Using Recruitment Agencies

By Louise Davies


Top Reasons Why Using A Recruiter Makes Good Business Sense

Recruiting the right staff can take a lot of time and effort, employing a recruitment agency allows you to focus on running your business. You can also spend more time with your existing staff training them and developing them.

Recruitment agencies have access to a much larger amount of candidates who you may not have come across or who may have not considered you. They often have relationships with job hunters that will benefit you.

Recruitment consultants are often much more skilled at interviewing candidates and screening them as well as being able to retrieve references and other work history information.

Some recruitment consultants provide monetary guarantees for the candidates they place by promising that the candidate will work for the company for a specified minimum time period.

When you consider the time you'd spend searching an interviewing, using a recruitment consultant is obviously much more cost effective.

If you do not really want to advertise that your company is looking to fill a vacancy then using a recruiter can be a good way around this. Recruiters often advertise vacancies without telling who they are recruiting for.

Often recruiters can offer advice on market trends, salary expectations and other staffing issues.

Above all if you have a vacancy to fill the recruiter will fill it quickly and with a candidate that matches your criteria.

If you are considering using an agency then always make sure that the agency specialise in the industry that you work in. You will have a good idea of the sort of person you are wanting to fill your role so make sure you communicate this to the recruiter as well as possible. Try to provide as much detail as possible when it comes to the job description. If you are able to build up a relationship with a recruitment agency then you will quickly be able to fill any future vacancies you might have.
