Relationships are the key to everything. Whether it is family, business , friends or acquaintances… people are wired in community with one another. Without relationship, there is no way for us to properly navigate this world. It is how we learn how we are similar and how we are different. It is how we learn to live peacefully within those similarities/differences. It is also how we learn to care for one another. What may work well for one person, may not work well for another. The only way to know this is to get to know each person and learn how they operate. What makes them tick? What makes them smile? How to they receive love?

The relationship between a hiring manager (company) and the staffing agency is no different. If the staffing agency doesn’t understand the world you work in; how your office runs, the personalities that make up your team, doctor preferences, etc. how can they properly staff your office?

A good staffing agency will make the effort to get to know you. They will try their best to find out how your office runs so they can choose candidates that will best fit your office. The responsibility also falls on the hiring manager to build a relationship with the staffing agency as well. It can’t be a one way street. The more you get to know the recruiters, the more likely you will get candidates to successfully fit your team.

Cut your efforts in half by building relationship with the staffing agency providing staff for you. They are created to be an extension of you. Let them know how your mind works so they can choose candidates just as you would choose them.
