Why use a recruiter
You need people … but have you considered the true cost of recruitment?
- How long does it take to fill a role in your company — with the right person?
- How much time do you spend on writing ads and job specifications, posting jobs and screening out applicants who don’t match your job criteria?
- And how much time do you spend preparing letters of offer or compliant employment contracts?
Investing in a recruiter to quickly find top qualified candidates is much less than the cost of leaving the vacancy open. This becomes even more apparent if you factor in the amount of time, energy and money spent on all your in-house recruiting efforts.
Focus on your business
A professional recruiter can take the pain out of the lengthy and costly recruitment process, allowing you to keep focused on your business. And with today’s skill shortages it is more important than ever to use an experienced recruiter who knows the employment marketplace (including the ‘hidden job market’) and can give you realistic, up to date information on salary expectations and employment conditions.
A recruiter can also provide essential analysis and advice – their role is not just to fill a vacancy but to provide the right candidate to solve your staffing needs.
Minimise the time you spend screening hundreds of resumes and conducting phone interviews. Streamline your interviews – a professional recruiter will send you very well screened, motivated and professional candidates. And regular communication with thorough follow up helps smooth the process.
