Essential Partnerships for Staffing Start-Ups

You have found yourself in the entrepreneurial world of staffing and recruiting. Although things have been going fairly well, you are beginning to find yourself overwhelmed by all of the duties and tasks that running a staffing business requires. It’s time for you to begin delegating and looking for partnerships that will support your staffing firm’s growth, ease of operation, and overall business.

1. Business Partnerships

When looking for a business partnership, seek out a non-competitive, adjacent business that you can forge a mutually beneficial relationship with. These partnerships will increase your growth by expanding your market and accessing potential clients. 

There is a multitude of benefits to a working partnership, including making your company appear bigger than it is. This is especially important for your start-up staffing firm. 

Discuss how your business partnership will work. This can range anywhere from sharing a booth at a trade show to a more complex arrangement such as customer referrals and shared email marketing. Before you dive in head first, it's important that you reach a mutual level of trust and collaboration.

2. Technology Partnerships

Think of the beginning of your staffing firm as laying the foundation for the overall success of your business. Having the right technology for your specific workflow is incredibly important during this time and for years to come. 

In a technology partnership, you’re looking for more than just a vendor. A tech company that caters to the staffing and recruiting world will be able to advise you on the best technology to support what you do. They will recognize your unique needs and work to help you get them covered. 

3. Funding Partnerships

Funding is crucial to staffing growth. This is particularly true of start-ups due to the not-so-uncommon growing pains and unexpected challenges that can occur.

Similar to a technology partnership, a funding partnership can go beyond being simply a vendor and serve as a true ally to your business. Besides advice and seed money, a funding company can scale with you so that you have even growth and financial support in both the good times and the bad.

You don’t have to do it all alone. There are companies ready to support you in your growth, vision, and overall success. Interested in what a successful partnership looks like? Give us a call at (833) 623-4766
