Definition of Staffing
By Newaj Sharif
The managerial function of staffing is defined as filling, and keeping
filled, positions in the organizations structure. This is done by identifying
work-force requirements inventorying the people available, and
recruiting, selecting, placing, promoting, apprising, planning the careers
of, compensating, and training or overviews developing both candidates
and current jobholders so that they can accomplish their task effectively
and efficiently. It is clear that staffing must be closely linked to
organizing, that is, to the setting up of international structures of rules
and positions. Many writers on management theory discuss staffing as a
phase of organizing.

As a management function, staffing, or human resource management, is theone
that deals with the acquiring, training, appraising and compensation the staff that work
for a business. Effective staffing management is crucial to the success of a business.
Without the right staff, a business or organization may be unable to deal with any
changes or anything new in an efficient and successful manner. Within staffing there are
three main principles that should be adhered to in order to run a smooth and
cooperative business. These principles are that all managers are human resource

What Does the Word "Staffing" Mean?
By Eve Lopez, eHow Contributor , last updated May 02, 2014

What Does the Word "Staffing" Mean?
Staffing refers to the process of recruiting, hiring, orientating, retaining and firing
employees. Staffing is a human resources term, and inside staffing is conducted within a
company by a member of the human resources team.

Companies can outsource some or all of their staffing needs. In many cases, employers
turn to staffing agencies to fill vacant spots on a temporary basis.

A staffing company handles the background checks and testing of employees, then takes a
commission of the wages earned by workers they send to outside companies. Sometimes
the staffing company receives a "finder's fee" from the company that hires an employee
full-time.

firing employees. Staffing is predominately a HumanResources (HR) term. A lot of companies
have human resources staff to take care of contracts, grievances and work related policies that
are always stipulated in employees' contracts.

First, a Description and Some Definitions About Staffing
Before reviewing the many guidelines throughout this Library topic and its various
subtopics, it might be useful to understand the most common terms used in staffing and,
thus, included in many of the subtopics. The terms might become more clear as you
progress through the guidelines in this overall topic of staffing in the Library. For now, try
get a basic sense of what each means.
Staffing includes a broad scope of activities -- the activities are best depicted by
glancing at the links listed below.
The word hiring is sometimes used interchangeably with staffing, which does an
injustice to the broad scope of activities involved in staffing. Hiring might be thought
more specifically as screening the best job candidates, but especially making a
formal job offer to the best candidate.
Even before a new employee is hired to do a job, the job should be clearly designed
or defined. A job is a collection of tasks and responsibilities that an employee is
responsible to conduct. Jobs have titles.
Job are usually designed by conducting a job analysis, which includes examining
the tasks and sequences of tasks necessary to perform the job.

Human resources professionals in companies that are just making the move to self-directed work teams can
learn a lot about team staffing from organizations like C & S. For instance, HR professionals need to be
involved in the recruitment and hiring process, but they also need to know when to back off and let team
members take responsibility. Let's face it: The teams ultimately have more at stake in the selection of a new
employee than the HR department does. "It's hard for HR to get out of the way and let team members make
staffing decisions," says Edward Marshall, president of the The Marshall Group in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina. "The biggest challenge HR has is becoming partners with the line organization." HR staffers must
learn to act as internal consultants who offer expertise in the hiring process, but who don't necessarily have
authority over every hiring decision.

Temporary staffing providers may be used by campus units to fill short-term assignments expected to last
less than 6 months. Randstad Staffing Services and Manpoower Group are UCSCs primary service
providers for filling administrative, professional, technical, and light industrial assignments. Units with
specialized staffing needs should contact their divisional service team in Procurement Services to identify
other temporary staffing providers.
The selected temporary staffing vendor is expected to assess candidate qualifications, conduct interviews
and reference checks and ensure required background checks are completed prior to assignment. Please
note that temporary staffing agency personnel performing cash handling duties are covered by UC

True staffing means manning and keeping manned a right man at
right place. The administration of human resources involves
matching the jobs and people through preparation of specifications
necessary for positions, appraising the performance of personnel,
training and retraining of people to fit the needs of the organisational
positions, and developing methods by which people will respond with
maximum effort and increased satisfaction.
As Haimann observes the staffing function pertains to the
recruitment, selection, development, training and compensation of
subordinate managers. Koontz and ODonnell too define Staffing as
the executive function which involves the recruitment, selection,
compensating, training, promotion and retirement of subordinate
managers.

Definition:
Temporary employees are hired to assist employers to meet business demands yet allow the employer
to avoid the cost of hiring a regular employee. Sometimes, it is the expectation of the employer that if
the temporary employee is successful, the temporary employee will be hired.
A temporary employee who demonstrates a good work ethic, fits the company culture, learns quickly,
regularly lends a helping hand, and doesn't need to be told what to do next, may receive an offer of
employment.
Most frequently, though, hiring temporary employeesserves a business purpose for the company and the
objective is to hire temps rather than taking on the cost of a regular employee.
Business purposes include: seasonal customer demand, temporary surges in manufacturing orders, an
employee on sick or maternity leave, and short-term, clearly defined work such as a census worker.
