Being in or part of the World's largest economy has its ups and downs. Stiff competition in any field is the norm of this country which leads perhaps in all aspects of the economy. Large and small industries and businesses abound everywhere in America but more so in the big towns. The country has been the leading light of the World thanks to innovation using creativity, a mega infrastructure, and yes persistence.
The USA specializes in nearly all kinds of manufacturing, and information technology and there are innumerable global concerns with size which is unmatched but by a few.
Naturally growth potential of an enterprise is always promising if it can ward off competition and contains the right setup. The export-oriented economy means a widespread manufacturing base which puts a lot of stress on the concerns to be manned by the right people.

Albeit there are opportunities in plenty, job search in the USA is not easy as competition arises from global opportunists or the migrants as well. The country has the policy to regulate migration but nevertheless, in technical and complex information technology fields the fight for the job exists. In order to maintain the status of a leader the Nation needs the right kind of professionals irrespective of nationality. The right mix is necessary for the survival of its businesses. This is where specialized staffing companies step in.
The job search industry is very popular especially with the online presence of sites that assist in recruitment. Albeit online presence is essential for all businesses people to flock to these sites in search of suitable jobs. But they also approach land-based agencies to widen their net. Hence both are essential.
But for prospective job seekers with technical qualifications or information technologies professionals job search companies or staffing agencies fulfill their needs. These are concerns that specialize in preparing, training, and skill development such that they become suitable for the partnering firms with special needs. Thus these kinds of firms are more cohesive and multifaceted in their approach. Not a simple case of maintaining a customized software or a register.
Staffing Process & Recruitment
Difference
First of all, we have to understand the difference between recruitment and staffing. Well, the former is short of a static process wherein a person with the right qualification is selected for a job. The job can come through a direct application, through a job search site, or through a hiring agency. This is usually a one-time activity and is a commonplace occurrence.
As compared to the above staffing is a process. In order to understand this, we have to look at variables that define a high-tech prospective employee. In the first place, most of the prospects are people with adequate or suitable qualifications which attract companies. In another instance, a prospect could be a person with adequate or suitable qualifications along with niche capabilities and capacities. He or she may be a person with training or skill in emerging technologies in fact the niche can come from any ability. Whence staffing experience and culture count a lot.
Yes, the background matters! Companies often look for people with unique characteristics and cultural background that suits their work ethics and working atmosphere. Suitability here may be of extreme importance for many business houses. This is not discriminatory in nature since caste, color and creed are not the basis of selection. But yes the screening process involves checking into many aspects of the candidate that may appear to peek into the privacy but nevertheless, extensive checks are a prerequisite in this case.
The Process of Staffing
The Prospect & The Agency
The Candidate
When a candidate seeks a job he should be qualified as per the University or an institution of repute. He should be holding a degree or a diploma stating his qualifications, performance, and rankings. Unfortunately, the demand in industries is always evolving with the changes taking place in technology and consumer demands. A constant up-gradation hence is a must.
But is this enough? You as a business may be seeking much more in a candidate apart from qualifications. The niche training and cultural attributes should be provided by the agency. That is the agency should have the capability to train, inculcate the necessary values, and accord experience in the niche. This is what makes staffing different from simple hiring.
Though a permanent job may not be waiting for you as a candidate straightway you nevertheless have an opportunity to work on a project on a contract basis or as an agency employee. Thus companies can hire employees on a project basis to save on cost and avoid the hassles that support permanent employment. You as a candidate benefit by gaining in experience and financial support the latter is time-bound.

Why?
Well, a lot of processes are involved to provide staffing solutions to clients.

Remember almost all projects are time-bound and need to deliver. So choose the right concern to provide you with solutions time and again.

Very few but in IT industry employee turnover is high. I have not read about hire to fire in Indian industry.
pateluday, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
Are there positions in Indian companies where there tends to be frequent turnover of employees? They're known cynically as hires to fire and more euphemistically as revolving-door positions in the United States. For example, receptionist jobs may be permanent, may be steppingstones or may be revolving-door.
