What Support Can You Expect from a Staffing Agency After Placement?

Did you know that your journey doesn't stop when you land a new role through a staffing agency? A good agency’s support often continues well beyond your placement. 

Let’s talk about what kind of support you should be receiving, even after you’ve started your new job…

Regular Check-Ins & Follow-Ups

A good staffing agency won’t disappear once you’re on the job. They’ll stay in touch—well beyond onboarding. They aim to ensure you thrive in your new role and are not just checking boxes. This is why they stay connected through video calls, phone chats, or even quick check-ins via email or messages. It’s about making sure you’re supported in your new environment, and that the job fits you just as much as you fit the job. These check-ins aren’t just formalities—they're meant to make sure you’re feeling good about your new role. Here’s what you can expect::

• Gauging Job Satisfaction: Your agency wants to make sure you're happy and that the job lines up with what you had in mind when you signed on
• Addressing Concerns: If something feels off or you're facing any bumps in the road, they’re there to listen and help sort things out, making the transition smoother for you
• Providing Feedback: They might ask how things went during the hiring process or about your early days on the job. It’s not just about you either—it’s about learning how to better help people in the future. These regular check-ins are what separates a typical agency from one that truly cares about building a long-term relationship, one that’s focused on your success, not just filling the role

Career Counseling & Guidance

Staffing agencies like nTech Workforce aren’t just there to get you in the door—they’re like a built-in career coach, even after you’ve landed a role. A good agency doesn’t stop at filling a position; they want to help you stay aligned with your bigger career goals and make sure you're set up for the long haul if that’s what you’re after. Here’s what they can offer:

• Resume Updates: Need to tweak your resume? They’re there to help you fine-tune it, so it matches your goals and reflects where you’re headed next
• Interview Coaching: Whether you’re eyeing your next move or just want to be ready for new challenges, your agency can guide you through interview prep and even help with offer negotiations
• Industry Insights: They can also keep you in the loop on the latest industry trends and market changes that impact your career path

Career counseling and guidance are essential for candidates to prepare for the future and ensure they are aligning with roles that are meaningful to them. 

Advocacy & Additional Resources

Sometimes, things at work don’t go as smoothly as we hope. In the event of any conflict or issues, your staffing agency can act as your advocate. 

They are equipped to:

• Mediate Conflicts: Misunderstandings happen. Your agency can help smooth things over and work toward a fair resolution
• Escalate Concerns: If things get more serious, they can step in and work with your employer on your behalf to find a solution

On top of being your advocate, many agencies offer extra resources to support you:

• Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): These programs provide confidential counseling and support for a variety of personal and work-related issues
• Networking Events: Your agency may organize networking events or connect you with industry professionals

Why Post-Placement Support Matters

Post-placement support is essential for ensuring a successful transition into a new role. It demonstrates the agency's commitment to your long-term career goals and can help you build a stronger relationship with your employer.

When choosing a staffing agency, it's important to consider their post-placement support services. Remember to ask about their policies and procedures for follow-ups, career counseling, and advocacy. 

A reputable agency will be transparent about the level of support they provide and will be dedicated to helping you succeed in your new role. Contact nTech with any questions you have regarding job placement and expectations.
