Staffing has evolved into a lucrative and diverse space. It has blossomed from a sector known for providing office personnel to fill in for sick or vacationing workers to a major industry vertical that provides a full range of human resource services to virtually every type of business and employer. Staffing for a business can have dramatic effects on the quality of the organization’s work, its retention rates and level of customer service. Making appropriate staffing decisions is one of the most important tasks for a manager or a small business owner as investing on individual and talent is another form of resource investment that can impact the net value of the company exponentially.

Earlier staffing primarily constituted adding staff to an organization and appointing right people in place to help the company accomplish their short term goals or impending project deadlines. However, over the years the staffing industry has upgraded its dynamics as organizations today want the best talent in industry to recruit and retain. Managers and recruiters today are focusing on acquiring talent with specialized skill-sets and experience. This trend also reflects on the learning and development sector for many organizations where cultivating skills and nurturing talent provides a competitive advantage of developing and retaining in-house talent along with a reduction in outsourcing costs.
