*67% of Hiring Managers Use Outsourced Recruiters!

August 26, 2024

According to a recent study of 1000 US hiring managers conducted in August by Indeed Flex, it was reported that more than two-thirds of hiring managers use staffing firms for a variety of staffing challenges.

Amongst the business reasons for this strategy include…

To recruit new staff, 44.5%
To cover seasonal fluctuations in workload – 43.4%
To fill in for a long term absence of a regular employee – 38.6%
To access very specific skill sets they can’t find on their own – 32.6%
To reduce fixed labor costs – 29.1%

In addition to the 32.2% of employers who don’t use staffing firms at all, 53.4% said they used staffing firms occasionally to regularly, many forming partnerships with a staffing company who takes the time to get to know their business. Paraphrased quotes of interest…“Rising costs and stretched budgets are forcing businesses to lean on agencies to fill shift gaps. Businesses rely on temporary staff as a vital lifeline, providing the flexibility to staff up or down as business’ needs change.”
