4 Ways to Reduce Your Staffing Firm’s Operational Costs

Driving revenue is always important, but your ability to reduce the cost of doing business is equally critical to your firm’s profitability. Every staffing firm is different, but there are commonalities among those that operate the most efficiently and cost-effectively. Consider these proven ideas to evaluate your current processes and identify areas for improvement.

Track Employee Productivity

Do you know who your top performing individuals are? Can you put your hands on the latest data on your fill rates or revenue per desk? Establish metrics and benchmark your staff against them. Give top performers the support they need to continue to excel, train those who are falling behind and make tough decisions about poor fit employees. These steps will serve to improve productivity and morale.

Streamline Processes

Look for inefficiencies in your systems and find methods to improve them. Automate what you can, and consider solutions that allow you to integrate your various front and back office functions. Today’s staffing software can allow you to handle everything from applicant tracking to claims processing to obtaining funding in one simple solution.

Increase Accuracy

If your contractors are still tracking time manually, chances are you are hemorrhaging cash. Keeping track of paper timecards, and getting them verified and approved is time-consuming and often inaccurate. The same goes for invoicing. Do you have a simple system that allows you to track receivables and bill your clients? Look for integrated software that provides employer and employee portals to manage these tasks quickly and accurately online.

Reduce Inefficiencies

Are you certain that efforts are not being duplicated throughout your organization? Are your sales people missing follow-up calls? Are data entry mistakes causing problems? Are you losing track of your documentation? Look for solutions that allow you to touch each action item only once and consolidate your information in one location.
