Why would you use a Recruitment Agency to find a person in 2020?
It’s 2020 and we are still waiting for flying cars, however the world has become more and more advanced and most services you can just go to the internet and find what you need. So why are companies still using recruitment agencies?
Saving on Workload
When managing people or actively working on the R&D of a new device, reviewing 100’s of applications for the right type of person can be daunting and may not take priority over the latest issue you need to deal with to keep business moving forward.
This means the perfect person, who may be in that pile of applications, would have most likely moved on to another role by the time you review their details.
By using a recruitment agency, they filter these applications, so you only need to review a handful of people. Something that would take hours and hours is suddenly limited to maybe an hour. Saved time = saved money in the majority of companies.
Getting to review a wider pool of people and saves you Money
If you only recruit directly, you could be limiting the number of people you consider for the role.
Just like going to a comparison website for insurance to save time, candidates will often register their details with only a couple of specialist recruitment agencies so that they can focus on their day job while the recruiter finds them a number of options.
If you advertise the role (either on a jobsite or on your own website) you need to hope people see your advert and apply but you may be one small advert or careers page out of 100’s when people may not go past page two of a search engine or job site.
If the person who applies directly is better than the candidates you receive from a recruitment agency, fantastic…. You have the best candidate and saved money. However, if the best candidate comes via a recruitment agency and that person’s work makes your business more money….. fantastic, you’ve also saved money and have the best candidate. When a company “cheaps out” on a product they often end up stung, the same goes for getting the right people into your team of people.
So, by using a recruitment agency you both make sure you have a wider pool of people, assuring you hire the best person and save money at the same time. I know often, people look at using a recruitment agency as a cost they can cut but if using them gets you the best inventor who creates a one-million-pound idea, was that recruitment fee that bad?
Manages the person’s expectations for You
One of the main reasons someone withdraws their application is not knowing what is happening with their application.
You may have interviewed someone and really like them, but you want to see the other two people you have booked into an interview because it’s the fair thing to do. This will take over a week, so you tell this first person “we’ll get back to you in two weeks” as standard process. When this person hears nothing for a week, but another company are making them an offer, they will often presume you are not interested in them, thinking “otherwise they would have come back to me already”, and take the other role. If you are using a recruitment agency, they will be in continual contact with the person, so they know the process is still normal. The recruiter can also tell you if the person has received an offer from another company, giving you the chance to progress quicker if needed.
Protect your company’s Reputation
Surprisingly, this is one note a lot of companies do not think about. As mentioned, you may receive 100’s of applications. It is unlikely that your main role is replying to these applications so you naturally only get back to people who you feel would be suitable for the role.
The problem with this is you have a lot of people who never hear back from you. When talking to friends in your sector they could say things like “don’t apply to them, they never get back to you” which can result in really good people ignoring you.
When using a recruitment agency, if they do not get back to the candidates it is their reputation not your company’s that is being affected. Also, if you already have this reputation, a recruiter can convince the person that your company is worth making an application to. I’ve had people join companies who have told me “I would never have applied to this company if you had not spoken to me”.
Bit of advice when using a recruitment Agency
A lot of people have horror stories when using recruitment agencies, so here are a couple of tips that should help you find the best one for you;
So why would you use a Recruitment Agency to find a person in 2020?
In a nutshell, why not? It’s a free service and you only pay on success. There is no automated service than replace recruiters just yet, and I’d expect this to be the case for a long time.
