Abstract
I interned with Planman HR Pvt Ltd, (Human Resource department). It is located in
Koramangala 4
th
Block, Bangalore and is a temp staffing company, involved in theactivities of Recruitment and Payroll.
The primary goal of doing this internship was to get a real-time insight into the
working of an organization. The major accomplishment for me during my tenure of
two months internship was recruiting a team Lead for Idea Cellular, who happens to
be one of our clients. This one was special in particular as even experienced
recruiters were facing difficulty in recruiting for the particular position.
The staffing industry today works in an exceedingly dynamic business environment,
perhaps the most transformational phase the industry has seen from the time of its
evolution. It no longer functions solely in the capacity of replacing absentee workerswith temporary ones, but has slowly emerged as a strategic partner for its clients by
providing an entire package of employment solutions and services.
The staffing industry has seen a huge swing towards recruiting professionals from
varied streams such as Finance, Sales, Engineering, Information Technology and
Management. While this trend provides myriad opportunities for growth, it has also
bought a set of unique challenges with it. Hence the growth challenges are customer
retention, serving new industries, applicant loyalty, soaring operational cost due to
disintegrated systems in usage, high percentage of manual effort involved in the
process of matching the right person with the right job there by prohibiting a quick
response to the customer for an order and integration of the business process across
geographies. These challenges needs to be addressed by a Go-To- Market solution
that provides a real-time visibility into opportunities and resources, finding, bringing
and retaining the best talent across the globe, managing clients, applications and
orders from a single source, fully integrated to manage both the front office and back
offices seamlessly and inculcates the best industry practices so to deliver the high
quality service thereby adding more value to the customers while reducing the costs
and maximizing profitability.
Organization Structure:
Mr. Suresh Kumar (Branch Head), he heads the Recruitment team and the
Operations / Payroll team.
Under Recruitment the senior most is Ms. Rajeshwari who is the team lead for the
recruitment team with six team members under her.
Under Operations / Payroll Ms. Shaila is the senior most team member with two more
team members.
The organizational environment was quite conducive for working and each memberworked with co-ordination and co-operation with one another.

The process being followed:
First Recruitment team lead will follow up with the clients requirements and then the
requirements will be forwarded to the recruitment team, who will follow up with the
recruitment process. After the candidate has been shortlisted by the recruitment
team, the work of the retention executive starts, she is concerned with following upthe process starting from the candidate going for interview till final joining. After the
recruitment process is completed the work of Operations / Payroll team starts. They
are concerned with activities like issuing joining letter to the candidates, complying
with joining formalities, exit formalities and claims of the candidate once he / she
quits the organization and following up the salary process of candidates for the client
organization.

work agency to send temporary workers, or temps, on assignments to work at their
companies. Temporary employees are also used in work that has a cyclical nature,
requiring frequent adjustments to staffing levels.
Temporary Staffing highlights each applicants skills, talents and experience. Their
selection involves developing a list of qualified candidates, defining a selectionstrategy, identifying qualified candidates, thoroughly evaluating qualified candidates
and selecting the most qualified and efficient candidates.
It is said if the right person is appointed at the right place and at the right time half the
work has been done. This project is an attempt to cover all the important points that
should be kept in mind while recruiting and selecting temporary employees. A
research has been conducted to identify the various issues related to recruitment and
selection of temporary employees and other vital informations. The final objective of
the research being to reach at a conclusion as to why in some cases recruitment is
not hundred percent successful, what are the various method used for recruiting the
candidates and on what basic the selections is done.
Planman HR has a well-articulated equal opportunity policy, which lays strong
emphasis on hiring of individuals irrespective of age, race, caste or gender, in
particular requirement of the client organization a noble practice in recruitment.
Why use temporary staffing services?
A large percentage of all business expenses are related to recruitment, hiring,
turnover, benefits and absenteeism. Temporary Staffing provides recruitment andstaffing solutions for temporary employees and other forms of flexible staffing, with
five ways to slash costs and optimize human resource ROI.
Absenteeism Savings- Clients pay only for the work that is performed by the
temporary employees.
Turnover and Recruitment Costs Savings- The employment agency manages all
employee recruitment and turnover activity.
"As Needed" Hiring- Clients use temporary staff during peak business periods,
eliminating high payroll expenditures during low business periods.
Overtime Savings- Clients can save on high overtime costs and maintain peak
production by having additional temporary employees working shorter hours and / or
during peak busy hours.
Training Cost Savings The agency tests applicants knowledge, skills, personality
and can provide some job specific training, which is a great cost reduction for the
company.
What is temporary help?
The Temp Staffing Company hires temporary employees and assigns them to work
as part of a client's workforce for a particular / fixed duration of time. It is concerned
with maintaining the employer-employee relationship, and is responsible and

