The importance of working with a trusted Recruitment Partner.

Why should small to medium Enterprise’s (SME’s) and Companies have a sole recruitment partner?

Willcox Matthews wants to discuss focusing on working on a retained and exclusive basis and the benefits that this has for the candidates, client & the recruiting business over time. We feel that smaller businesses will see a massive difference.

·????????Better Quality Candidates

With the recruiters focusing solely on finding candidates they can filter through the candidates more efficiently, making their search more comprehensive and consistent. Recruiters also will have a database of candidates that can be utilised when roles come through that are specific to their skill set.

·????????Time

Working with a recruiter will save the time it takes to filter through applicates and organising interviews. Once you have sent over the brief of what is required the recruitment agency will send over candidates and if they do not suit then review the brief and discuss with the recruiters what else is needed.

·????????Communication & Relationship

Building a relationship with recruiter makes the process easier and more likely to be successful. There are regular updates, and the recruiter starts to learn what would work in your company so the candidates that are sent will be catered specifically for you

·????????Confidentiality

When looking for a confidential role, working with a recruiter that you trust will help enormously. You will be able to confidently hand over the search knowing that you will have the right candidates and that it will not be leaked.

·????????Candidate engagement

Recruiters can spend time focusing on the candidate; talking them through the role, giving them advice, liaising with them during confirmations of interviews / offers and giving them the reassurance that they are being treated well. This will ensure that your company has the reputation that you look after employees from the very beginning.

·????????Cost Reduction

Using a singular recruitment agency, you are able to focus your costs on one company. You will know how much it costs per new recruit and you’ll save money on the time it takes for your employees when searching for a new hire. The chances are that you’ll recruit quicker too so there will less loss from being short staffed.

Did you know that working with a recruitment partner can reduce your cost-per-hire by between 40% and 60%?

·????????Recruitment Expertise – Technology & Tools

A recruiter will have the knowledge and experience from working within the recruiting field for some years. They will have an understanding of how to work the sector. The recruiters are dealing with job websites and social medias every day so will know where to look for the individuals that fit the requirements for the role. The marketing for the agency is catered towards people who are looking for jobs, so they would already have an audience that suits your needs.

·????????Time to Hire

Using a recruitment agency can reduce the time it takes from advertising to hiring. The recruiters would know where and how to find the right candidates that suit the vacancy and also candidates that would have the right experience. This would mean that if the right candidate is hired then there would be less time spent training them.

It may seem unusual to outsource all of your recruitment when it would be easier for it to completed internally, however, overall there are so many bonus’ that it would be worth it in the end.

Willcox Matthews Ltd has our team working 24/7 (literally!) to build relationships with both our clients and candidates. We want to assure everyone that we work with that we support them from start to finish of the full experience with us.
