Staffing involves finding the right people, with the right skills, abilities, and fit, who may be hired or already working for the company (organization) or may be working for competing companies.
Staffing deals with a comprehensive term for all operative functions namely recruiting, placing, appraisal, rewarding, assessing, developing performed in HR management.
In knowledge economies, where talent becomes the new capital, this discipline takes on added significance to help organizations achieve a competitive advantage in each of their marketplaces.
"Staffing" can also refer to the industry and/or type of company that provides the functions described in the previous definition for a price. A staffing company may offer a variety of services, including temporary help, permanent placement, temporary-to-permanent placement, long-term and contract help, managed services (often called outsourcing), training, human resources consulting, and PEO arrangements (Professional Employer Organization), in which a staffing firm assumes responsibility for payroll, benefits, and other human resource functions.
