Why Outsource? Outsourcing some or all of your staffing needs gives you the opportunity to realize tremendous savings in the hiring process, from advertising and recruiting, to screening and administrative costs. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, this can amount to 40 percent over and above the employee’s annual salary. However, perhaps the greatest value outside staffing can offer is saving you time. If you’re looking for entry-level positions or seasoned professionals, we can help. We can even assist in hiring employees who may have received early retirement. At times, companies extend early retirement to individuals during important projects. Rehiring these individuals to finish a crucial step or see a project to completion often goes against IRS regulations. G.A.S. can employ these people for short-term contracts, allowing you to use the talents you desire.
