Employing a recruiter can be an affordable and efficient method to hire when compared to internal recruitment as long as you get the best value from the agency you choose to work with.
If recruitment isn’t an ongoing procedure (e.g. for small companies) hiring in-house will likely be a new task, and a burden for employees or managers who hire. For larger companies, hiring an agency for recruitment is the most effective method to gain access to an array of highly skilled workers who are not currently looking for a new job.
Then, here are the top advantages of using an agency to recruit:
Tangible Time Savers
A recruiter can spare you a lot of time perusing through applications which means you’ll only need to spend time looking through the ones that are worth your time.
Interviews will be scheduled by them and you just have to show up and prepare
They will handle every administrative issue, including the communication with applicants and applicants, including notifying unsuccessful candidates and giving feedback; verification of information about the candidate (e.g. references and qualifications)
Efficiency
Your recruiter will collect the questions of candidates to ensure that you are able to manage them all at once
Their market knowledge is specialized and lets them provide advice on job opportunities and negotiate offers on your behalf, if they are asked to do so.
They will be able to manage the procedure smoothly, compared to the in-house staff who might have no experience in the best practices procedures
Temporary and contract hire positions can be filled with a the shortest notice (as the recruiter has access to an extensive pool of verified candidates)
In addition to the value of time saved hiring a recruiter vs. in-house hiring, you’ll be able to save some money.
Cost-savings for short-term use
Eliminates the cost of posting many job ads
Eliminates the impact on staff in-house who continue to fulfill the other duties according in accordance with their normal standards
Reduces the cost of overtime by hiring temp workers through a recruiter agency can be cheaper than having regular employees perform overtime during busy times
Reduces the risk and cost of an ‘unsuccessful hiring decision’ (e.g. poor performance, training, re-hire).
Long-term cost-savings
Reduces the cost of hiring future employees Reduces the cost of hiring a new recruiter again because the agent already has the knowledge of your business, which means the process will be faster
Reduces costs for training: certain agencies provide candidates with the opportunity to sharpen their skills or master specific field regulations while searching for a new position, which eliminates the need for your company to conduct the same training after they have arrived.
