WHAT IS THE STAFFING INDUSTRY?
Staffing firms operate within the business services industry, finding workers for client companies. Unlike recruitment companies, staffing firms primarily deal with temporary and contract job positions, although not necessarily exclusively.
Insoursing
Insourcing is a business practice in which work that would otherwise have been contracted out is performed in house.
Insourcing assigns a project to a person or department within the company instead of hiring an outside person or company.
An example is the use of in-house engineers to write technical manuals for equipment they have designed, rather than sending the work to an outside technical writing firm. Another example, an organization might insource technical support for a new product because the company already has existing technical support for another product within the organization.
Outsoursing
Outsourcing is an agreement in which one company contracts a service bureau to be responsible for a planned or existing activity that is or could be done internally, and sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another.

Staffing Agencies
An employment agency is an organization which matches employers to employees. In developed countries, there are multiple private businesses which act as employment agencies and a publicly-funded employment agency.