Indus Business Academy Page 11
obligated as the employer, throughout the employment period. A business agreement
is created with the client that sets out a service fee and includes a guarantee period
as client insurance.
Temporary to permanent employment
When a client conveys to the staffing company that a temporary employee
assignment may convert into a permanent employment with the company, the
agreement for this type of service is based on a combination of the length of the
temporary assignment and a permanent placement fee.
As an employment agency, the firm goes beyond expectations before, during
and after every placement to ensure a good fit.
The search process in employee recruitment can be lengthy and varies in its
complexity and scope. Based on a client's expectations and specifications, the
following steps are taken that should be performed by an employment agency
providing recruitment solutions on behalf of the client company:
Setting up meetings with prospective employees and hiring managers to understand
the recruitment and staffing needs.
Performing extensive research and networking.
Doing media and web advertising.
Performing assessments, evaluations and interviews with potential candidates.
Facilitating personality profiling to determine the correct fit for the individual and the
company.
Negotiating on behalf of clients and candidates.
Preparing and counseling candidates.
Scheduling and preparing clients and candidates for interviews.
Performing reference checks, and credit checks when required.
Ensuring continuous follow-through after a placement.
The firm may also provide temporary solutions on a project basis, for short-term
assignments, and payroll.
Project-based temporary staffing
When a firm has specialized projects, which are different from the core operational
activities, it is not wise to hire specialists on permanent contracts and to release them
after the project finishes. In such cases the staffing firm helps businesses to develop
project-based staffing strategies and secure the most highly-qualifiedemployees. With its extensive resources and expert recruitment solutions, the

agency can connect the firm with the people it needs to overcome the unique
challenges and make the business more successful.
Short-term temporary assignments
Staffing is one of the largest cost components of operations. The agencys bottom
line depends on its ability to manage labor costs effectively. The companies that
overstaff with full-time employees to address peaks in operations will be operating at
reduced efficiency when workloads return to normal, resulting in higher labor costs,
increased costs per unit and lower profits. This is when the company needs
employees for short term production or other operations assignments, where Temp
staffing firms come in handy.
Payroll
In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries for an employee,
wages, bonuses and deductions. It refers to the amount paid to employees for
services they provided during a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a
company for several reasons.
Payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net
income of most companies and they are subject to laws and regulations. From an
ethics in business viewpoint payroll is a critical department as employees are
responsive to payroll errors and irregularities. Good employee morale requires the
payroll department to process and pay salaries timely and accurately. The primarymission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid salaries /
wages accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and to
ensure the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This
includes salary payments, tax withholdings and deductions.
Payrolling eliminates the paperwork, reporting, and administrative burden of human
resource management. For many small to medium-sized companies, these services
provide key managers the freedom to focus on those activities that are most critical
to the success of their businesses.
What is the Payroll process?
1. Meeting among the firms, current employer and future employer
2. Transfer of data required for signing of labor agreements
3. Termination of labor relations with the current employer
4. Preparation of the new labor agreements
5. Signing the labor agreements
6. Transfer of mobile equipment
7. Transfer of bonus package

