QUESTION 2 OF 35

What is your understanding of a staffing agency?

This question may seem as fundamental as they get, but the interviewer needs to know how staffing works. Staffing is a misunderstood industry. It will be part of your role to clarify clients and candidates who may not fully comprehend what you do. Briefly describe to the hiring authority what a staffing agency is, including who they help and their primary purpose.

"I come across many candidates who do not understand what a staffing agency is. I explain to them that a staffing agency works on behalf of other companies to help them find the best talent for their open jobs. I explain that most of my clients do not have the time to filter through thousands of job applications per year, or hire in a timely fashion, so they ask for outside help."
