5 BENEFITS OF A CONSULTANT VS. STAFFING AGENCY

Temporary Help

“Are You Seeking A Staffing Agency?

Looking for interim help to assist with quarterly or year-end deadlines, fill temporary vacancies, work on special projects or any combination thereof? Whatever your needs, flexibility is the key; especially organizations implementing change in technology or major business processes. In emergency situations, most of you will immediately contact a staffing agency to fill your temporary needs. However, hiring a consultant has many significant benefits. Therefore, review your staffing needs carefully and consider your other option, Transitional Accounting Services.

“5 Benefits of Hiring a Consultant”

  • 1.  Fees match skills and/or services provided; no third-party placement fees. Utilizing a staffing agency to get temporary placement for senior finance and accounting roles is difficult.  Agency fees include compensation to the candidate plus a placement fee. As a result, finding quality staff is difficult or a candidate with the right skill set is underpaid, that can result in high turnover.
    2.  Due to C-Level experience, more apt to “hit the ground running”.  As well as ability to handle multiple tasks with very little oversight.  Your return on investment is immediate.  Not to mention, you will not have to test the skill level of candidates.  Nor have several placements before getting it right.
    3.  Looking for open-ended engagements to get institutional knowledge for future engagements.  For the most part, temporary staff are looking for permanent placement and may leave the organization prematurely.  All training and knowledge gained is lost to the organization upon their departure.
    4.  May offer high-level strategic oversight during “transition” period.  If utilizing a “temp pool”, can provide transition support into respective roles and provide continuity of work with loss of temporary placements.  As well as help permanent staff when applicable.
    5.  Ability to give advisory services to improve business processes.  Within accounting/finance department and inter-departmental transactions.
