There are many reasons a hiring company works with a staffing agency. Most notably, when a company needs the niche expertise to hire the right candidate but doesn’t have the time to conduct a search themselves. 

There are also lesser-known benefits of working with a recruiter, including: 

#1 Coverage for Short-Term Leaves  

When an essential employee takes a leave of absence, e.g. parental or medical leave, you need to find a reliable, capable person to hire for the short term.   

CC has a network of talented candidates available to cover short-term leaves. We provide vetted marketing and advertising professionals ready to fill gaps at any level—from designers to senior-level marketers. 

#2 Payrolling Contract Workers  

We can assist with contractor payroll, even for candidates we do not place.   

We currently work with several companies to payroll their contractors. This means we manage the taxes, unemployment and benefits associated with those workers.   

#3 Benchmarking Fair Market Value  

Monitoring the job market is critical to attracting the best talent. Staying current on industry salaries, what’s important to jobseekers, and hiring trends is expertise we provide.  

If you need a third-party perspective on salary benchmarks and hiring best practices, we’d be happy to share our insights.  

#4 Supporting Teams During Market Uncertainty 

Companies looking to alleviate employee stress and overload after layoffs or hiring freezes could benefit from bringing in contract roles to support their teams. While full-time hiring may be on hold for some companies, contract talent skilled in marketing and creative disciplines help fill the gaps and keep the work moving without burning out a team.
