1. Access to a wide range of experts, ability to identify talent
Having access to a wide range of resources, experience in talent identification is essential when looking for new suitable professionals to join teams. One strategy or job ad posted on a company's website is usually not enough. You need the knowledge, time and aforementioned access to a variety of places to source candidates. An experienced staffing agency that searches, motivates and recruits employees that match companies' requirements every day is a big help. The combination of a wide range of contacts, rich databases, regular access to job listings and the ability to spot the right person is the key to success. Daily contact with a variety of candidates allows us to reach the right ones, resulting in the provision of high quality matching profiles.
2. Save time
If you entrust your recruitment processes to a professional recruitment agency, you will save time. Agency staff work in this way to ensure that you spend as little time as possible on a particular process. The first stages of selecting future employees are carried out by the agency, and the employer only accepts selected candidates who meet certain requirements. The work of the agency does not stop only at this initial stage. Other tasks include constant contact with the candidates, providing feedback, arranging job interviews and preparing any information that the candidates require.The constant care and contact with the candidates will allow them to feel cared for and interested in the position.
3. Market Knowledge
The daily contact of recruitment agency staff with candidates and clients translates into a wealth of valuable and often unique knowledge of the labour market and the industry. Their roles also include having insight and knowledge of the industry. This insight and experience often enables us to advise clients, for example when launching a new company or also when looking for candidates in a narrow or hard-to-find specialism.Recruitment agencies often have an advantage in these narrow areas when it comes to finding candidates with unique skills such as unusual languages or rare IT technologies. On the other hand, even for more popular positions or competencies, when there is a lot of competition between companies, the agency is able to properly manage the recruitment process so that the candidate chooses the client company as their future employment environment.
4. Employer Branding
Employer branding activities are part of the daily routine for recruitment agencies. We are aware that the way a company presents itself, how it is perceived, has a significant impact on how it is perceived by candidates. A skilled and experienced recruitment agency consultant works daily to ensure a positive client image when conducting the recruitment process. When a candidate receives two similar offers - one from the client and one from a competitor - the quick and correct actions of the recruiter often make all the difference. As a result, candidates subsequently accept the client company's offer. Often it's the personal, regular contact that makes the candidate feel secure and already knows the prospective company, even if it's through a recruitment agency. Being an effective link between client and candidate is a competency that requires the experience and sensitivity that this line of work demands.
Small businesses or startups that don't have in-house HR can often benefit from the employer branding activities of an external staffing agency. Putting the image of a newly formed company in the hands of an experienced agency is a very good move. Also, having an agency manage the recruitment processes for smaller or new companies allows for a faster successful conclusion of the processes and thus a smooth further development of the client's company.
