Searching for and finding new employees takes a lot of time. Time that you as a company would rather use for your core activities. And that is precisely why it is worthwhile turning to a recruitment agency. They have a large network, an incredibly large pool of talented candidates and are aware of the latest trends in recruitment.
But unfortunately, all too often recruiters are used as a final resort after a months-long and unsuccessful search. The reason behind this? Services offered by a recruiting firm are not free, so they are therefore seen as a last resort. But is that really smart?
- Increased workload, time commitment and cost for a company
When starting a new search, companies often find that candidates do not apply or that those who respond are often not the talent the company is looking for. In other words, a lot of time is taken up in finding candidates that match your company. The time invested in such a search usually comes from the human resources department. This means that the workload increases when a position becomes vacant as a result of the dismissal or loss of an employee: Employees no longer perform optimally and drop out as a result of the high expectations. So we can say that not finding the right person on time often comes at a greater cost than, say, a recruitment fee through an office.
And this is where a recruitment agency can still offer its advantage. Especially when it comes to niche markets such as ICT or Engineering. They come into contact with these profiles on a daily basis and therefore know perfectly how to pick out the good candidates.
- Some advantages of a Recruitment Office
Recruiters often also approach candidates who are passively looking for a new position and make every effort to convince them to consider a move to your company. Candidates who qualify are also always interviewed extensively before they are introduced to the employer so that you will only receive relevant CVs.
As we started this blog post, recruitment agencies are indeed not free. But is the cost higher than the added value they can offer your company? We think so!
In addition, recruitment agencies often work on a 'no cure, no pay' basis. This basically means that you only receive an invoice when someone actually starts working for you. In other words, you lose nothing if nobody is found.
