Staff Recruiting Agency (SRA) is a unique type of temporary staffing agency. Many organizations today hire highly skilled, technical employees on a short-term, temporary basis, to assist with special projects or to provide a needed technical skill. SRA negotiates contracts with its client companies in which it agrees to provide temporary staff in specific job categories for a specified cost.

When a SRA client company determines that it will need a temporary professional or scientific employee, it issues a staffing request against the contract it had previously negotiated with SRA. When a staffing request is received by SRAs contract manager, the contract number referenced on the staffing request is entered into the contract database. Using information from the database, the contract manager reviews the terms and conditions of the contract and determines whether the staffing request is valid. The staffing request is valid if the contract has not expired, the type of professional or scientific employee requested is listed on the original contract, and the requested fee falls within the negotiated fee range. If the staffing request is not valid, the contract manger sends the staffing request back to the client with a letter stating why the staffing request cannot be filled, and a copy of the letter is filed. If the staffing request is valid, the contract manager enters the staffing request into the staffing request database as an outstanding staffing request. The staffing request is then sent to the SRA placement department.

In the placement Department, the type of the staff member, experience, and qualifications requested on the staffing request are checked against the database of available professional and scientific staff. If a qualified individual is found, he or she is marked reserved in the staff database. If a qualified individual cannot be found in the database, or is not immediately available, the placement department creates a memo that explains the inability to meet the staffing request and attaches it to the staffing request. All staffing requests are then sent to the Arrangements Departments.

In the Arrangements Departments the prospective temporary employee is contacted and asked to agree to the placement. After the placement details have been worked out and agreed to, the staff member is marked placed in the staff database. A copy of the staffing request and a bill for the placement fee is sent to the client. Finally, the staffing request, the unable to fill memo (if any), and a copy of the placement fee bill is sent to the contract manger. If the staffing request was filled, the contract manger closes the open staffing request in the staffing request database. If the staffing request could not be filled the client is notified. The staffing request, placement fee bill, and unable to fill memo are then filed in the contract office. Solve the below questions below.
