Time to Outsource Your AR Needs – Staffing Firm Edition

Time to Outsource Your AR Needs – Staffing Firm Edition

How can your staffing firm or temp agency benefit from outsourcing?

Outsourcing often gets a bad reputation that it truly does not always deserve. In reality, outsourcing is nothing more than delegating. When you assign a set of tasks to any person, regardless of where the work will be completed, that can be seen as outsourcing.

There are many small staffing and temp agencies that have one goal in mind: help businesses find the right employees. The employee scouting and qualification process is, in essence, outsourced to the staffing or temp agency. The current economy has harshly affected the creation and support of jobs. Although unemployment rates have dropped to 5.0% (as of April 2016, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics), it’s still not easy for people to find work using traditional or even online job hunting methods. There’s more competition. There are fewer open positions. Staffing firms and temp agencies provide employment options to many who would likely be without work if not for the valuable the opportunities contracted to these companies. Staffing and temp agencies allow individuals the ability to provide not only for themselves, but for their families as well.

As a staffing firm or temp agency, you are in a unique position. You must not only manage your on-site and contracted employees; you must also work with numerous businesses who are looking to contract their employment needs to you. Being in this unique position can lead to some tricky accounts receivable needs. Your employees cannot get paid until the company pays you. Receiving prompt payment is imperative to your businesses success.

It doesn’t just stop there. Your in-house employees get calls about how companies will be invoiced, when their payments will be due, and other billing questions. They need a written set of billing and payment processing policies and procedures to ensure that all questions are answered in the same way.
