The recent trend in the staffing policy of many companies in the economic crisis is Custom Staffing and this is done mainly as a cost cutting measure. There will be various types of work available in a firm and Custom Staffing enables the firm or a manger to select for the jobs that are being carried out and most part of the firms operations might be shut down by analyzing the profitability of the particular unit and on custom or shift basis, the machines will be operated and in such firms Custom Staffing is very vital. The shift basis was first introduced in the manufacturing sector and Custom Staffing was introduced in the manufacturing sector but it got popular in the information technology sector and especially in the Business process outsourcing (BPO) sector where night shifts are very usual and common and most of the employees working in the BPO industry and companies are females and earn a good money. The Custom Staffing companies and Custom Staffing management consultants grew on a large scale with the sudden spur of the BPO companies and most of the staffing needed to hire in the BPO companies are arranged by the Custom Staffing companies which are functioning as a stand along companies with the main task of hiring employees for BPO and various other sectors. Man power recruitment is very popular from the olden days but most of the employees are hired on the referrals but now with the emergence of the information technology as the main industry behind the economic growth of nations, there is a huge demand for talent and Custom Staffing companies like monster, times jobs, shine etc have emerged to provide man power to the companies. These websites will list all the vacancies available in the local area and inform the candidates of the various vacancies in companies. These Custom Staffing companies act as a middle man between the candidate and the employer and the main revenue for these companies come from the commission that they obtain from both the parties after a successful hire is made. In the recent days, the Custom Staffing companies have stopped getting commission from the candidates and for some high profile jobs, these companies or individual consultants get the first 3 months salary of the candidate and receive a lump sum amount from the employer also and the role played by these firms in hiring candidates is getting more and more significant.
