In today’s rapidly changing business environment, employing foreign workers has become a crucial element of the staffing strategies for many companies. According to forecasts for 2025, the demand for skilled temporary workers is expected to grow by an additional 40%, especially in production, logistics, construction, and services sectors. Given these trends, partnering with a professional employment agency is no longer optional but essential for companies aiming to stay competitive.
Preparation for Collaboration – The Key to Success
Effective collaboration with a licensed temporary employment agency requires proper preparation on the employer’s part. The foundation is a precise definition of recruitment needs. Experience shows that the more detailed information the agency receives, the better-matched candidates it can present.
Key information to prepare before starting the collaboration:
- A detailed profile of desired employees (qualifications, experience, language skills)
- Employment terms and offered benefits
- Specifics of the work environment and organizational culture
- Anticipated scale and schedule of employment
- Accommodation and transportation possibilities for employees
Collaboration with an Agency in Practice
A professional temporary employment agency becomes an extension of a company’s HR department, providing not only recruitment services but also comprehensive support for the employment process. In today’s market realities, flexibility and speed of action are particularly valued. Employment agencies have extensive candidate databases and networks, enabling them to respond swiftly to staffing needs. Efficiency indicators for agency collaboration in EU countries show that companies using their services reduce recruitment time by an average of 60% and hiring costs by up to 40%. It’s no surprise that in Western Europe, over 75% of large enterprises regularly partner with employment agencies to source temporary foreign workers.
Industries with the Greatest Potential
Forecasts for 2025 indicate particularly dynamic growth in demand for temporary workers in the following market sectors:
- Manufacturing industry (growth of 45%)
- E-commerce and logistics (growth of 60%)
- Construction (growth of 35%)
- HoReCa sector (growth of 30%)
- Agriculture and food processing (growth of 25%)
These significant increases primarily stem from ongoing process automation, which paradoxically boosts the need for skilled temporary workers to operate advanced production lines and logistics systems. The dynamic growth of e-commerce drives staffing needs across the entire supply chain, from warehouses to last-mile delivery. In the construction sector, the growing number of infrastructure and residential projects requires flexible access to skilled labor, particularly during peak activity periods.
Benefits of Collaborating with an Agency
Outsourcing recruitment to a professional temporary employment agency offers not only time and resource savings but also legal security – all formalities related to employing foreign workers are handled in compliance with current regulations. Agencies provide comprehensive service, from candidate verification to legalizing residence and work.
Modern employment agencies offer much more than recruitment, including:
- Verification of candidates’ qualifications and experience
- Organization of arrival and accommodation
- Introductory and occupational health and safety training
- Ongoing payroll and personnel management
- Monitoring the adaptation process of employees
The Key to Effective Collaboration
The success of working with a temporary employment agency largely depends on the quality of communication between both parties. Regular evaluation meetings, clearly defined expectations, and open dialogue allow for quick responses to emerging challenges and adjustments to the recruitment process as needs evolve. It’s worth noting that in Western Europe, outsourcing recruitment processes has become a standard practice – over 80% of companies with more than 250 employees use it regularly. This trend is also becoming increasingly prevalent in Poland, where more businesses recognize the benefits of professional recruitment support.
A Flexible Response to Needs
Partnering with a professional temporary employment agency is a strategic decision that can significantly impact a company’s growth. Faced with increasing competition for workers and increasingly complex regulations regarding the employment of foreigners, the support of an experienced partner is invaluable. The key to success lies in proper preparation for collaboration and choosing an agency that understands the specifics of the industry and can respond flexibly to changing staffing needs.
