The Hidden Cost of Doing It Yourself
Partnering with Action Staffing Group (ASG) is one of the fastest ways for employers to cut hiring headaches, reclaim time, and lower overall labor costs. Instead of your internal team juggling job ads, resumes, interviews, and compliance, ASG does the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on running the business.
Hidden cost of doing it yourself
Running hiring fully in-house looks cheaper on paper, but the hidden costs add up quickly. Your leaders and HR team spend hours writing job descriptions, posting roles, screening resumes, scheduling interviews, and checking references—time they are not spending on operations, safety, or revenue-generating work. On top of that, job board fees, background checks, and pre-employment testing all chip away at your budget with every open role.
How ASG will save you time
ASG maintains pipelines of pre-screened, work-ready candidates so positions can be filled in days instead of weeks. Studies and industry data show agencies can significantly reduce time-to-hire by handling sourcing, screening, and initial interviews before a candidate ever lands on your desk. This speed keeps production moving, prevents burnout on your existing team, and minimizes the disruption and overtime that come with being short-staffed.
How ASG will save you money
ASG absorbs many of the expenses that make hiring so costly, including advertising, recruiting tools, payroll processing, and employment taxes for temporary staff. By supplying talent only when you need it—during peak seasons, special projects, or to cover absences—staffing services also help reduce overtime, avoid over-hiring, and limit the financial impact of turnover and bad hires. Some models, like temp-to-hire and direct-hire guarantees, further lower risk by allowing you to “try before you buy” and protecting you if a new hire doesn’t work out.
Strategic advantages beyond cost
Beyond immediate time and cost savings, ASG brings market insight and specialized recruiting expertise that most companies do not have in-house. They know current pay rates, talent availability, and what competitors are offering, which helps you stay competitive and attract stronger candidates without overspending. For industries like warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing, this combination of speed, savings, and insight turns staffing from a short-term fix into a long-term strategic advantage.
