In today’s competitive job market, it can be difficult to search for a job entirely on your own—particularly without any leads or contacts. Even highly qualified employees with years of experience often send out resume after resume without ever receiving a call back.

This is why many job seekers turn to staffing firms.

A staffing firm’s job is to match the right people with the right jobs. They have long-standing connections with local employers in their region and are usually the first to know when a new position becomes available. Plus, if you’re struggling to write a persuasive cover letter and/or update your resume, you’ll be able to get the help you need to strengthen your application. Staffing firms review hundreds—if not thousands—of cover letters and resumes. They really are the experts and know exactly what employers are looking for.

Once your resume is in top shape, a staffing firm can ensure it ends up in the right hands. Depending on what you’re looking for, your firm will match your file specifically with employers who are looking for candidates like you. This is especially helpful if you’re searching within a specific industry or job type. For example, if you’re looking for a short-term assignment in the light industrial industry, a staffing firm can match you with companies that are also looking to hire short-term or seasonal workers.

That said, staffing firms aren’t just for filling temporary positions. If your goal is to secure permanent employment, working with a staffing firm can be very beneficial. Sometimes taking a temporary position is a great way to gain experience and get your foot in the door at a particular company. And many temporary workers placed by staffing firms eventually go on to land full-time positions.
