Flexible Staffing as Recruiting
Flexible staffing makes use of recruiting sources and workers who are not traditional employees. These arrangements use temporary workers, independent contractors, and employee leasing. Decisions as to who should be recruited hinge on whether to seek traditional full time employees or use more “flexible” approaches which might include temporaries, independent contractors or professional employer organizations (PEOs) and “leased” employees. A number of employers feel that the cost of keeping a full-time regular workforce has become excessive and is getting worse because of increasing government- mandated costs. But it is not just the money that is at issue. It is also the number of governmental regulations that define the employment relationship, making many employers reluctant to hire new employees.
