Your Richmond staffing agency alternative
Hiring a recruitment company in Richmond can set you back financially while handling all your hiring in-house can put too much pressure on your human resources team. There’s a better alternative. You can find vetted talent for your Richmond business faster with Talent Scout.
Virginia’s commerce capital offers jobs in a diverse collection of businesses, including those in the financial, medical, biotechnology, manufacturing, and transportation industries. Experienced independent contractors in fields such as marketing, IT, and design come to Richmond for its thriving economy and range of job opportunities. But with Talent Scout, you’re not just limited to local talent.
You may find attractive candidates amongst the graduates from top colleges and universities in the Old Dominion State, such as the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University. But there are other job seekers outside of RVA who may be the perfect freelancer for your business needs. Talent Scout helps you get connected with the right talent, even if they don’t live in your local area.
What types of talent can I find on Talent Scout?
Talent Scout recruiters bring the experience you would expect from an employment agency at a lower cost. They know how to find top talent for a variety of staffing needs, whether you’re a healthcare company in need of an IT specialist, a light industrial producer looking for a marketing professional, or a financial services business seeking a designer. Talent Scout recruiters have expertise in filling the following roles with the best talent:
- Marketing: Talent Scout can connect you with marketing professionals faster than a recruiting firm at a fraction of the cost. Digital media planners, SEO specialists, content creators, and other talented professionals may have experience working for Richmond companies such as Altria Group and Arko Corp.
- Design and Creative: Richmond is packed with creatives looking for new jobs. Whether you need a graphic designer, composer, or multimedia artist, you don’t need a recruiting agency to find the right fit for your job description. Talent Scout can find you freelance creatives who have experience working for companies such as Markel and CarMax.
- IT and Software Engineering: Talent Scout has alternative staffing agency solutions for information technology openings as well. Whether you’re looking for a software developer, security specialist, or computer technician, you can save time and money on the recruitment process with Talent Scout. Technology professionals in Richmond may have experience working with top firms such as ASGN.
Use Talent Scout to find a freelancer
Recruitment services can take months. But Talent Scout can find you a full-time or part-time contractor in just a few days. That means you can spend less time worrying about filling your job opening and spend more time exploring Richmond, whether that’s taking a stroll through the botanical garden or catching a Raiders game.
You’ll also be able to accomplish your business goals on a budget and find job seekers willing to work flexible hours. Temp agencies, on the other hand, tend to provide candidates hoping for permanent positions. And you’ll enjoy a partnership with our friendly recruiters throughout the process.
Frequently asked questions
By leveraging machine learning and Upwork’s global talent pool, Talent Scout can find you a talented freelancer within days instead of months. And the cost is only about 25% to 35% of what a typical staffing company would charge for inferior service.
Talent Scout goes above and beyond by providing your business with a short list of candidates that have already passed skill certifications. And rather than looking for temp-to-hire work, these candidates will be comfortable with working flexible hours on short-term projects.
That means you’ll get a vetted list of talent more likely to meet your needs. If you’re looking to find a freelancer with the hard skills to independently deliver great work and the soft skills to communicate throughout the project, Talent Scout has your back. So don’t worry about hiring a recruiting agency or asking your administrative assistant to sift through resumes. Contact Upwork today to find out why Talent Scout is the only solution you need.
