The benefits of a recruitment agency

.

A lot of CEO, HR and GM forget that recruiting new employees is time-consuming and costly with risks and any guarantees of succeed.

They launch their recruitment thinking they will find the perfect guy for the job.

In some countries because of the economic situation, they have a lot of excellent candidates to fit their opening position. It is easy to find the “perfect guy”. In North-America it is completely different. You have to convince and seduce the top talents to work for you especially if you are a foreign companie or a new one in North America.

What is the benefit of a recruitment agency to help hire professionals?

1. Networking

In North America, a recruitment consultant has strong networks and a clear idea of where to find your ideal candidate.

Another benefit of using a recruitment agency is their extensive knowledge about individual segments of the jobs market and the talent that is available in particular localities.

2. Advertising

Sometimes when employers advertise vacancies, they do not receive applications of the required calibre. Often, this is down to poor marketing; the high-calibre people they need simply don't see the advert. And if they aren't aware of the opportunity, they can't apply for the job.

The benefit of recruitment agencies not only advertise vacancies - both online and on the high street - but they actively seek out professionals who fit the job description. Recruitment consultants may establish direct contact with talented individuals they have in their database, having helped them find a new job in the past, and invite them to apply for the role. Some professionals might not be actively looking for a career change, but your vacancy could just tempt them.

3. Background checking, references

What are you speaking about? It is a question from a CEO when I started to tell him he has to do that.

The recruitment agency can conduct background checking on candidates invited to interview, meaning the employer's HR department doesn't have to.

4. Salary

In France, a Branch Director or an Engineer will get $45,000 per year. If you think you will find one for this price YOU ARE WRONG!

Before entering salary negotiations, recruiters can help you benchmark remuneration against other businesses in your industry and can provide valuable resources. Recruitment agencies are also actively placing skilled candidates and negotiating salaries involved in the hiring process.

5. Your HR is not an Engineer or a Business Developper

A recruitment agency has significant expertise and jobs market insight, internationally, nationally, and locally. Recruitment consultants have experience and some were in the position you offer. They understand your needs, candidate expectations.
