There are numerous polls that have been taken over the years and it is agreed upon that approximately 90% of companies in North America utilize staffing companies to either hire temporary workers, direct hires, contact to hires or a combination of the three. While the concept of hiring outside employees for a specific assignment has been around for years, there are many new reasons to contract with professional staffing services. If you are looking to improve operating margins in your business, by looking at your staffing approach is one way of improving your bottom line. Effective staffing is crucial to maximizing profitability in today’s economy.

In most companies labor is the largest cost on your P&L statement. By utilizing ebit Information Systems, you can reduce the number of permanent employees and supplement your staff with trained temporary consultants to meet peak production or one time project demands.

When you use ebit Information Systems for contract consultants, all costs associated with processing and administering payroll and benefits are transferred from your company to us. This strategy can help you to control cost, improve production, and manage risk. Unlike short term direct employees, temporary personnel work through ebit — not you. Consequently, their unemployment claims once their project is done won't affect your rating or your bottom line.

All successful companies are aware that hiring the wrong person can cost a tremendous amount of money as well as potentially affect a host of other issues like company moral, production, etc. Ebit Information Systems follows rigorous screening procedures for both temporary personnel and direct hires candidates. This increases your chances of getting the right candidate the first time. Ebit will provide candidates who not only possess the skills and experience you require, but who also have the personality traits needed to flourish in your work setting.

Overtime and employee benefits are costs that can be eliminated by using ebit Information Systems. On average, employee benefits cost 20 — 25 percent in excess of payroll expenses. Using ebit temporary and contract employees in place of independent contractors will also reduce your employment risks.

Training is another expense that affects your bottom line. It not only shows up in dollars, but in lower productivity and diminished product quality that result from employing inexperienced staff. You can cut training costs and improve quality and productivity by working with ebit Information Systems because we provide FREE training to our consultants. By working closely with your ebit contact, you gain access to candidates who are well trained and have experience in the skills your company needs.