Industry Profile
What is a Temporary Staffing Company?
Temporary Staffing company employment refers to employment where people are
employed by a staffing agency, and then hired out to perform the work at (and under
the supervision of) the user company. There is no employment relationship between
the staffing agency employee and the user company, although there could be legal
obligations of the user company towards the staffing agency worker. The staffing
agency offers employees a fixed duration employment contract. The employment is
often called temporary work, temping or temporary staffing. The hiring firm pays
fees to the staffing company, and the staffing company pays the wages. Flexibility for
both employee and employer is a key feature of agency work.
Mandatory Features and Practices of Staffing Companies
1. Staffing Companies cannot charge employees for finding work
2. Staffing companies must adhere to all labor laws of the land e.g.:
3. Temporary Staffing Companies mandatorily covers each employee with all
statutory Employee benefits as is due to them and as per the statutes laid down in
India. For e.g. each employee is covered under Minimum Wages and in most cases
are paid wages at par with the prevalent market range for the specific job. Each
employee is paid PF and has ESIC coverage as laid down in the statutes.
4. As a mandatory practice each temporary staffing company generates and
distributes pay slips for each and every temp employee.
5. As a mandatory practice each temporary staffing company needs to run accurate
payroll system.
Best Practices of Staffing Companies
1. Cover the temp workers under additional Group Medical claim and personal
accident insurance coverage. This is over and above their coverage under ESIC.
2. Facilitates opening of Bank Accounts / Payroll Cards for the Temp Workers and
each Temp Worker is either paid salary through an account payee check or through
direct bank transfer into their accounts.

3. Organize rewards and recognition programmes for their high performing temp
workers in consultation with the User Companies.
4. Providing temp workers with ongoing support to address their issues or concerns
around their employment.
5. Provide skill development opportunities to the temp workers in consultation with
the user companies.
Temporary staffing set to soar in India
Temporary staffing is fast emerging as a key hiring strategy for Indian companies and
the segment is poised for strong growth over the next few years.
Temporary staffing is fast emerging as a key hiring strategy for Indian companies.
Salaries for temporary jobs are fast catching up with that of permanent ones as more
organizations look to hire temporary staff. Not only have companies in India opened
up to temping as a concept they have started rewarding talent, skills and longevity.
The gap between average temporary and permanent salaries has narrowed over the
last few years.
The depression in 2008-09 did have an impact on the temp staffing industry, but it did
recover well clocking double digit growth year-on-year.
"Today skill is being rewarded well and companies do not mind going that extra mileto ensure that they have the right talent at their disposal. With more and more
traditional sectors recognizing temping as a key people staffing strategy, the
trajectory is clearly in the direction of growth in hiring and salary increments".
Another interesting outcome is the evolution of sectors like healthcare, pharma and
more importantly telecom and energy that hire temp staff in large numbers.
Global Temporary Staffing Industry Size and Agency Revenue
The International Staffing Industry has been growing considerably over the last few
years.
The top 5 countries in terms of temporary worker base in Europe are UK, Germany,
France, Netherland and Italy.

