Staffing And Temping – Grab the Differentiators

Quick growth and great expansions within a short time frame are challenging situations. The issue gets compounded with the need for quality staff, spanning across a wide range of job skills and educational requirements. – A situation that requires completely new recruitment approaches.

The traditional routes of job advertising, job fairs or internal referral networks are time consuming, may not provide the quality you seek and do not provide employees who are ready to get on to the band wagon and deliver results. In-house corporate recruiters, most often are the lacunae, wanting in skills or tactics to get things done, within the requisite time frames. Outsourced staffing and temping solutions may just be the solution, and TalentPro has been able to cater to a wide range of requirements, meeting aggressive deadlines.

In our experience, we have seen that the market has grown from laying stress only on cost control and flexibility, to being able to choose professional staffing and temping resources that have a clear understanding of the value chain of staffing and temping issues – a development that has augured well in our favour

Considering that today, the need for temps is not restricted to just clerical staff, but spans across all sectors and domains, and at all levels, what should a staffing vendor be capable of delivering? Clearly:

- Maintain service quality

- Able to handle varying government regulations vis-à-vis temps

- Protect intellectual property

- Responsible for addressing security concerns and legal issues

- Address the welfare and training issues

TalentPro has been able to fill these gaps in the market, with its highly professional compliance, recruitment and training departments. Even the way we assess your needs is more inclusive. “To quote an experience with one of our leading MNC clients - we spent a couple of days running around their various departments to understand their work flow, assessed their needs, and had to tweak the job description(JD), they passed on to us. Because the organization was just pulling out the same JD over years, and did not understand that they needed a different set of resources to achieve the market penetration that they were aiming at. We then got them the best fit for the JD, and three months down the line, they were one more in our basket of happy clients,” says P.S. Srikumar, VP(Sales & Marketing) at TalentPro.

TalentPro can be your strategic HR partner. Because we know that a high performing employee is the key differentiator in achieving greater market share, higher penetration and eventual domination in your own domain.

Outsource Payroll and Take Time Off To Dream

We bring more life to people

There are many reasons for which organizations outsource their payroll, to TalentPro.

Most often, it is the cost-cutting and optimization of critical resources that are mandated as the reasons to outsource payroll to TalentPro. But there are many more benefits to outsourcing payroll.

As a small and medium enterprise business owner, there is so much on your plate that you hardly have time for yourself, your family and sometimes you don’t even have quality time that you’d want to spend on your dream enterprise, as most of the time you are lost in the tedium of audits, taxations and payroll management. Outsourcing payroll – a mundane and monotonous but quick-to-get-you-into trouble task – has been the key to many a SMB’s success.

Yes, payroll not only is a time consuming affair, but also has the potential to land you in trouble if the input papers are not in order – because it involves financial statements and not just inputs for filing tax returns. Fringe benefits, keeping track of employee time, employer paid benefits, taxes, wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions are just a few of the terms that you must come to terms with.

Automating the task is just half-the problem solved, but getting a team of people to work on this automated system is something you should be ready for. The best solution for a small and medium enterprise with more than 3 employees to look for, is to outsource their payroll tasks. How do you select your professional payroll vendor?

Look for someone who can assure:

a) data security

b) confidentiality

c) process innovations

d) growth with your growing needs and

e) end-to-end holistic delivery

Talk around, consult with fellow small business owners and zero in on the one who fits your bill. Work out the cost-savings in getting it done in-house and outsourcing, and you may find that there is not just the money you are saving, but you are also likely to give your over-worked staff a reprieve from wearing one more hat.

Make sure that your data is safe in data-centers that are not just technologically superior but come with the right kind of backup and adhere to global standards.

Work with an organization like TalentPro that understands the process of payroll and compliance needs from the various departments, so that they can help you fine-tune your own internal processes and also customize the payroll solution to your needs.

TalentPro’s payroll services comes with all these benefits, plus the flexibility and customization - An optimum mix of services for your payroll will be met, allowing your employees to have an unlimited number of pay rates, job distributions, automatic payments, deductions, and taxes, payments in multiple banks et al. If need be, TalentPro’s payroll system can be integrated with your business’ current accounting software, and it is never the other way round, ensuring a holistic delivery of a bouquet of end-to-end financial services.

For an affordable, efficient and confidentiality-assured payroll partner log on to www.talentproindia.com and shoot us your needs.

We’ll help you take time off to dream.

Temporary Manpower to Permanent

Temporary Staffing Agency
Gone are the days when temporary manpower requirements had to be advertised separately. No more, “black-listing” them – the world, its economy and the way people’s work attitudes have evolved have taken temping to a different plane altogether. Did you know, that 20% of all temporary job listings are temp-to-perm positions and that piece of statistic makes “temping” very interesting, even for the conventional job seekers? There is a complete shift in the mindset of people on how they perceive temps and until now you would’ve come across



Employers Vs Employees

While for many employers, hiring temporary manpower is a way to try out new workers without huge commitment to provide full benefits, for many employees temp jobs have been a springboard to permanent positions, and of course a versatile work experience that they cannot hope to achieve as a regular nine-to-five jobber. For freshers who prefer “work while your study” options, getting groomed to become part of a promotional seasonal work force is a big boon.

