Much like marketing and finance, staffing is continuous thing for every business. Finding the right people for right roles is a constant necessity, amidst employees leaving the organization and existing ones being promoted. As an entrepreneur or business owner, you are probably wondering – Shouldn’t we have an in-house team of recruitment experts? Or is it better to hire a recruitment agency for the job? Agencies like Hunt International have been working with companies in Canada, offering custom recruitment solutions. Here’s a look at the advantages –
- Get access to the right candidates. It takes considerable time, effort and resources to find a list of CVs that can be considered for a particular vacancy. With a recruitment agency doing the same job, you can have access to right candidates, and that too, without processing applications for each role. The primary role of recruitment agencies is to match candidates with the right roles, and they typically have a list of candidates who are experienced/trained for specific roles.
- Avoid the common mistakes. No matter whether you need temporary recruits for a specific period, or must find permanent employees, it is absolutely critical to follow the due recruitment process. Without a competent team of recruitment advisors and HR experts, there is a high chance of making mistakes, which can have a domino effect on your business in the long run. The expertise and experience that a recruitment agency brings to the table is unprecedented and must be appreciated.
- Customized solutions. Most recruitment agencies take extra steps and may insist on many meetings with the client, so as to know the organization and its work culture. The process of hiring people extends beyond filtering and looking for candidates. The work ethics, expected recruitment goals will be considered, and you don’t have to bother about the details. Many companies and recruitment agencies even offer an assurance on the retention rate.
Finally, you cannot deny the cost advantage of hiring a recruitment agency. They charge a lot less for what you would otherwise pay for an in-house team, especially if your recruitment and staffing needs are specific in nature. Of course, not all services are the same, so you need to find an agency that’s capable of offering real solutions and can align its expertise for the needs of your company. It has to be about long-term collaboration, because you will keep need new (and right) people for your business.
