Today's comments are directed at employers struggling to get work done due to huge staff cutbacks. I was chatting with a client who is seeing absolutely horrible impacts from the recession. The organization is a specialty manufacturer and sales are barely a fraction of what they were last year. They have reduced staff to the bare bones just to survive.
Here is the dilemma they may face very soon. Some loyal customers appear almost ready to order products. To be able to meet their commitments, they will need to add staff, hopefully recalling some former employees. If they hire them back as full time employees, another layoff will be imminent unless business keeps rolling in.
My suggestion to anyone potentially in this situation is to partner with a staffing firm to do what we call pass through placements. You, the employer, select the staffers to retain on your own with no help from the staffing firm (usually folks you have hired previously). The staffing firm fills out the new hire paperwork and maintains them on their payroll for the duration of the project. Because the staffing firm is not doing the recruiting, they should be willing to provide you with this service. Feel free to contact me at harold@smartstaff.jobs or hblevin58@gmail.com to discuss this further.
