As recruiters, we've certainly seen how important the Linkedin profile can be to some employers.

]]> Comment on Is Temporary Staffing Right for You? by Joyelle Vollero http://blog.hirevelocity.com/2012/08/is-temporary-staffing-right-for-you/comment-page-1/#comment-8548 Joyelle Vollero Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:54:43 +0000 http://blog.hirevelocity.com/?p=583#comment-8548 Temporary workers can be a bonus to both employer and employee, himself. As the article states, it's almost a trial period before investing limited company resources into an employee...it gives the company an opportunity to see what type of employee that person will be, how they'll adapt to the environment and fit in with your culture. Let's face it-anyone can be impressive for 30 minutes or an hour while they're in the hot seat and being interviewed. Think of all the employees you hired on your own and once you got to know the person, you realized how different they were from the persona they presented during the interview. On the flip side, if you're out of work and looking for an opportunity, a temporary position just might be the way to go. You never know where the opportunity may lead. Several years ago I had just moved back to Atlanta while my husband was deployed to Afghanistan. I went to a temp agency and landed the most boring job in the world-calling and verifying information. I hated it! But I got lucky-the job was with another RPO and as I tried to get to know my co-workers in my new environment I began to see what it would be like to be a recruiter. I'd always had an interest in it but suddenly there was a real opportunity in front of me to give it a try. I don't think I did that boring job verifying information more than a month before I was promoted to a recruiter...and the story goes from there! Had I never taken the temp job, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I may not have discovered the niche for myself professionally that I've found in talent acquisition. Yes, temporary workers can benefit a company--fill in where needs aren't being met, or if someone is out on leave for any length of time, or even give an employer a trial period before bringing the person on to the company's own payroll and benefits program. The benefits of utilizing the staffing agency's tools and skills for vetting employees far outweighs the costs. Temporary workers can be a bonus to both employer and employee, himself.

It's something we're using daily to source the top candidates and as the article states, often gives more of a picture than just a resume would on a traditional job seeker site.
