How do staffing agencies organize their candidate and client files?

Staffing agencies maintain two primary file types: candidate files (resumes, applications, skills assessments, background check results, I-9 forms) and client files (contracts, job orders, rate agreements, contact information). These should be in separate filing sections — some staffing agencies use separate cabinets entirely for candidates vs. clients. Candidate files are employment records with legal retention requirements (typically 3 years after the last date of employment for I-9s). Background check results have specific handling requirements under the FCRA. Client contracts should be retained for the duration of the business relationship plus the applicable statute of limitations period. A locking system is essential for candidate personal information.
