Employers! There are benefits to using a Recruiting Agency

Hiring a new employee can be an extremely time consuming and daunting task. Making matters worse is the busy schedule and fast tempo of a growing company. How can you possibly find time to sort through hundreds of resumes, schedule phone screening and in-person interviews when you have a business or department to run?  Here are some of the benefits to using a Recruiting Agency:

Benefit 1.  Broader Source of Candidates- While an employer may have bought into a job board, an agency generally has access to all job boards since it’s their main source of candidate generation. They also spend a good part of the day networking via social and event networking.

Benefit 2.  Better Quality- A good agency will send only a few high caliber candidates at a time. These aren’t the first few they found, they are the best they found after funneling the candidate pool down to only a few.  Simply put, they have access to the best candidates available!

Benefit 3. Time Saving- This is perhaps the biggest benefit of using an agency. Agencies spend countless hours going through hundreds of resumes, speaking with candidates over the phone, posting jobs and networking.  Why do this yourself when your time can be better spent on important projects and tending to your company?

Benefit 4. Guarantee Period- Some, not all, agencies have some sort of guarantee period to give piece of mind and stand by their work. If the candidate does not work out, they will replace the candidate or give a reimbursement.  This is something you should check into when shopping around.

Benefit 5. Different Employment Types- Sometimes you may not be looking for a direct hire, full time employee. A Temporary or “Temp” employee may be better suited for your needs. Agencies take care of the Temps taxes, insurance, payroll and more. They won’t file unemployment and can be used for very short periods of time.

Recruitment Agencies are the solution for all your staffing needs. If you haven’t used an agency yet, now is the time to start saving time, while getting the highest quality candidates available. Don’t forget, you also have a guarantee!
