One way staffing companies can make this happen is by incorporating talent pipelines into their recruiting strategy. A talent pipeline is simply a list of top candidates you have already qualified and vetted. These candidates may be people who landed up taking another job or even candidates that have worked for you in the past that you want to keep at the top of your mind.
