Many companies operate in multiple regions, and the reality is: hiring isn’t equally difficult everywhere. In one location, you may find plenty of qualified applicants; in another, the same role may remain open for months.
Employers often feel pressure to lower their hiring requirements just to fill roles but that can cause long-term issues. Instead, by partnering with a staffing agency, companies can keep their threshold the same while allowing flexibility in how talent is brought in.
We’ve seen this firsthand with global companies. In some locations or positions they had little trouble filling positions while in others the skills or availability just weren’t there. Instead of changing the role requirements or their weld test standard, etc they brought in agency placements who were able to serve in an entry level capacity.
The Power of Temporary-to-Full-Time Pathways
Agency employees can start in the role, learn the culture, organization, and skills, and demonstrate their value. Over time, many transition into full-time positions once they’ve grown into the role and are able to meet the hiring criteria. Although it’s an investment up front, it pays dividends when you now have an active talent pool to hire from for the full time needs long term!
This approach benefits everyone:
- Employers keep standards consistent and reduce risk.
- Employees gain opportunity, development, and a career pathway.
- Agencies act as a bridge between workforce supply and employer demand.
By leveraging temporary-to-full-time pathways, companies can maintain hiring standards, employees gain real career opportunities, and agencies bridge the gap—creating a win-win workforce strategy built for long-term success.