PORTERS FIVE FORCES IN THE TEMPING INDUSTRY
Temping is defined as hiring workers for a specified duration or on a project basis,
rather than recruiting them on a permanent basis. A 'temp' works for a clientcompany, but is on the payroll (rolls) of the staffing company.
Many big multinational companies are attracted to this solution because it reduces
the worry of candidate recruitment, cost of training, high salaries and retirement
benefits. This kind of a scenario is especially advantageous to the company if they
have short term requirement for a particular group of skilled people. Also this
situation saves them from paying salaries to staff that is currently on the bench.
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
17/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 17
From an employee's perspective this industry is favorable since it allows the
unemployed to find the appropriate job for them, also it allows freshers to avoid
resume gaps and make a little money. Moreover a large percentage of the temp's
finally get recruited by their client company on the basis of their work.
1. Threat of new competition
Today, the organized Indian temping industry stretches across manufacturing,
consumer durables, retail and the automobile sector. Favorable conditions have
lowered the barrier of threat for new entrants thus attracting new entrants to this
industry.
Reasons:
i. Product differences are low since most of the companies give training to
the students based on the industry demand.
ii. Capital requirements for setting up a staffing company are low.
2. Threat of substitute products or services
The temping industry was born as a substitute for the actual hiring of employees.
Currently the threat of substitute products is high however with increasing economic
down trend and frequent market fluctuations, the threat of substitute products /
services is decreasing but at a very slow pace.
Reasons:
i. Actual recruitment of permanent employees is high.
ii. The temping industry cannot completely wipe out the organized sector.
iii. However it is a trend that is catching up slowly and steadily.
3. Bargaining power of customers (buyers)
In this case the customers are the large MNC's who opt for services from staffing
companies. Large companies do have the upper hand in case of the bargaining
power of customers.
Reasons:
i. Buyer volume is also high, since majority of the companies recruit temps
in large batches depending on the size of the project.
ii. The Product differences are low.
iii. The Brand identity is high.
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
18/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 18
4. Bargaining power of suppliers
The suppliers in this case are the people that are hired by the staffing agency. Unlike
regular staffers who take the same monotonous route to work every day, meet the
same people and deal with the same problems day after day, temps have a different
job every six to eight months. They change offices, meet new co-workers, even havea new boss ever so often. However they receive few or no worker benefits. Temps
are the first to be dumped in a recession / slowdown even though they are among the
first to be hired when there is an uptick in the economy. Also it depends on the
unemployment rate in the country. For a country having higher unemployment rate
the bargaining power of the suppliers will be even lower. Recently by government
policies the salary scale was improved for the temps, which can be viewed as a
positive step in improving their status. On the whole however the suppliers can be
seen to have less bargaining power with respect to the current scenario.
Reasons include:
i. The Differentiation of inputs is low.
ii. Presence of substitute inputs is high because majority of the companies
still go in for hiring of permanent employees.
iii. Supplier concentration is high.
iv. Importance of volume to supplier is low since the supplier in this case is
the unemployed citizens of India.
5. Intensity of competitive rivalry
Demand for temporary workers has been fueled by companies looking for greater
workforce flexibility, faced with fast-paced market changes, including changes in
consumer demands and shorter product life cycles. This has led to the growth of
quite a few companies like the Team Lease, Kelly Services, Manpower, Ma Foi,
Randstad, Planman HR etc in India. As of now the intensity of competitive rivalry is
low. The temporary staffing industry continued to clock double-digit growth, of up to
20 per cent in terms of salary hikes over the last five years, the 2008-09 recessions
being the only exception. The gap between average temporary and permanent
salaries has narrowed considerably.
Reasons Include:
i. Product differences are low since all the temps before recruitment by the
client organization are trained in the necessary technologies.
ii. Diversity of competitors is low since as of now only a handful of firms have
established themselves in this industry.
iii. Corporate stakes are high.
iv. The exit barriers are low.

Analysis and Interpretation
There is no doubt that the world of work is rapidly changing. As part of an
organization, HRM must be equipped to deal with the effects of the changing world ofwork. This means understanding the implications of globalization, technology
changes, workforce diversity, changing skill requirements, continuous improvement
initiatives, contingent workforce, decentralized work sites and employee involvement
are the issue for confront. It is a big challenge for the HRM department to support the
organization by providing the best personnel for the suitable position in shortest
possible time.
Starting with getting the requirements list till final planning, recruitment and selection
for them is a great task. Moreover selecting and attracting the suitable candidates in
time is a challenge.
The cost of recruitment is significant. So, proper planning and putting those plans into
action is the task that require more focus and improvement. Equal opportunity and
sourcing is also a vital part.

