Why use a Recruitment Agency?…
Often we hear that companies have had a huge response to their recent advertisement, which is of course, fantastic, however it’s also where we can really be of benefit to take all those responses, recruitment questions, CV sifting and interview arranging away from you.
Finding that new member of staff can take a lot of your time (time spent away from doing your actual job) and for companies it can also be costly to advertise in both time and money. Advertising a role never guarantees you the perfect candidate, but more often than not, it will guarantee volume responses and a large number of unsuitable candidates to communicate with. Advertising can also be expensive for a company too and there are no refunds if; after receiving all those CV’s you still haven’t found the talent you are looking for.
Recruitment agencies are 100% focussed on finding your perfect candidate, when the candidate flow is busy we will speak to candidates applying or suitable candidates who have already registered with us and been vetted. When the market is busy with lots of companies looking for similar talent, we will find that perfect match for both parties, continuing to look at every stage of the process to ensure that perfect candidate meets our client.
Partnering with a recruitment agency can really help. Once you have taken the time to hopefully meet (or virtually meet) your recruitment agency of choice and given them an insight to your business, the role and the team environment, they will pull out all the stops to find that one perfect person, and even if after interviewing you haven’t found your new employee, there is no cost at all.
As a recruitment agency, they will provide you with CV’s of candidates who have the right skills, experience and qualifications for your vacancy and are keen on working for your business. They will know where you are based, they will know what salary you are offering (along with the culture and benefits) and they are confident and excited that your job is just what they are looking for.
Our expertise is to talk about job opportunities all day, we know who is looking and what your competitors may be offering and can provide really helpful advice on individuals who are currently looking for their next career move.
As well have a collection of candidates already looking and interviewed, we will advertise your role. The most valuable part of this (for you) is that we will take all the advertisement response, we will answer those questions and we will talk to candidates who are suitable to ensure the role is also right for them. Even once you have started to interview, we will keep looking to ensure you have the very best candidates to consider. Until you have secured your perfect person, we keep talking to candidates.
As part of our recruitment process, we ensure that things like hours, salary and benefits don’t become a sticking point, once you have found each other. We will ask questions about what they are looking for and will provide you will all the information prior to you deciding if you wish to interview them.
Once you organise a meeting with a candidate from a recruitment agency, all you need to do it provide us with the availability, we do everything else. We will confirm dates and times, confirm their attendance and give them as much information about the role and the interview process, so they can shine. You will have one point of contact and the process will flow easily for you. If you aren’t used to interviewing, we can also help you with questions or the format you may want to consider.
After meeting candidates, you won’t need to spend any time arranging 2nd interviews or rejecting candidates who aren’t right, that’s all part of the service.
And don’t forget temporary recruitment, perfect short term solutions for times of the year you are particularly busy or have a project or deadline to complete. You can interview or trust us to provide you with that perfect person to get the job done. You only pay for the hours they work and we do the rest.
Whether the job market is flooded with jobs or flooded with candidate, as recruiters we can really make a difference.
