The Benefits of Using an Agency to Hire the Best Talent.

At Pearson Carter we know all about the whirlwind that is the Microsoft job market (As we are experts). A lot of clients are faced with a decision. To outsource or not to outsource. Understandably from a business standpoint it is best to fill the vacancy yourself however, what do you do when you can’t do it yourself and your “internal recruitment” fails you?

I am here to explain the benefits of working alongside an agency that knows the market. I say “knows the market” as 8/10 agencies that will approach a company are hoping to make a quick fee and have no real market knowledge.

Save Time & Money

If you do not already have an internal recruitment team, this is a good start. Paying ￡20,000+ for 3-5 internal recruiters will cost you up to ￡100,000 per year, and 80% of the time they won’t even find the right candidate.

Working with an agency means that you are paying a % fee on a specific hire which I can guarantee is less than ￡100,000 ultimately saving you money (and office space).

Working with an agency will also save an incredible amount of time and energy as most of the time agencies (such as us) are already working with clients in the area looking for similar candidates which means you receive suitable profiles within the first 24 hours!

We source. We qualify. We do all the leg work, so you don’t have to.

Industry Expertise

A good recruitment agency will offer its clients specialist insight into the market and can provide helpful advice. Whether this is advice on adjusting salaries, or market trends, having an agency providing you this type of information can prove very beneficial.

We do intensive training on the Microsoft market and speak to clients/candidates daily meaning we know current trends and salary expectations for candidates based on experience level and have helped our clients adjust to be best placed to find someone of suitable criteria.

We know so you don’t have to.

Access to the Best Candidates

This one is specific to Pearson Carter; many other agencies will have access to good candidates but due to the level of service we provide we have access to the best talent as soon as they come on market as these candidates actively approach us once they are looking due to the high level of service we provide

We work tirelessly with our candidates from initial call all the way to the aftercare. This is what makes them only work with us and a high percentage of candidates on the job market now are not available to any other agencies but us due to this.

This means our client get the best talent and the best service for less money than they would if they did it themselves.

Conclusion

To conclude, there is a big stigma about using agencies but its not about using an agency it is about using the right agency who can provide you the level of candidates and service like our clients in the Microsoft space receive at Pearson Carter.
