Revealed - Four Benefits of Using Recruitment Agency When Hiring
Posted by AMR Group on 22nd April 2022 -
The recruiting process can be costly and time-consuming, often using up valuable resources that might not always guarantee success.
It can be tricky to find suitable candidates in a saturated job market, with UK job vacancies rising to a new record of 1,298,400 in January 2022.
But partnering with a recruitment agency can allay the pressure employers face when hiring new talent. As industry specialists, they can help to streamline the recruitment search by identifying suitable applicants, negotiating contracts and more.
Below, we list four ways recruitment agencies can help you to find the ideal employee in a sea of job hunters.
A speedy hiring process
When you provide a recruitment agency with details of the position, they will use their prominent standing in the industry to effectively market and advertise the role.
Not only do recruitment agencies have a database of relevant candidates, but they will also have already built relationships with job seekers interested in new opportunities.
Through these connections, a recruitment consultant may directly contact individuals they know, having helped them find a job in the past, and invite them to apply for the position.
Doing so grants the employee access to a wide network of talent, omitting the need to attract and shortlist applicants themselves.
Specialist industry knowledge
Recruitment agencies will not only tell you the current state-of-play in the job market, but will also let you know how to best achieve your recruitment needs.
Even the most general agencies can offer valuable insight. This is a vast difference to in-house recruiters, who may not be able to give professional advice to hire better candidates.
Of course, if you require an agency with a deeper understanding of the industry, then you will need to look into specialist agencies.
Where property recruiters are concerned, AMR Specialist Property Recruiters has extensive knowledge of the property, estate agency, financial strategy, architectural and fire and security sectors.
Around-the-clock support
A reputable recruitment agency provides support to job seekers as well as employers, helping to improve communication throughout the hiring process.
For job seekers, the agency will provide useful feedback that the candidate can use to improve their chances of securing a job in the future. A specialist agency will also answer any queries, whether it’s about a CV or interview preparation.
If you are an employer, the recruitment agency aims to simplify the process, helping to save time and money. Whether you have an urgent position to fill, or wish to mass hire, the agency will do its best to work to your requirements.
By understanding current recruitment trends, an agency can also pinpoint where your competitors are attracting talent, such as higher salaries or other benefits, and advise you on your next move.
Sourcing high-quality candidates
Using a recruitment agency can increase your ability to find high-quality candidates. As we mentioned earlier, the vast pool of talent that comes with an agency means you will have access to pre-screened, vetted applicants.
