One of the most asked questions when it comes to recruitment in business is should you carry out the hiring process yourself or use a recruitment agent to do it for you? In fact, using a recruitment agent can save you time and money and here’s why…

They Have a Steady Stream of Recruits

One of the best things about using a recruitment agent to help in the hiring process in your business is they have a growing list of recruits ready to step in to your industry at a moment’s notice. If you find yourself in need of a candidate quickly due to an employee exit or need to recruit a group of employees in unexpected busy periods, having this as an option is perfect.

They Have Industry Expertise

A recruitment agent has a lot of experience in a wide range of industries and is able to spot who will be a good candidate for your team out of a group of vetted applicants. This can save you the time and stress of employing someone who isn’t a good fit for the role and having to re-recruit in the future.

They are Recruitment Law Compliant

The area of recruitment and employment law is a complex one if you don’t know how to navigate it fairly and lawfully. This could get you in trouble as an employer down the line causing unnecessary financial strain on your business. Agents are up to date on employment law and will keep you on the right side of it.

They Provide Support to Help Grow Your Business

Building a good relationship with an employment agent will serve your business well in the long run and essentially help to grow and strengthen the future of your business by providing quality candidates, maximising talent and allowing your business to live up to its full potential.
