What is a staffing agency?

"I come across many candidates who do not understand what a staffing agency is. I explain 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 hundreds or even thousands of job applications for each open job or hire in a timely fashion, so they ask for outside help. I also explain that positions can be permanent or temporary, and some agencies even offer career resources to help you reach your career goals. I have also come across businesses that are unaware of the solutions a staffing agency can offer, such as finding specialized talent, temporary positions, and diverse pools of candidates."
