Staffing
Staffing is the practice of finding, evaluating, and establishing a working relationship with future colleagues on a project. Staffing involves
finding people, who may be hired or already working for the company (organization).
The issues are very similar to hiring, but tend to on shorter and smaller projects. Staffing is usually overseen by a project manager, while hiring is usually overseen by a human resources manager.
Staffing can also refer to the industry and/or type of company that provides the functions described in the previous definition for a price. A Staffing company may offer a variety of services, including temporary help, permanent placement, temporary-to-permanent placement, long-term and contract help, managed services (often called outsourcing), training, human resources consulting, and PEO arrangements, in which a staffing firm assumes responsibility for payroll, benefits, and other human resource functions.
The term Staffing Company has replaced the term Temporary Service.