Issues, Global and National Overview
Temporary staffing agencies provide solutions to their client's personnel problems by
providing a short-term work force that consists of skilled workers available at amoment's notice. There are many factors that affect a staffing company's success,
including employee work ethics, the staffing company's reputation, ethical issues,
including competition, global and local political condition and the economy.
Issues relating to the Temp Staffing Industry
1. No-Shows: One of the most challenging aspects of running a temporarystaffing agency is employees failing to arrive on the job site. Commonlyreferred to as "no-shows," this is the fastest way to lose a top client. No-
shows are most common on short-term assignments that provide noopportunity for a permanent or long-term position. The key to minimizing no-shows is to build a strong team of employees that can be counted on,regardless of the length of the assignment.
2. Reputation:A temporary staffing company is only as good as the temporaryemployees it sends to its clients. Many agencies focus on volume rather thanhigh quality employees. Unfortunately, bad news spreads rapidly and a fewsimple hiring mistakes can cause a major road block for future businessgrowth. If a difficult employee creates a situation on a job site, prompt andprofessional attention to the situation is the best way to protect the staffingagency's reputation.
3. Ethics: Some clients will have unethical requests, such as not hiring minorityor disabled employees. It is a staffing company's legal and ethicalresponsibility to meet all Equal Employment Opportunity requirements. Theseunfortunate and common requests are not only unethical, but also illegal.Other staffing companies may be willing to take the chance by hidingunethical practices. It is always best to leave these types of clients for thecompetition, regardless of the potential profits.
4. Competition: Areas that have a high concentration of potential clients alsotend to have a large number of temporary staffing agencies. This type ofcompetition can be fierce, and a common strategy many staffing agenciesuse is significant underbidding. While there may be the occasional client thatfeels negotiating a lower-than-standard fee is worthwhile due to volume, thispractice should be avoided as it lowers the profit margins throughout theentire market over time. Setting minimum fees and standing by that price maycost a staffing company a few low paying clients. However, the clients that dopay a reasonable fee are the companies the staffing agency should strive toserve.
5. Economy: Many industries are greatly affected by fluctuation in the economy.An example of this is the construction industry, which is directly tied to thehousing industry. When the economy is suffering, the demand for new homes
declines. This has a trickle-down effect that will leave a temporary staffingagency that only works in construction with no assignments for their
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
39/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 39
employees. Diversifying the staffing agency's specialties is the best way toprotect the bottom line. With industry diversity, a staffing company can shiftemployees from a slow moving industry to one that actively requires atemporary workforce. For example, construction workers without availableassignments due to lack of new home construction often can be placed in
warehouse or manufacturing positions.
Staffing Companies: The Global Experience
Staffing companies globally support companies and workers in adapting to seasonal
changes in the economy. The increase in structural changes in recent years has
brought a new set of challenges to economies and labor markets.
Globalization, demographic evolution, unpredictability and complexity combined with
new attitudes to work have resulted in economies across the world experiencing
deep structural shifts. For labor markets, the consequences are severe: persistent
high level of unemployment (which hits young people disproportionately hard), the
need for new skills for new jobs, low occupational and geographic work mobility, a
risk of segmentation of labor markets, low labor market participation rates (especially
for women and older workers) and the need to reconcile diverse forms of labor
relations with decent working conditions. According to the report staffing companies
are well placed to enable adaptation to these structural changes. With its
international reach and specialized market knowledge, the sector facilitates
adaptation to change in labor markets that are becoming increasingly complex,
volatile and unpredictable.
Some of the key observations made in the study are:
Higher the agency work penetration rate, lower the unemployment rate.
ermanent contracts.
te to reducing undeclared work.
eople to enter and stay in labor markets. Agency
work is often their first opportunity to gain work experience.
.
Staffing Companies: The Indian Experience
In India, where the labor market is highly fragmented, organized employment (based
on formal, written employment contracts) has been stagnant for many years leaving
unorganized employment (without written employment contracts or undeclared)
jobless. By creating new, formal job opportunities each year, the temporary staffing
industry plays a key role in reducing both unemployment and undeclared work. Forthe workers, the industry provides decent work, safe working conditions and a
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
40/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 40
reassurance that they will be paid. The contract duration of a typical temp job in India
varies between 2 months to 18 months this is very close to the global mean
duration of 3 months to 24 months.
In emerging markets such as India, where employability is a significant problem,
Temporary Staffing firms are serving a crucial role.
As the area of human resource management becomes more strategic and more
global, recruitment, especially of temporary employees is becoming more important
and critical to the organization. While most companies seem to have recognized this,
there are some that are lagging behind. As a consequence they are doing many
things that would make their management of human resources as effective as
possible. In doing so doing, some of the things that are being observed are:
1) The roles that the HR department and its HR professionals have traditionally
played are changing substantially;
2) The competencies required by the HR professionals to play these new roles are
also changing rapidly with dramatic implications for the current HR staff and leaders;
3) The HR professionals are working more closely, in partnership, with line
managers, employees, suppliers, representatives of labor unions, strategic partners,
members of community organizations and placement consulting firms in order to be
more effective in managing the firms human resources; and finally,
4) The structure of the HR department and the HR function are being reshaped in
order to better serve the various stakeholders of HR in order to make the
management of people and the organization more effective.
Objective of the study
1. Champion sustainable growth of the Staffing Industry
2. Provide an authoritative voice to the Staffing Industry
3. Establish quality standards for the Staffing Industry at large and a code of conduct
for the members
4. Increase visibility and enhance the image of the Staffing industry and strengthen
its representation
5. Promote Staffing as an effective enabler of socio-economic growth
6. Developing Staffing Industry as a choice of employment

