What is full desk recruiting?

Full desk recruiting is a term used in the staffing industry to describe a staffing firm or employment agency that provides temporary, contract, and/or direct hire placement services for its clients. A full-desk staffing firm will typically have a team of recruiters that specialize in different areas of the job market, such as IT, engineering, finance, accounting, marketing, sales, customer service, etc.

The goal of a full-desk staffing firm is to be able to provide its clients with a one-stop solution for all of their hiring needs. This means that the firm will work with the client to understand their specific staffing requirements and then source, screen, and present candidates that meet the criteria. In many cases, the full-desk firm will also be responsible for conducting interviews, reference checks, and extending job offers on behalf of the client.

There are many benefits to working with a full-desk staffing firm, including access to a larger pool of candidates, increased efficiency in the hiring process, and cost savings. For businesses that don't have an in-house HR or recruiting team, full-desk firms can be an invaluable partner in helping them build their workforce.
