What is staffing?
Staffing is the act of hiring or employing someone for an open position. Staffing is often a reference to hiring and the process it takes to fill the open position. This is done by internal divisions within an organization, such as a human resources department, or by a third-party, outside employment agency, or a recruiting firm, commonly called staffing agencies. The ultimate goal of staffing is to analyze the workforce, identify the need, and find the perfect fit for an open position.
