Working With A Recruitment Agency
At present the job market is extremely competitive and therefore it can be quite a challenge to navigate if you are not a professional.
As more and more people start looking for work the use of recruiters has become scrutinized like never before. Often companies ask 'why use a recruiter when we can post a job online ourselves?' There are seven reasons I can think of off the top of my head:
1. Being sure that you have found the right candidate and be aware that just because there are lots of people looking for work that does not necessarily mean that they will be suitable for the role or even apply for it.
2. Speed. All companies that recruit internally will find that they have a long list of daily tasks that will interfere with how long it takes to find and recruit somebody. Recruiters obviously find and recruit people as their job so it will be faster with a recruitment company.
3. Recruiters will be able to recognise people who are lying about their qualifications quicker than most people as they carry out extensive research into the work history of the candidate.
4. All recruiters have methods that allow them to judge candidates and their merit.
5. If the position being filled is on a contract or temporary basis then a recruiter may have more chance of filling it and filling it faster than a normal hiring manager. This is because the recruiter will have a database of people that they can call at any time.
6. Recruiters can act as a go between and deliver news and feedback to candidates.
7. The final and most obvious benefit is that recruiters have market expertise and know how to translate this into placing candidates.
If you want to fill the position with an ideal candidate then using a recruiter will help you save lots of time and energy which could be better spent on improving and running your business.
