When organizations are in need of special personnel to do specific tasks, they seldom search for them on their own. At this point, they look for manpower agencies, resource augmentation or resource outsourcing firms that help them with these needs. These professionals, like headhunters, help companies fill a position with a suitable candidate and are therefore some kind of talent seekers. Sometimes, a manpower staffing agency and resource augmentation agencies are used interchangeably. But that is not the case. They are separate entities and being aware of the differences between them will allow you to benefit from the kind of service you are looking for.
Here is a list of differences between manpower agencies and resource augmentation agencies.

1. Access to candidates
A manpower agency will find the right person for the job. Someone who is capable and worthy and seems to fill the role well. Also sometimes called, employment agencies, they bridge the gap between employers and employees. There are other types like a luxury staffing agency etc.
Resource augmentation, permits a company to hire only additional staff as per the requirements of the company. The human resources are then employed by the resource augmentation firms.
2. Cost management
A manpower staffing agency will find talent for your company after the human resources department of your agency takes on the responsibility of hiring new employees.
On the other hand, when a resource augmentation company is in the picture, they fulfill your needs as per the staff requirement. There is no pressure and additional costs of hiring full time employees in the company.
3. Structure and system
When you hire a resource augmentation company, the staff that they hire on your behalf are temporary and will work with you till you find it necessary. There is no need to clear up positions for them in the organizational chart because they work on project basis and not full time. They are hired on the basis of a contract which will ensure that there is no disturbance to the structure and system of the organization.

4. Internal process
When a resource augmentation helps you, the best part about that is that there is simple integration of processes. You do not have to take on the extra task of merging individual tasks of two different teams. These new individuals will be able to adapt to their work as a team. On the other hand, a manpower service agency will help you fulfill specific needs in terms of a luxury staffing agency etc.
5. Deadlines
When there are tight budgets and tighter deadlines, a resource augmentation company will help you leverage on their expertise at a faster speed and lower cost.
Whether you decide to hire a manpower agency or a resource augmentation firm, you should first discuss your needs, goals and specifications with your team. Once finalized, they can be shared with these professionals who will ease the hiring process for you. Before hiring any service, needless to say you should study in detail about it. Know what it is, how it will affect or disadvantage your company and how much it will cost. Once you do that, you are aware of all the risks you are taking. Also, after tedious research you will understand if you are in need of a manpower agency or a resource augmentation firm. Engaging a manpower agency is not symbolic of the company’s cost savings in hiring or operations. Engaging with a resource augmentation company will help the company to realize the cost in regard to employee operations.
