Anyone who has experience with manufacturing knows that if you don’t have the right people working for you, your business will suffer – which is why partnering with staffing agencies is critical for long-term success.
One of the best ways to improve the operations of your manufacturing company is great partnerships with staffing agencies – which is more important now than it ever was.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in November 2024 there were more than 8.1 million open positions, with 3.1% of them in manufacturing.
That’s a lot of job openings just waiting to be filled with hard workers, right?
Manufacturing is second only to retail for open jobs – which means the demand for hard workers is high, something that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
That’s why partnering with a staffing agency is critical. Here are some ways staffing agencies can help:
Saving time
Staffing agencies have access to skilled workers who are ready to work, meaning you can hire them faster by using an agency than you can on your own. Agencies have already done the recruiting and screening – and they can give you an ideal candidate or multiple candidates.
Talent
It can be hard to find talented employees, but a staffing agency often has access to a larger pool of talented workers who are actively seeking a job – which means you have a greater chance of hiring someone amazing. They can also help you find candidates with the right skillsets – who know the latest technology and equipment used in your industry.
Productivity
Manufacturing can change on a dime – and if you need workers quickly, staffing agencies are ready to go. They often have dozens of employees ready to go so you can ramp up production.