Findings and Recommendations
1. Fragmented Market Space
Indian staffing industry is very fragmented, clustered mainly around the metro
political cities and IT hubs leaving a large geographical landscape un-assed.
Recommendation
This is a disguise in boon as the fragmented market space provides an opportunity
for the staffing firms to grow by consolidating particularly in fragmented markets by
strategic acquisitions. Moreover, the process is accelerating as general staffing
companies are seeking a stronger foothold in the professional staffing markets in
order to achieve a more diversified service range and access to the more profitable
specialist segments.
2. Deregulation
The regulatory framework of labor market creates a significant influence on
the staffing market size and growth rates.
Recommendation
There is a direct relationship between the regulatory frameworks of labor markets
and staffing market size more flexible labor markets lead to higher penetration
rates for the staffing industry.
3. Economic Environment
Demand for HR services is sensitive to changes in the level of economic
growth. In good times, when GDP expands, demand for temporary
employees increases. In a downturn, companies tend to reduce their quota of
temporary employees before permanent staff, resulting in lower revenues for
the staffing business, with a negative impact on profitability and the financial
position.
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
42/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 42
Recommendation
Given the importance of the staffing industry, it is important that management at
country level is aware of economic developments in order to adapt the cost base to
revenue trends. Corporate and regional management need to maintain an active
dialogue so that capacity can be judged as and when necessary. Close monitoring of
monthly results and update forecasts ensures a rapid response to business
developments.
4. Client attraction and retention
The staffing firms business potential and long-term profitability depends on
attracting and retaining clients. Client satisfaction breeds loyalty and leads to
consecutive assignments. Failure to provide this is a business risk.
Recommendation
Staffing firms can conduct a local client satisfaction survey with management-defined
short-term targets. The results will help to draw up strategies and gear the services to
client needs. In addition staffing firms can also continue to review and improve thedelivery model.
5. External Talent attraction and retention
The success of staffing firms depends on their ability to attract and retain
external talent who possess the skills and the experience to meet clients
staffing needs. With talent shortages in certain sectors and intensive
competition for skilled individuals, providing suitably qualified candidates is
both a challenge and a risk. The continued success of staffing business
depends on the ability of the staffing firm to offer attractive conditions to retain
colleagues.

8. Efficient Order Management
Manual processes can be challenging for a single-office company. Yet for a
company that operates in multiple locations, manual processes can become
cumbersome. This can significantly inhibit the ability to fill job orders quickly
and, ultimately, grow the business.
Recommendation
The staffing solution provides a single source for managing and viewing job orders
and assignments, thus eliminating the need to search through stacks of handwritten
job orders and assignments to understand the pipeline or track down a recruiter to
get the status of an order.
9. Front to back Integration
Different systems create multiple versions of information that impede the
ability of a staffing firm to manage the business efficiently. Decentralized
information prevents the employees from having real time visibility into
available resources, open orders and client requests. And this in turn
prevents from having real time insight into the pipeline, cash flow and
business trends.
Recommendation
The staffing solution completely integrates the front and back-office systems to
provide a consistent, centralized data source for clients, applicants, orders, projects
and billing information. The firms employees can easily view and share the same
data directly from a web browser. By connecting employees throughout the
organization to a single source of information, efficiency can be increased
dramatically, reducing errors and eliminating redundancy.
10. Powerful Search and Match Capabilities
One of the most important tasks for a staffing firm is to find the best resource
for a job. Even with an ample pool of job orders and a top-notch pool of
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
45/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 45
resources, staffing firms may not realize the full potential for profitability
unless they efficiently and effectively match the resource to the job profile.
Recommendation
The staffing front office solution delivers the extensive search and match capabilities
that make it easier to find the right person for any job based on skills, location,
availability and billing rate from a single labor pool. It not only increases the
operational efficiency but also reduces the risk of losing business to competitors.
11. Simplified Workforce Management
Good recruiting means finding, bringing on board, and retaining the best
talent. It means quickly identifying the right person for a job without paying
fees for skills that already exist in the system. This problem can be overcome
if the staffing firms can source across geographic areas.
Recommendation
The staffing solution provides the ability to the staffing firms to manage their pool of
employees, subcontractors and applicants in a single, centralized repository while
minimizing duplicate entries and non-fictional information. Thereby staffing firms can
easily track and update a resources skills and availability anywhere anytime to
enhance their sourcing process.
12. Scalable Architecture
Large clients are increasingly expecting the staffing solution providers to
manage all their staffing and human resource services needs to achieve
greater efficiencies, coat savings and quality of service. As growth in the
staffing industry today is being driven by new business models like single-
source partnering and vendor-on premise contracts, it becomes essential that
the staffing firms equip themselves to provide their clients with consistent,
high-quality service across states.
7/27/2019 Sip report of Planman HR (Temp Staffing)
46/51
Temporary Staffing & Payroll of Planman HR
Indus Business Academy Page 46
Recommendation
The staffing solution not only provides the staffing firms with international expansion
capabilities but also supports the multinational client operations. It handles multiple
currencies, multiple languages, global payroll and billing functions and local
employment laws, so that staffing firms can execute on the international staffing
objectives effortlessly. It can also scale to support the staffing firms operations round
the world, with employees requiring only a simple web brouser to access the
information they need.
13. Proactive Relationship Management
Each day a staffing firm employee spends on an average about 40% to 60%
of their time at administrative tasks such as reminders and to-do lists. These
tasks are no doubt important to manage the client accounts, but they also
take the time away from developing deeper and more meaningful client
relationships.
Recommendation
The staffing solution streamlines the client administration process by using delivered
templates and empowering clients with online self-service, thereby allowing the
staffing firm employees to spend more time on the development of each client into a
more profitable, long term business partner.
14. Use of Technology for Staffing Industry
Staffing firms use technology mainly for optimizing costs and gaining strategic
outcomes such as enhanced service delivery.
On the other hand staffing companies must balance the desirable outcomes
with the challenging consequences of technology implementation such as
training costs and misalignments between software and strategy that can
threaten the bottom line

