What are the top six reasons why you should hire an HR consultancy?

Hello, today I'm going to talk about the most frequently asked question I get as a Business Specialist at TIGI HR.

Why should we use a recruitment consultancy when we have our department for that? Before I get to the main answer, I'd like to tell you a little bit about human resources so that you understand the context.

Human resources (HR) is an important function that requires a significant investment from business owners and corporate executives. At the same time, the human resources function cannot be overlooked because it is critical to keep employees motivated, drive company culture, and fill talent gaps in the organization, all of which have a direct impact on sales and revenue. You must strike a balance between developing in-house capability and outsourcing to human resources consultants or experts who have worked with a variety of businesses and have developed expertise and efficiency in this field.

Now that we all realize the importance, here are my top 6 reasons why you should hire an HR consultancy.

1)They hold specialization and experience.

Human resource consultants have worked with a variety of businesses from various industries and sectors. As a result, they have exposure to and insights into the best practices to follow and implement. Human resource is a broad field that includes hiring, performance management, compensation and benefits, labor laws and regulations, and so on. Your HR team is more likely to be a group of generalists rather than specialists in every field. As a result, leveraging the expertise of a human resources consultant will go a long way toward making accurate strategic decisions and benefiting from them.

2)Provide cost-effective solutions

The contractual payment to a hired human resources consultant or team is based on project deliverables, milestones met and results achieved within the agreed-upon time frame. As a result, you pay them for what you get. Hiring human resources consultants lowers the cost of hiring individual employees, the time and resources required to train and develop them in-house, the cost of retaining trained talent, and the cost of investing in HR-related technology and tools. This time, money, and effort could be better spent developing the core business.

3)Effective and efficient solutions

Recruitment consultancy's primary job is to provide human resource solutions, which allows them to gain expertise, knowledge, and skills over time. They are more likely to have invested in tools and technology such as automation, as well as access to databases that aid in their work speed and accuracy. This improves the efficiency and effectiveness of their work, which will ultimately benefit your company.

4)Allows you to concentrate on your core business.

Outsourcing your day-to-day human resources work to a Recruitment agency or experts allows you to focus on your core business while the experts handle the human resources side of your business. Having them on board also alleviates the burden on business owners, corporate executives, and managers in terms of recruitment, performance management, training and development, and so on, allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities and become more efficient and effective.

5)Reduce regulatory and compliance concerns.

It is preferable to delegate regulatory and other compliance responsibilities to human resources consultants, as they are more likely to be familiar with the regulations and laws. They are also more likely to keep up with changes in regulations and compliances and assist you in updating your company policies accordingly. This may assist you in reducing compliance risks for your company, as well as any penalties or complications that may arise as a result of noncompliance.

6)Objective feedback on your current HR capabilities

If you have a well-developed and robust human resources capability in-house, you may not want to outsource the work to consultants. Even in such cases, it is preferable to hire these consultants regularly to obtain objective feedback on your current systems. It may help you to understand a third party's perspective on your capability, including your strengths and weaknesses. This will allow you to know what you're doing right and fill any gaps in the current system to make it better and more efficient.
