Most people start their business because they are good at something.
This can be producing a product or delivering a service.
As I am sure that you know, there are a lot more things that go into running a business then just providing a product or a service.
Hiring employees is probably not one of the things you are best at, neither is it something you have hours and hours of time to spent doing.
This is why more and more businesses are utilizing outsourced staffing companies.
It leaves them with more time to do what they do best, which is focusing on the product or service and running a business.
If you decide to go with an outsourced staffing company when looking to hire employees, many have a resume searching services available.
Resume sourcing and resume mining is the cheapest method of outsourced staffing out there.
This is where a staffing company takes over the resume searching stage of the hiring process.
With Resume sourcing and resume mining, you will only outsource the search phase.
Once a candidate is found that looks good on paper, the staffing company will then pass the resume over to you.
It is then your job to email, call and contact the candidate to interest them in your position.
It is then your responsibility to contact, interview and select the best candidate for your company.
With resume sourcing and resume mining, usually candidates are found by search on various job boards.
This is done by a keyword search.
Unlike a job position, only qualified candidates who fit your requirements are sent over to you.
There is no need to spend hours reading through resumes that are not even a fit for your position.
This is usually how it works: You send over your job description or information about your job opening and talk to the staffing company about any specific details.
The recruiting company will then search specific job boards, sending you only the candidates that meet your requirements.
You then have to contact and engage the candidates.
With this method of resume searching you are able to make multiple hires for a very low cost.
This is much cheaper and efficient than a job posting or buying access to a job board yourself.
Another method of outsourced staffing available is full cycle recruiting.
This is where mostly all of the recruiting process is taken over, including the resume searching.
This method can save you a lot more time, however it is a bit more expensive.
Although the full cycle solution is more expensive, most people who have tried it will say it is definitely worth it.
