Solid partnerships are often crucial to business success. The right clients, the correct staff members, and critical contractors are necessary to take your business to the next level. Outsourcing your hiring to a firm that has your back allows you to gain back time, re-focus on your existing staff, and improve your finances. 2020 taught us we must be nimble, creative, and open to new ways of doing business. Now is the time to make a commitment to improving your way of hiring. If you’re regularly hiring, keeping the process in-house or utilizing an underperforming outsource partner is inefficient. We’re not doubting your team’s capability. It’s actually the opposite. We know your time can be better spent. In industries like healthcare, manufacturing, trucking, and services providers — your success lies in your people. They must show up, bring necessary skills or a desire to learn, and believe in your mission. Here are 3 benefits to reconsidering the way you outsource and manage your hiring in 2021: 1. HR Departments are Busy — Gain Back TimeMaking a good hire takes so….much...time. You know the drill. From writing the job description, creating and maintaining ads, responding to inquiries, sifting through applications, setting up interviews, then re-going through the applications, setting up more interviews. In the end, you’ve spent some time on the crucial qualification process, but you’ve spent countless hours on administrative tasks. This is time lost that has little measurable benefit to your company’s core business. Time is a precious resource. Wouldn’t it be nice to be introduced to pre-qualified candidates and have more time for other tasks? Outsourcing is a win-win when you partner with the right recruiting agency. 2. Re-Focus on Your Existing TeamOnce you outsource - or change who you choose to partner with — what will you do with our new-found time? Will you finally get through your to-do list? What about that wellness program you want to implement? Or the procedure updates continually getting pushed off? Maybe continuing education or more personal development landed on your New Year’s resolution list? Spending time on your existing team will pay off in the form of decreased turnover, improved engagement, and less absenteeism. 3. Make a Positive Effect on Your Company’s Bottom LineAt CRB we advocate for direct-hires as opposed to temporary employees. A direct hire feels valued, is more likely to seek growth opportunities, and buys into your core business’s mission. In turn, you have a harder working and more dedicated individual on your team. Top reasons for transitioning away from a temporary workforce business model:
You know as well as we do, the costs associated with hiring and training a new hire add up quickly. Reducing these costs year after year allows your business to realize greater profits. This year re-focus on yourself, your team, and your existing business. Outsource Your Hiring Needs to CRB Consulting GroupCRB believes in clear, professional, and mutually beneficial relationships.

We were all affected in some way, and likely still are. While some industries were hit with a boom and struggled to keep up, others faced a down-turn, layoffs, or closures. From working at home to face masks and plexiglass, change is something we’ve all had to embrace. At CRB Consulting Group we had a front-row seat to the ever-changing workforce landscape. But as the year has unfolded, 2020 has solidified our purpose. Our purpose is to help people. We help our clients to have successful growing businesses and we help job seekers to find enjoyable, long-term work. We’re not just a recruiting agency; we’re the partner that helps streamline the processes and relationships that come along with hiring, especially during times of uncertainty. More than ever, we have a heightened awareness of the fact that we’re working to support the backbone industries of our local community — manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. We care for our community and we’ve felt the communities support back. While our country may feel divided, when you look into individual communities you find people linking arms and supporting each other’s needs. We’ve seen this first hand here in the Rochester area and we take pride in knowing we’re doing our part. We’re helping people find stable work during an unsettling time. Sean Cloutier, CRB Founder and President, said it best, “It’s about more than the paycheck, we’re helping folks make a positive change in their life and regain confidence.” Our focus is on people and at the end of the day, people rely on stable work. People are at the core of every business. For our clients — we’ve stuck together, we’re thankful for these ongoing partnerships. But we’re most proud to say we’re putting people back to work in 2020. From skilled labor manufacturing workers, and healthcare facility aids, to truck drivers — we’re helping people from all walks of life make a positive change in their lives through meaningful work. We’ve had tough conversations and heard disheartening stories from job seekers and employers alike throughout the year. While people turn to recruiting agencies when they can’t find work, we like to think we find them something more than just a paycheck. Our goal is to place people in new positions or careers where they will be valued as a long-term employee. We are not a temp agency. We care about the long-term success of everyone involved. “If you expect to be successful in this industry, you have to care. You need to bring passion to the table for both your client’s success as well as the future of candidates you’re providing them.” — Sean Cloutier Getting to know our clients, on both sides — the employer and the employee — has proven more important than ever. 2020 has engrained the word essential into all of our minds. We approach our recruiting solutions with the mindset that all employers and employees are essential. Once secure industries like manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and foodservice, have faced uncertainty and change this year. At the same time, other industries flourished, but none-the-less had to balance change in keeping their staff and customers safe and healthy.
In our line of work, our candidates looking for work are all essential as they must care for themselves or their family. And regardless of the good or service a company provides, companies are essential to their staff and to their unique industry. We’re helping lower the unemployment levels on the local level — years from now this is something positive we’ll remember from 2020. While we’ve always felt like part of a team when it comes to our clients, 2020 has us realizing the bigger social impact at play. We’re choosing to look forward with positivity. The workforce challenges we face today will likely follow us for many months to come. But with our minds set on helping our local community, we’re ready to step up to the challenge.