rapidly. The benefits provided by it both to the companies and workforce are a lot
which are very helpful for a growing economy like India. The industry improves
efficiency of the system because organisations can focus on their core businesses
and takes care of the seasonal fluctuations. Companies are also accepting this
method of temporary staffing because it helps them get away with labour issues.
Temporary staffing seems to be a change for good but there are some challenges
ahead of the industry also. Changes are required in labour legislations to conform
them to contemporary economic changes. Employment of temporary employees in
core activities with lesser remuneration as compared to permanent employees
creates rift and must be controlled.

Apart from this, there is a need for the principal employers to understand that
temporary staffing provides them staffing flexibility and should not view it as a means
to exploit labour which in the long run can affect the productivity and competitiveness
in todays knowledge economy.

Glossary
Temporary employee
A temporary employee is defined as an employee whose job only lasts for a limited
time or until the completion of a project.
'A permanent employee is guaranteed continuing work. They can stay in their job
until they decide to leave or their employer makes them redundant.
Some seasonal workers have long-term relationships with a particular employer and
return to the same job each season, and therefore may believe they have a
guarantee of continuing work. Nevertheless, employees in seasonal jobs are
classified as 'temporary' in the main survey outputs and in this paper because their
job does not provide continuous work around the year.
Temporary employment agency worker
A temporary employment agency worker is defined as a temporary worker who is
paid by, or through, a temporary employment agency and placed by this agency to
perform work at the premises of a third party customer enterprise, that is, someone
other than the business enterprise that pays their wage or salary.
Casual worker
A casual worker is defined as a temporary worker who only works when their
employer asks them to, on an as-needed basis, whose work is typically done in shortepisodes. A casual worker may be asked to work a shift, for a few days or, less often,
for several weeks at a time. Casual workers do not have any guarantee of regular
ongoing work.
Fixed term worker
A fixed term worker is defined in the survey as a temporary employee who is hired
until a fixed date or until a project has been completed. This includes replacement
workers who are employees contracted to temporarily replace another employee who
is absent on leave.
Seasonal worker
A seasonal job is a job that only exists at certain times of the year, because the work
does not need to be done year round. Whether a job is seasonal is reasonably clear
cut in some industries (such as fruit picking or meat processing). In others, it can be
unclear. For example, people who are employed to work during school terms (and
are not paid at other times of the year) are technically doing seasonal work, but they
may not see themselves as seasonal workers. Classification within the Survey of
Working Life relied on self-definition.
