hiring is hard and time consuming... know when it's time to partner with a staffing agency

Hiring can be one of the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of growing a business. As companies scale, many reach a critical point where their internal hiring capabilities are stretched thin. That’s where a staffing agency like Priority Placements Group steps in—not just to fill roles, but to strategically fuel your team’s growth with top-tier talent. So how do you know when it’s time to bring in help? Here are five clear signs it’s time to partner with a staffing agency.


1. Your Hiring Process Is Slowing Down Growth

If your business is turning down new projects or delaying expansion because you can’t hire fast enough, you’re leaving revenue on the table. According to a report by Glassdoor, the average hiring process in the U.S. takes 23.8 days—and that’s for just one role. Multiply that across multiple openings and you have a serious bottleneck.


How Priority Placements Group Helps:
We streamline hiring by tapping into a pre-vetted pool of qualified candidates. Our recruiters specialize in matching the right person to the right role—fast—so your team can stay focused on growth, not job postings.


2. You’re Struggling to Find Quality Candidates

If you're posting jobs online and only getting unqualified applicants—or worse, none at all—you're not alone. A recent ManpowerGroup study found that 75% of employers report difficulty filling roles due to talent shortages.


How Priority Placements Group Helps:
We actively recruit top talent, not just wait for them to apply. Our sourcing strategies go beyond job boards, reaching passive candidates who meet your exact requirements. That means better candidates, faster hires, and less risk.


3. Employee Turnover Is Costing You Time and Money

High turnover is more than just a headache—it’s expensive. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) estimates that the average cost of replacing an employee is $4,700, but the total cost can range up to 3–4x the position's salary when factoring in lost productivity and onboarding.


How Priority Placements Group Helps:
Our vetting process ensures a strong cultural and skill fit, reducing the risk of turnover. We also offer temp-to-hire and contract options that let you evaluate a candidate’s performance before committing long-term.

5. You Need Specialized Skills That Are Hard to Find

Some roles require niche expertise or certifications that are in short supply. Whether it’s a tech expert, a licensed medical professional, or a seasoned operations manager, these positions can sit open for months if you don’t have the right recruiting support.


How Priority Placements Group Helps:
We specialize in sourcing skilled professionals across a range of industries. With deep market knowledge and an extensive talent network, we can quickly connect you with candidates that meet your exact needs—even for the toughest roles.

If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s time to stop struggling and start scaling. At Priority Placements Group, we’re more than just recruiters—we’re growth partners. We tailor our staffing solutions to fit your business goals, ensuring you get the right talent at the right time.
