The purpose of a recruitment agency is to help an employer find and hire the best talent for their company. If you are considering collaborating with such an agency, it is important to find the right recruitment agency for your company's needs. Over time, many recruitment agencies have specialized in a particular industry, so it's a good idea to analyze in advance what they offer.
The talent shortage has become a serious problem worldwide. According to the ManpowerGroup study, globally, 3 out of 4 companies (75%) reported talent shortages and difficulties in hiring. Given this premise, here are 5 reasons why collaborating with a personnel recruitment agency is worth considering.
Support for Both You and Candidates
Recruitment agencies communicate bidirectionally. They interact with both employers and individuals seeking employment.
Regarding candidates, they will receive feedback on their applications and guidance on how to increase their chances of success. Recruitment agencies want applicants to succeed, whether it's improving their CVs or preparing for interviews. If you are an employer or represent one, recruitment agencies will make your job easier, reducing or even eliminating recruitment issues. Whether you need mass hiring or have an urgent position to fill, the agency will work according to your requirements and preferences.
Quality Candidates
Finding candidates is difficult, but finding those high-quality candidates you truly need is even more challenging. With a recruiter's professional experience, you can improve the quality of candidates. The vast talent pool that comes with an agency means you will have access to prepared and vetted candidates.
Moreover, agency recruiters are experts in the selection process. They are trained to assess applicants and likely have experience you do not. They deal with human resources daily and are experts in identifying, interviewing, and analyzing candidates for various roles.
Specialized and Up-to-Date Knowledge
Recruitment agencies can provide information about the current job market. Most recruitment agencies specialize in a particular industry, role, or level. Consequently, these agencies have a better understanding of that job market. If you need an agency with a deeper understanding of the market, specialized agencies can be the winning solution.
However, don't forget that a generalist agency (not specialized in a specific field) can also offer valuable insights. In every recruitment agency, there will be highly qualified professionals.
Faster Hiring Process
Using a recruitment agency will shorten the time to fill vacancies and find suitable candidates. Since the agency will be responsible for hiring candidates, you won't have to spend time analyzing different profiles and CVs to find qualified individuals.
By opting for a recruitment agency, you can focus attention on activities of greater importance, eventually only reviewing verified candidates and making final decisions.
Temporary Recruitment
If you do not want to hire someone permanently, most recruitment agencies offer temporary recruitment services. Temporary recruitment is when candidates work for a specified period. These roles are excellent if there is a need to hire more staff during a busier time of the year, such as summer in the HoReCa sector.
Recruitment agencies usually offer a broader range of candidates for you to make the right selection. Temporary positions are excellent for both you as an employer and for candidates, as they allow individuals to gain experience.
