Do you run a Dayton business that regularly experiences seasonal fluctuations in staffing needs? If so, you are not alone. Regardless of the industry, most companies can track their year-through business cycles, with seasonal surges and dips in demand. This can make keeping your teams appropriately staffed throughout the year difficult, but there is help. If you need seasonal admin employees, read on to learn why partnering with an administrative staffing agency in Dayton makes sense.

Why is Temporary Staffing Ideal for Seasonal Needs?

Temporary staffing can be the ideal solution to manage seasonal hiring needs. When you hire someone full-time, you’re committing to that person to keep them on board long-term. When you experience a dip in demand, you’ll still need to pay your full-time employees and find something for them to do.

However temporary staffing doesn’t involve a long-term commitment. You can simply request however many people you need for however long you need them. That could be a single person to cover a key employee’s vacation or a team of support personnel for the entire holiday shopping season. At the end of the contract period, they will move on to other work, allowing you to drop down to your baseline staffing.

What are the Different Types of Temporary Administrative Roles that Support Seasonal Needs?

Any administrative role you can imagine could be filled in a temporary, seasonal capacity. But some types of roles are more commonly filled on a temp basis than others. These include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• Receptionists
• Administrative assistants
• Accounting clerks
• Bookkeepers
• Billing clerks
• File clerks
• Marketing assistants
• Supply clerks
• Front desk agents

In general, many businesses rely on temporary, seasonal staff for lower-level positions that are easier to train, while keeping higher-level and managerial roles staffed full-time. But when your executive assistant goes on parental leave or your office manager resigns without notice, you may need to temporarily fill those roles as well.

How an Administrative Staffing Agency Supports Dayton Businesses with Temporary Staffing Solutions

Temporary administrative staffing agencies offer a variety of benefits for companies that need to quickly staff up their teams. These include:

Providing a Range of Staffing Options

Every company and every role is unique. That’s why one-size-fits-all staffing rarely fits anyone well. Our customized alternatives include not only temporary staffing solutions but also a temp-to-hire option. In this case, you’ll sign a temporary contract as usual, but it will include an option to convert. At the end of the contract, if you and the employee mutually decide that it’s right, we’ll help you onboard that person as a full-time permanent hire. If not, you are free to simply let the contract expire.

Temp-to-hire can be an excellent solution if you don’t yet know whether you need full-time help. Maybe you’ve recently opened a new office and are unsure how many team members you need. Perhaps you’re bringing on an executive assistant for the holiday season and debating whether to keep them on permanently. In these and many other situations, temp-to-hire can serve as a sort of extended working interview while you consider your long-term staffing needs.

We also understand the importance of cultural fit, so we will pair you with employees who not only have the skills and experience you need but will also mesh well with your existing team.

Cost Efficiency

It can be significantly less expensive to hire your seasonal talent through a dedicated administrative staffing agency than to try to find workers on your own. There are several reasons for this, including:

• Up-front costs. When you hire on your own, you’ll face quite a few costs. You’ll need to pay your HR team or managers to write job descriptions, and then pay to place them on job boards. Your HR employees will have to spend time weeding through applications from entirely unqualified candidates and deciding who to move through the process. You’ll absorb all the costs of vetting candidates, from background checks to skills assessments. You’ll also have to conduct interviews, and then incur all the costs of onboarding. Every time you need to bring on seasonal workers, you’ll have to go through the entire process again. But when you partner with an admin staffing agency, you’ll know the costs upfront, with no hidden surprises.
• Maintaining productivity. When your team isn’t fully staffed, it can’t operate at peak efficiency. This can lead to a serious loss of productivity that can end up costing you customers. We can typically provide seasonal admin professionals within just a few days, allowing you to keep your productivity high.
• Business reputation. If you don’t have enough front-facing employees, such as receptionists and front desk agents, your customers will notice. Being short staffed for even a limited period could lead to poor reviews and a loss of business reputation.
