difference between in staffing and recuritment

STAFFING Generally, staffing firms are used to fill short term roles, temporary-to-hire, contract, or project positions. The search and hire process can be faster when using a staffing agency versus a recruiting firm. In order to hire quickly, staffing agencies may keep a database of candidates they can use to find people with specific skill sets that are immediately available. Staffing agencies may vary in sourcing candidates with specialized skills or general skill sets. Many staffing agencies work primarily with job seekers in the market for a new job, as opposed to working with passive candidates A company working with a staffing agency may provide more specific information needs upfront, and so may be less involved in the screening and interview process. Staffing follows a candidate through the employee life cycle, including promotions, exit interviews, and retention practices. RECRUITING Recruiting firms generally supply more full-time, permanent candidates. These positions tend to take longer to fill, and they may tend toward management positions. Recruiting firms might be more likely to work with people looking for a job as well as those that are not actively looking. Recruiting firms generally place ads for candidates, screen resumes, conduct interviews, and narrow down the candidates until an offer is extended, and therefore are more involved in the actual sourcing and hiring of a candidate, and less involved throughout the lifetime of a candidate.
