Why do you need a Recruitment Agency?
Not keen to work with a recruitment agency? Had a previous bad experience? Presume you are saving money by recruiting yourself?
There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to recruitment and different positions require different strategies to ensure you have a pool of the best.
Here are a few points to ponder next time you need to employ:
1. A good recruiter has an extended pool of talent and networks:
- Recruiters usually have a lower negotiated rate with major job boards and search portals. Therefore, can cast a wider net on a variety of sites, as well as having the option to conduct searches, simultaneously.
- In addition, candidates register their CVs with agencies for future reference. Often, those candidates are not actively trawling job boards or actively applying to all ads. They are more passive in their search and the agency is well-networked with these skilled professionals, thus able to identify, reach out, and match targeted candidates
2. The recruitment process is, by no means, a quick one. It is time-consuming and tedious; especially when the position is more generalist and can yield up to 200 applications. Using a skilled recruiter, you eliminate:
- Screening 100s of unsuitable CVs
- Dealing with inquiries from applicants personally, via email, or telephonically
- Managing the interview process and administrative duties
- Negotiating a mutually beneficial remuneration package
- Providing feedback and regret correspondence to applicants
3. Most recruiters have more industry and market-related knowledge than they are given credit for. A good recruiter will keep up to date with the latest news, developments, and current affairs in the industry for which they are recruiting. Such insight will enable them to guide you through the process, advising you of salary bench-marking, scarce skill shortages, or alternative options to your requirements.
