How to Give Your Staffing Partner Feedback That Gets Results

The best staffing relationships get better over time. The main reason is simple: the employer gives clear feedback, and the staffing partner uses it.

Here is how to give feedback that actually improves who shows up.

Give Feedback Early

Don’t wait until the end of an assignment to mention a problem. Tell your staffing partner after the first shift, while there’s still time to fix it.

The same goes for good news. If a worker is great, say so right away.

Be Specific

“This worker isn’t a good fit” is hard to act on. Specific feedback helps your staffing partner find a better match.

• Was it attendance or punctuality?

• Speed or accuracy?

• Following safety rules or directions?

• Attitude or teamwork?

Share What Great Looks Like

Tell your staffing partner about the workers you want more of. What do your best people do differently? That picture helps them recruit and place the right people.

Have One Point of Contact

Feedback can get lost when it comes from five different supervisors. Choose one person on your side to collect it and share it with your staffing partner.

Check In Regularly

For ongoing accounts, a short regular check-in goes a long way. Review what’s working, what’s not and what’s coming up, like busy seasons or new positions.

Ask for Feedback Too

Good communication goes both ways. Your staffing partner and workers may notice things about schedules, site setup or instructions that could make every shift run smoother.
