And out of all those candidates who are performing such training, they can then do a final selection of the workforce that they observed to be the most efficient in performing their assigned duties and responsibilities.
• As pointed earlier, as staffing firms today realize that the gap between the demand and recruitment of talent to meet that demand is ever-increasing, they are also implementing revised compensation strategies, along with realizing the hardships associated with such employment. They are providing add on benefits, perks, incentives and allowances to attract the finest talent pool, and also providing them flexibility related to their work to a great extent.
