Reduced Time-to-Hire: We have pre-screened printing industry candidates waiting in the wings and can fill vacancies quickly. This is especially useful when hiring multiple positions at once or ongoing for a variety of roles.

Lower Administrative Burden: Beneficial Talent Source handles the legwork – resume screening, initial interviews, skills qualification, interview scheduling and more – freeing up internal resources.

Access to a Larger Talent Pool

Networks: Beneficial Talent Source has an extensive network for recruiting and access to passive candidates who are hard to reach through traditional channels. Our national flexographic press operator talent pool is over 7k strong!

Our print-related talent pools run deep, as we have plants that we service in almost every state in the USA.

Specialized Platforms: We use industry-specific job boards and have access to databases of talent that aren’t generally available outside the recruiting industry.

Risk Mitigation

Quality Guarantee: We offer a guarantee period, and also a unique hybrid guarantee approach that is cash flow friendly. We can tailor our process to meet a company’s specific needs and requirements.

Compliance: Beneficial Talent Source is well-versed in labor laws and regulations at the federal and state levels throughout the United States, ensuring companies tap into a process that’s compliant with hiring laws.

Temporary to Permanent: We offer direct hire and temp-to-perm services; temp-to-permanent allows a candidate's suitability to be assessed before making a long-term commitment.

Beneficial Talent Source’s experience in the printing industry

During the past 4 months, Beneficial Talent Source has filled many of our “unfillable” roles that we have had posted online for many months with little to no activity and no success. I’m continually impressed by the candidates they bring to the table and their dedication to staying on top of our staffing needs.

Our 500+ successful hires at more than 80 plants in North America include flexo, litho, and digital press operators; prepress technicians; bindery operators; maintenance technicians; quality control inspectors; graphic designers; plant managers; ink technicians; cost accountants; sales representatives; supply chain managers and more.

Skills and qualifications we look for vary by role and include

  • technical proficiency,

  • attention to detail,

  • strong communication skills,

  • physical and dexterity skills, and

  • an ability to work under tight deadlines.

The printing industry is evolving, influenced by technological changes and shifts in consumer preferences. With the rise of digital media, the demand for traditional printing has faced challenges. Yet specialized sectors within the industry such as packaging and labels have shown resilience and even growth.

Adding Beneficial Talent Source to an existing in-house hiring team offers numerous advantages in the printing industry. Companies weighing these benefits against their needs, budget constraints, and organizational capabilities frequently choose to add us to their in-house hiring process.

On some occasions we’ve sent out a last minute request to several agencies for an immediate critical need – Beneficial Talent Source was the only agency able to fill the need. At least twice this occurred on the weekend. More than that I’ve found them to be honest, ethical, and professional.
