Taking Aid of Professional Recruitment Services Can Make Real Difference

Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed in 2016 that the wrong hire could cost a company anywhere between $8,000 and $15,000 and loss of time duration of about 6 to 8 weeks in the hiring process. If larger firms are considered, they too can't afford to pay the high price of poor performers once hired. According to an estimation of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, bad hires cost the company "well over $100 million." To avoid these problems, companies use a professional, well-tested staffing and recruitment firm.


A well-known recruitment company who has tons of experience will provide a wide range of solutions to both candidates and employers. Some of the services that you employers could receive include:


Candidate Research

A skilled recruiter has several resources to find candidates and researches their information. From social media to job boards or contacts from other business, a professional recruiter will generate an appropriate set of candidates for your staff requirements by doing the correct queries in their profile databases.


Efficiency: 

These days, companies do not have enough time to follow the recruitment cycle of giving a job ad, selecting potential resumes, screening them, conducting interviews and selecting them. Instead, they outsource it to a major HR firm, that does all these functions effectively. So, when you approach such staffing firm, you have an advantage of getting hired with such firms who rely on them. Sometimes few employers do not know much about the job they want to fill. That is when a specialized recruitment agency may come in handy. Also, with the expertise and experience that the staffing agencies carry, they are more efficient in sourcing candidate, than the in-house HR department of a company. 


Saves Cost & Time: 

Employers hire through staffing agencies, as mentioned above to cut cost and the time of hiring processes. Most of the companies, except few who have their own in-house HR services, outsource the part of recruitment processes like per-employment calls, testing, background checks, screening and selection processes and even drug and health screening. 

In the present market scenario of high unemployment, if the job opening is available for a good and well-paid job, it is obvious that a lot of candidates would apply, which means a lot of resumes will be received by the employer. So, the HR services need to follow the routine of going through all those resumes, select potential resumes, call them for an interview and then conduct the round of interviews which is very time-consuming and involves a lot of cost as well. 

As this whole process is being passed on to staffing agencies who are specialized in conducting these activities, the company can cut down on costs and use this time productively for it's other business activities.


Quick Hiring: 

The job market has increased majorly and it is not the same as it was a few years back. The candidates have got upper hand now. It is difficult and long process to hire now these days than in older days. Hence, the businesses are increasingly relying on hiring agencies than finding a right employee. Also, if it is a high-level job normally, they are not advertised and are recruited through few major staffing agencies.


Connections & Network: 

Staffing agencies have good contacts in industries and companies that a candidate may not be aware of.  A staffing agency has a huge database of applicants and prospective employees with varied talent pool and skills. Not only do agencies have a vast database, they also have a huge network of employers, that can be a source of opportunities for employees. 

While the in-house HRs of a company are normally in touch with only one group of people and have only the needed expertise, the staffing agencies have a broader reach in terms of connections it has. It also is aware of what is the current trend of technology, how the technology is changing and what kind of candidates are required to be hired for a company keeping in view the technological advances in a field. 

This is where the candidates should take advantage of and use the expertise and experience of staffing agencies in using its leverage to get hired. Also, few employment agencies have specialists in hiring for certain field or for a company.


Specialized Recruitment:

Few specialize recruitment firms hire for few sectors like IT staffing and they have the latest recruitment and market information about their sector. Moreover, they can provide useful interview tips and aid you in preparing for interviews. Their prowess in the field of specialization makes sure you get the latest and best opportunities in the market. Also, they being depending on you and having a stake in your success makes it much easier for you to prepare for the interview. Because their reputation greatly depends on the placing good candidates to employers; It’s in their best interest to prepare you well for a potential job.


Reduced Risk:

Being an employer is not easy, as there are a lot of legal responsibilities involved, like covering some taxes, contribute insurance coverage and ensuing labor laws. There is also a financial and operational risk, like when an employee leaves unexpectedly. These liabilities can be reduced when an employer uses a staffing firm.


Market Research:

A recruitment company is often overloaded with job seekers year-round. This amount of information provides the staffing firm with experience in separating the qualified candidates from those who may not be the right fit for your needs. Staffing firms also know the market salary rates, preventing you from under- and overpaying employees.

Often, these passive candidates have the most up-to-date skills and experience.
