees isn’t always easy, especially in a job market that is very much candidate driven. Even more so in an industry like IT, where there is an even smaller pool of qualified candidates to choose from and talent is in high demand. Today’s businesses that are in the market for technical talent are fighting for the best of the best in a competitive environment that puts the candidate in the driver’s seat.

If you’re in the market for talented IT professionals, one way you can help your business find the candidate you need is by connecting with a technical staffing firm that focuses on IT placements. Here, we’ll discuss what technical staffing is, why working with a technical staffing firm is more effective than a standard temp agency, and how a local firm like IS&T can help you get the technical team members you need.

Technical Staffing Firm

What is an Technical Staffing Firm?

A technical staffing firm, or an IT staffing agency, is a staffing company that specializes in staffing IT-focused positions. Typically, technical staffing firms will work within a variety of industries such as finance, medical, oil and gas, retail, and more, because IT is an essential part of nearly every major industry. They will have experience staffing everything from temporary IT positions to C-level positions.

Why Use a Technical Staffing Agency?

When it comes to finding the right staffing partner for your business’s IT needs, you might be wondering – can’t I use a standard or general staffing agency? You can, but there are distinct advantages to using an agency that specializes in IT placements. These advantages include:

Qualified Applicants

IT positions require a specific set of skillsets, certain certifications, and distinct experience levels to be successful. Using a technical staffing agency can get your business access to a specific selection of candidates whose skills and experience levels match that required for IT jobs. Most importantly, these candidates are usually those who your business may not otherwise be able to have access to. IT staffing firms can get your business access to passive talent that is not actively looking for a job, referred talent, and even out-of-state talent. Lastly, an IT staffing firm can make sure that all the candidates are screened and vetted to ensure they’re a good fit for your needs.

Quicker Hiring Process

The more time it takes to find the right candidate, the more time and money your business loses. With any staffing agency it takes time to find the right person for the job, but by working with a niche agency that understands your specific needs, you have a better chance of getting the right person the first time around. Reputable and experienced technical staffing firms have proven processes by which they connect the right IT talent to businesses in need, meaning you can get the employee you need more swiftly.

Specific Understanding of IT

By far the most important reason to partner with a technical staffing firm over a traditional agency when staffing IT-focused positioned is that the staffing experts will have a proven and unique understanding of the IT industry and the position they are staffing. This gives IT staffers an edge over general staffing firms. The experience and insights they have within the IT industry allows them to better assist businesses in finding the right candidate as quickly as possible.
