Staffing is the process of finding, interviewing, and hiring new employees inside a company or organisation to fill unfilled positions. A staffing department may also be in charge of handling other aspects of employment, such as orientation, training, retention, and termination. At different stages of the hiring process, this function may occasionally be carried out by contractors working for another firm. While larger firms could go through several hiring cycles in a single year, smaller organizations might handle staffing on a case-by-case basis. Any size of business can use staffing to hire temporary or long-term workers. Human resources, people management, and hiring are a few related terms and divisions.
