Staffing is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment through various sources like direct applications, job portals, staffing agencies, newspapers, and campus recruitment. The staffing process involves collecting details about the job requirements and candidate information. There are two main types of staffing placements: permanent/full-time placements where the company hires the candidate directly, and temporary/contract placements where the candidate works for a contracting company but not the client company directly. Contracting/temporary placements are often shorter in duration and offer flexibility for both companies and candidates.
