An affiliate of Randstad USA, a global leader in staffing and recruitment, AccuStaff has six employees and offices in Albany and Johnstown.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Owner Heather Rafferty joined the company in 1988, purchasing it in 1997. Since that time, she and her staff have provided services to companies throughout the region, working to identify, screen, and interview candidates for temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a staffing agency that specializes in temp-to-hire positions in light industrial, production, and manufacturing. We also do professional roles, direct hire roles, admin support, call centers, and higher education,\u201d said Mesha Brewer, director of business development. \u201cBy letting us do what we do best, companies no longer have to spend all of the man hours that it takes to recruit one candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AccuStaff works with businesses that experience fluctuating workloads or seasonal demands, helping them to find qualified temporary staff members. When working with companies looking for temp-to-hire workers, AccuStaff provides them with the opportunity to \u201ctry out\u201d an individual before bringing that person on as a permanent employee.<\/p>\n<p>According to Brewer, the gig economy has made it difficult to fill the many entry-level positions that are currently available in the manufacturing and warehousing sectors.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cFor these jobs that pay $17 to $18 an hour, it\u2019s very difficult to compete with Uber drivers and jobs like that. We\u2019re also competing against fast food restaurants that are now paying higher wage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the marketplace is so competitive, AccuStaff works closely with clients, advising them on ways in which to make open positions more attractive to job seekers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe aren\u2019t just filling positions,\u201d said Brewer. \u201cWe become very close with some of our clients, and we help them work through problems to ultimately achieve success together. We take a look at things like company culture and ways they can improve on that. We talk to them about adding different perks and offering growth opportunities within the company for people who are starting at a warehousing or manufacturing level. Those are things we can advertise when we are trying to fill these roles.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finding candidates for entry-level positions at companies that are not located on the bus line has been especially challenging.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see a lot of available candidates who are looking for jobs, but they need those jobs to be on the bus line,\u201d said Brewer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIf I was to pinpoint where we have the most available candidates, it\u2019s with these candidates that rely on the bus line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is also more difficult for AccuStaff to fill entry-level positions during tax season, a time when many people are receiving tax refunds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Brewer reports that professional roles have also been difficult.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are an upper-level professional and you are talented and good at what you do, you are most likely working already. It takes a lot more recruitment and man hours to hunt \u2018soft lookers\u2019\u2014those skilled professional candidates that are working but not necessarily happy where they are. It makes the hunt a lot more challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To meet these challenges, AccuStaff relies on \u201cgrassroots recruiting.\u201d In addition to utilizing LinkedIn, they reach out to past applicants. These potential candidates are already in the company\u2019s database, one that can be searched by skill and profession.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou become almost like a sales recruiter,\u201d said Brewer. \u201cYou are selling opportunities by approaching professionals who may already have a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Brewer, AccuStaff has seen a marked decrease in demand from companies looking to fill remote positions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies are still being open-minded and flexible because they still need the talent, but we\u2019re seeing more hybrid positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By working with AccuStaff, Capital Region employers have access to a staff of qualified professionals, ones who live and work throughout the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know the community. We are involved in the community,\u201d said Brewer. \u201cWe also have world class resources because we are an affiliate of Randstad USA, a global leader in staffing. We\u2019re here to help business owners, and we\u2019re ready to step up.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit accustaffny.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Christine Graf AccuStaff has been providing Capital Region businesses with staffing solutions for more than 25 years.
