Five great reasons to use a recruitment agency rather than recruit in-house

Five great reasons to use a recruitment agency rather than recruit in-house

1. Expertise and Experience

We spend every day, all day finding the right candidates for our clients. We understand the job market, industry trends, and candidate behaviour, so we can provide expert guidance on the best recruitment strategies, candidate requirements, and hiring practices.

2. Time Saving

Recruitment is a time-consuming process that can take up a lot of resources. By giving us the task, you can save time and focus on your core operations, while we handle all aspects of the hiring process, from sourcing to screening and shortlisting candidates.

3. Access to a Wider Pool of Talent

We have a vast network of candidates that may not be accessible through traditional in-house recruitment methods. We tap into our networks, conduct searches on different job boards, and use social media channels to identify the most suitable candidates for a particular position. This is particularly important when you remember that the best candidates often do not respond to job ads.

4. Reduced Hiring Costs

Recruiting in-house comes with a range of costs, including job board postings, recruitment portals, and the time and resources spent on sourcing, screening and interviewing candidates. We help reduce these costs by offering competitive pricing, often charging only a small percentage of the candidate’s salary upon successful hire.

5. Confidentiality and Anonymity

A third-party agency maintains confidentiality and anonymity in hiring. This is particularly helpful when hiring for sensitive roles, when competitors may be critical of who you’re hiring or when the current employee in that role has not yet been terminated.

And of course, as already discussed here, internal bias is removed from the hiring process making because we conduct the initial interviews. This promotes impartiality which is great for your company culture.

Overall, using a recruitment agency offers you the advantages of expert guidance, time-saving, access to a wider pool of talent, reduced hiring costs, confidentiality, anonymity and lack of bias in hiring. Surely this is the best way to source the top candidates for open positions.
