Recruiting Awesome Candidates

3 things to consider when identifying a recruitment agency to recruit for your business..

Firstly, and most importantly; is this person credible and can/do you trust them with such an incredibly important process?

Working with your chosen recruitment partner should feel effortless. They should keep you updated and involved in the decision making all the way; as if they're an extension to your team!

You want to feel confident all candidates introduced to you are relevant and suitable for your requirements. You also want to know the agency cares about your vacancies and treat them as their most important assignment. Working on trust is paramount.

Secondly, cost implications. You've heard of the saying "buy cheap, buy twice". This is the same in recruitment. The best headhunters and recruiters are proactive and will analyse your vacancy and the market before commencing a search.

That doesn't mean you have to opt for the most expensive agency either. Your ultimate goal is to hire the very best talent in the quickest time. Quality however is paramount.

Put it into a perspective we can all relate to; a Ford Mondeo, a Range Rover Evoque and a Bentley Continental all ultimately do the same thing; they get you from A to B, but they all offer different experiences and quality.

Finally, respect! Does the agency really care about your business? Quality recruiters take time to understand your business and feel passionately about your brand. They want to get to know you and understand your businesses values. If they understand your culture, they're more likely to find you the right candidates.

Is your vacancy important enough to remain the agencies main focus? Some agencies work on contingency, chasing vacancies that are open/live or brand new. This means conversion is low as they need to take on as much work as possible to hit targets.

Working exclusively with your chosen agency builds a bond that benefits both sides.

You need to work with an agency who will not take on too many assignments at once and will always put your first. If you respect the agency, they will respect you.

Respect is paramount.
