Where Do Staffing Agencies Find Workers When the Market Has None?

where-do-staffing-agencies-find-workers-when-the-market-has-none

It is true that today's labor market largely depends on the employee. The Polish economy needs workers to grow, and many companies cite staffing shortages as one of the main obstacles to achieving their planned productivity. Research conducted by the Gremi Personal Analytics Center shows that this affects 33% of companies in the automotive industry. So one might ask: why do staffing agencies still operate — and promise to find workers quickly? What can these specialized companies do that an in-house HR department cannot?

Let's Start with the Database — the Bigger, the Better

The answer lies in a well-developed candidate database. In the case of Gremi Personal, it comprises 120,000 active, motivated job seekers. This is precisely what allows us to quickly match the right workers, handling anywhere from 150 to 250 recruitments per day.

Wanted — on an International Scale

Of course, an HR department can post a job listing and search for candidates. The question is whether it is logistically and financially prepared for international operations — looking for candidates outside Poland as well. Many companies rely on workers from the East. Hiring Ukrainians, Belarusians, or even Georgian citizens no longer surprises anyone. However, it is far more complex. This is where companies like Gremi Personal have the upper hand. We recruit workers from Ukraine and across Eastern Europe. To this end, we have established partnerships with 600 partner agencies. Multilingual staff — Ukrainians, Belarusians, and others — oversee the processes both in Ukraine and in Poland. In this way, we reach over 14 countries in search of the right workers. Recently, we have also been expanding our search to Asian countries and even South America.

Flexibility That Benefits Everyone

Many industries (such as logistics and HoReCa) are affected by the problem of seasonality. Depending on the time of year, demand for workers rises and falls. Maintaining a large team when that many people are not needed is an additional cost. This is where flexible employment — offered, among others, by Gremi Personal — comes in. We provide full flexibility in scaling the workforce up and down. All it takes is to inform Gremi of the need for a change. Workers that one company no longer needs find employment at another company also served by Gremi Personal. This way, employees enjoy continuous work and income, companies optimize their costs, and we are able to provide staffing support wherever it is needed.

Help That Pays Off

When the local market lacks workers, they sometimes need to be brought in from abroad. Leaving one's home country — even for a better-paid job — always comes with stress and worry about whether everything will work out. Gremi Personal handles the entire relocation process comprehensively. From assistance with travel documents and permits, to arranging medical care and accommodation, to transportation and phone support with the ability to report any problems. A worker freed from everyday concerns can focus on the job, and the reputation of a responsible employer makes future candidates more willing to partner with Gremi Personal — helping us build an even larger pool of potential workers.
