Contract Staffing:
Debunking Common Objections
At Tandym Group, our contract staffing solutions were created with employers in mind. As a result, we’re not like every other firm. Whether you’ve previously utilized contract staffing or you’re unsure if it’s for you, we have the expertise and resources to exceed your expectations and deliver high-quality talent. Still not sure if Tandym Group is the right vendor for you? Hopefully we can address your concerns below:
We do use contractors, but aren't looking to add any new vendors
One thing that many organizations don’t consider is that they are likely only seeing the best talent that their vendor has, and not necessarily the best talent in general. Throughout our 35+ years in business, we’ve found that candidate loyalty is an important factor. Candidates tend to stick with a firm they’ve had the best experience with, so it’s always worthwhile for organizations to “see what else is out there” in the talent pool.
Our tenure in this market, and our ability to share candidates among our many divisions, means our pool of available talent is larger than most. You might not be looking for a new supplier, but don’t let that stop you from getting the best possible candidates when you need them. This will always help maximize your fill ratio.
For those that have an on-site vendor, consider the importance of having a local vendor with dedicated client management that understands your local market. We are currently a preferred vendor for several Fortune 500 clients.
We don't have the budget to utilize any contractors
We know how time-sensitive your hiring needs can be, and a vacant position can often disrupt business operations or affect revenue. Consultants can be an excellent resource in those situations, and can also be hired on a contract-to-hire basis in scenarios where you’d like to “try before buying.”
Tandym Group is always willing to work within the budget set for specific positions, and our size and structure allow us to create custom solutions based on each organization’s unique needs. The use of contractors or consultants can often be less expensive than other means of managing your workforce, so why not allow us to provide you with a no cost, no obligation proposal of how that would work?
Our experience working with staffing vendors has never been a good one
For starters, we’re sorry to hear that! We’ve found the following factors to be effective at putting our clients at ease when working with us:
Candidate screening
We meet with all our candidates in-person or via video interview before sending them over to the client. This helps vet the candidates we feel would represent us well and fit your specific needs, while weeding out the ones that wouldn’t.
Open lines of communication
Our account managers will always be transparent with the good, the bad, and the ugly. The keys to a successful business relationship are clear, transparent lines of communication, and we’ve found that to be the reason many of our longest standing clients stick with us.
Credentialing
Within our healthcare business, we have a comprehensive credentialing department that takes care of the entire onboarding process of all our contractors to ensure we’re compliant with each client’s individual needs.
We don't partner with staffing firms—we do all of our hiring in-house
In this market, most companies find the amount of wasted, unproductive time spent on the recruiting process to be a huge, hidden cost. And for many, recruiting is not their only job function. In-house hiring can often be the most frustrating and costly way of finding talent.
We are specialists that spend all of our time actively recruiting quality candidates, and there are several needs and types of roles where we can be an effective resource for organizations:
Parental leave
coverage
Extended leaves
of absence
Unexpected loss of
an employee
Per diem
shifts
Project-based
work
Additionally, for organizations that might not have an immediate hiring need, it’s always beneficial to partner with a staffing firm due to their knowledge of the general job market as well as your specific industry. We can act as a true partner in the hiring process, even if you are just seeking advice.
