Operating model

The selection agency is looking for candidates based on a specific position. The temporary work provider additionally organises appointments, shifts and settlement for the work done.

Permanent recruitment selection

The agency locates and evaluates the candidate, and the employment contract is made by the client; the agency's remuneration depends on the agreed selection service.

Temporary employment

The agency employs a person and assigns him to work for the client company. It combines the appointment, necessary documents and working time data used for payroll and client account.

Workforce Administration Service

The provider processes the agreed customer's employee documents, schedules or working time data. The contract defines who is the employer and who approves decisions related to the employee.

Direct search of managers and specialists

Confidential presentation of the position and the candidate is carried out in stages; the remuneration can be linked to the search phases, not just recruitment.

Market context

The personnel company can carry out selections, organize the beginning of an employee's work or manage temporary shifts. Clear communication is important to the candidate, and to the client is the right person at the agreed time. Data from these activities are related, but the selection decision and actual appointment of the employee have different rules.

  • Fast FeedbackA long wait for a customer's response can lead to the candidate's withdrawal or prolonged selection.
  • Getting Started PreparationsThe coordinated assignment must be supplemented with the necessary documentation, schedule and information for the employee.

Digital maturity scale

1

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

2

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

3

Partially integrated systems

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

4

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

5

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

The candidate's information and client's requirements must be communicated to the responsible employees in a timely manner. In temporary work accounting, the employee's remuneration and client's fee are calculated according to their individual terms.
