Human 

Resources (HR) staffing refers to managing the people aspect of running a business by

having adequate employees on hand to perform tasks. Human resources management is often
accomplished by an internal team of recruitment and employment specialists. However,human
capital management is also often handled by an outsourced staffing company that provides
services to source, screen, test, and evaluate new employees in advance of placement into
critical roles within a corporate environment.
In many companies, having a human resources department to handle the various aspects of
recruitment and employment processes is enough to manage operations. Within
the humanresources department, a team of recruiters can use available resources to search for
eligible candidates for job openings. Once candidates are located, in-house recruiters then
screen resumes, and conduct interviews and pre-employment testing to determine if the job
candidates have the necessary skills to become employed with the company. Candidates who
pass this phase are then offered jobs and are processed according to legal guidelines of
employment.

At other companies, due to lack of resources or in order to cut down on administrative

costs,human resources staffing functions are outsourced to an employment services vendor. In
many cases, the staffing is handled by an independent off-site employment service
or staffingcompany. Recruiters at the staffing company search for, screen, and process all job
candidates; matching them up with open positions according to individual skills and aptitudes.
This process is further enhanced by payroll and training services offered by
the staffing company.
HR staffing is a vital aspect of being able to meet the demands of the market economy. Having
a solid human resources staffing system also reduces turnover which can pose a problem in
many challenging industries. Without a constant flow of qualified candidates, open job spots
cannot be filled and a business may not be able to produce the goods or services in a timely
and efficient manner. Effective staffing enables a company to quickly turn open positions into
productive team members and increase overall profitability as a result.
A career in human resources staffing is generally a good option for human resource generalists
that have higher than average interpersonal skills. The job titles most often seen are recruiters,
employment specialists and hiring managers. In addition to a solid background
in humanresources procedures, human resource staffing jobs require being resourceful,
adaptable and using a great deal of networking and common sense to source quality candidates
and the patience to work with a variety of challenging clients under tight deadlines.
