Recruiters help find potential employees for organisations looking to hire. Simply put, they save time and resources so organisations can focus on their core business. Additionally, recruiters are more likely to find a match – and the right match – a lot quicker.
Let’s delve into this a little further… ??
Below are some of the benefits of using a recruiting business to help find the right employees for your organisation:
1.??????Faster process
Recruitment can be a real time consuming (and costly!) process. Firstly, think about the time involved in advertising and attracting potential candidates for your vacancy. The process of creating a well-informed job ad and promoting it on various websites and social media platforms to attract and convince potential employees to apply – is a whole job within itself! Then to spend the time trolling though copious amounts of CVs and then shortlisting them, organising and holding preliminary interviews and chasing down referees and then conducting the actual reference checks - takes up a whole lot of time!
Recruitment organisations can do all of this much faster as they already have a substantial network of potential employees in their databases and a vast number of contacts in general, that can help assist them and ultimately you – for all your hiring needs. ?
Recruiters also do all of the co-ordinating and scheduling in of all the interviews with you as well as all the communication with successful and unsuccessful applicants for you too! Additionally, as experts in the job market, they can help you negotiate the best and the most fair and reasonable salary. ?
Only the shortlisted candidates that have been determined as worth your valuable time would be presented to you for your consideration, and these candidates would have been derived from the many profiles and applications to find the handful of those who are the most qualified, top-quality and who would also fit your company culture.
Outsourcing all of this and reaping the benefits of the quicker turnaround time in filling vacancies that recruiters can achieve, helps minimise the time and resources of your company in freeing you up from recruitment to focus on core duties and/or other priorities, in addition to being able to remove the burden on current staff quicker as a consequence of the shortage that the additional workload has created for them. ??
You know what they say – time is money. So, the faster the process (and less work for you), the cheaper it becomes.
2.??????High-quality candidates
As already mentioned, recruiting companies have a significant network of candidates that would then be already pre-screened and referenced for you by the time they are presented for your consideration. They are experts in the field of recruitment including knowing the best way to reach out to potential candidates, screening, interviewing, selecting, and determining whether they would be suited to your company’s culture. ?
As recruiters have a lot of contacts in general, they may already know someone who would be ideal for your vacancy yet are not actively looking due to already having a job. So, the recruiter would be able to reach out to individuals who would have otherwise missed the new job opportunity.

3.??????Customer focussed
The actual work of a recruiter doesn’t usually get compensated until a ‘match’ is found. So, in other words, if you don’t hire one of their shortlisted candidates, then no fees are charged for any of the work carried out.
Therefore, you can take comfort in the fact that a recruiting organisation will do their utmost best for servicing your company’s staffing needs.
4.??????Market knowledge
Many recruiting organisations specialise in specific industries which means that they have become very knowledgeable of the job vacancy’s market and have a deep understanding of it. This provides invaluable information and insight as well as useful advice for you to assist in finding the right person for the role. Recruiters know things such as how to reach the best talent available, the current and the best salary rates as well as current market trends and complexities. Jobs can be hard to fill and so a recruiting business’ industry and market expertise and knowledge is priceless.
When you have built a trusting relationship with a recruitment business, you will see that they will work in partnership with you for your future hiring needs and will keep an eye and ear out for you in the market. Any future recruitment process will become simpler as they will know your business needs and culture and therefore be able to find the right fit a lot faster.
5.??????Extended reach
Even if you do have capacity within your company to recruit, you may not necessarily find and reach the type of individual you’re searching for. Recruitment companies have many networks as it is integral to their jobs, and so they can therefore help in connecting you with the right person. Having access to those networks including potential candidates who are not even actively looking for a new job or opportunity, becomes very valuable for you and probably unreachable otherwise.
6.??????Experts in recruitment!
This is what recruiters do for a living! So naturally, they become subject matter experts in the field of recruitment. They are efficient, knowledgeable, and committed. They know how to write, and where to place a sparkling job advertisement in order to maximise the number of possible applicants to then screen, and ultimately find the strongest ones for your organisation’s staffing needs.