The festival shopping season, starting from Dusheera ushers in many opportunities for retailers and shopping malls to engage consumers. The goal is to increase sales and footfalls. Consumers too look forward to festivals or theme based events in malls, as families tend to make it a day of outing and purchases. With a plethora of choices that are available for today’s consumer, the right sales associates are critical to convert the footfalls to incremental sales. TalentPro grooms candidates to become effective sales associates – They are screened for the right skill set, trained in a clear and engaging manner, taught best practices, and are rewarded for results, allowing the brightest field teams in the industry, to become brand ambassadors for our clients’ retail forays.

At TalentPro we:

• Can match up to the economy of scale of our client’s retail ambitions.
• Have the ability to launch new campaigns quickly – Seasonal or otherwise
• Have the experience to build some of the most successful face-to-face campaigns.
• Can deliver serious marketing professionals, with personality.

Mid-Career Placements

In addition, senior professionals who are looking for mid-career changes should consider temping through TalentPro, which has one of the highest success rates in “executive placements.” If you are one of those who believed that it is hard to find a job that is both lucrative and fulfilling, then temping through TalentPro may well shatter this myth. With plenty of opportunities to choose from, professionals can get satisfying work, and still be able to pay their bills in style. These professional are positioned by TalentPro and are trained to focus on completing a project on time – aimed at giving value for the clients, rather than sticking their discussions only to rates and bonuses. With this approach TalentPro has earned a niche as a quality staffing supplier.

Temp staffing can become a platform to choose what a candidate likes. He works, and if he likes what he is doing, then he gets into a temp-to-perm role. Similarly an employer too tries a few candidates on a temporary basis and then chooses the one with the best fit – A win-win situation for all.

Temping is About Longevity

Outsourcing non-core functions like staffing(temping), and focusing on core functions in a tight economy, is the most appropriate route for optimizing an organization’s management bandwidth.

But, immaterial of the trends in economy, recruiting the right candidates with the right skills for the right job is always a challenge. In some sectors, while the number of people available to work has increased, the size of the talent pool has essentially remained the same. In the other sectors, an uncertain economy has created a queasy situation - While on the one hand passive candidates who are currently employed may not consider leaving their current position, on the other, exponential growth of available workers had added to the challenge of finding qualified talent. That’s because regardless of the number of people applying for jobs, the distribution of average, good and great candidates in the talent pool remains unchanged, always.

Recruiting and working with talent that can deliver results and still retaining the luxury of redefining the scope of a job, now and then, with the changing dynamics of an organization can be nerve-racking for the HR department. In such situations HR Temping solution providers like TalentPro can step in to add value to your staffing needs.


Redefining Temping

TalentPro has over the last few years redefined the concept of Temping. No more are “Temps” as they are called, “left-over” candidates. They are specialists and core-skilled personnel from TalentPro’s rolls, who can be hired for short or long periods and who will be willing to remain with the hirer as long as a project lasts.

While regular hiring contractors/agents are focused on finding the person with the right fit – matching roles and responsibilities with requisite skill sets, competencies, and experiences - they make do with whatever is available, when the definition of required skills is too narrow or restrictive, significantly limiting the available qualified talent pool for their clients. And it is also true that most often there is a complete disconnect between the market prevalent skill sets and those demanded by an organization. To cap it all, determining the cultural fit and ability to learn is not something that can be gleaned during initial resume screening.

TalentPro has, thankfully, redefined temping.

TalentPro’s temping solutions focus on candidates with transferable skills, knowledge and capabilities. By identifying people who have developed comparable skills, even if they are from other domains, verticals or occupations, TalentPro has helped clients expand on the available talent pool, helping them meet critical business needs. While other players commoditize temping, TalentPro looks at temping solutions both from the client and the employee make-up.

While clients have a clear realizable ROI, the temps have a clear advantage working through TalentPro. “Over 85 % of the market for temping in India, is driven by sales force, and Talent Pro can significantly deliver meaningful propositions to clients on temping. We approach temping as a program that will help our clients realize a clear ROI,” says P.S.Srikumar, Vice-President TalentPro.

Advantage Client:

Despite the best of intentions, ROI is an unheard of thing in temping, considering that temps also come with a high level of attrition. In India, TalentPro has helped clients cross over this Catch22 situation, by promising temping longevity, by understanding and mapping the program requirements into clear SLAs. Their clients have the advantage of:

o Access to expertise
o Diversity as a reality
o Assurance through a candidate pipeline

“In fact, for some of our clients, we have drawn a clear and effective secondary sales force management programs, that have shown clear ROIs,” shares P.S.Srikumar.

Advantage Candidate:

Candidates, including freshers look for permanency in their employment graph. By offering them an environment of inclusivity, and providing them with training and culturally appropriate practices that deliver competitive organization capabilities, TalentPro directly works on the candidate’s need for longevity on the system.

Fortunately, in some sectors, young people are willing to try out skills and employers, and have found the TalentPro experience invaluable in building their portfolio of skills across functions and hierarchies. By establishing a transparent relationship with the candidate and the client, TalentPro has brought in some premium skills to clients while covering the candidates’ interests on all structured benefits.

As temping is here to stay, the TalentPro association can be about longevity - for both the client and the candidate.
