You might be hesitant to reach out to a recruitment agency for a number of factors. You might think that it is a waste of time or money when you could be doing your recruitment yourself. Below are some reasons that a recruitment agency might be a beneficial supplement to your business.

Saving you money

The cost of a recruitment agency will save you money when compared with the cost of a bad hire. The amount you might spend on paying for job boards, resources spent on training, and the salary of a candidate who is doomed to fail, only to have to start over again, will end up being far more than the one-time fee of a specialist agency.

Most candidates aren’t applying for jobs

At any given time, only 20-30% of people are actively seeking a new job. This means that that portion of candidates are online on job boards applying for positions through different channels. However, much closer to two thirds of candidates are passively seeking a new role – this means they are waiting for something new but are not actively applying for jobs.

Through using a recruitment agency, you will have access to those passive candidates – job seekers just waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.

Saving you time

It can be a long process to fill a vacancy within an organization – anywhere between 1 week and 3 months depending on lots of different factors, including market conditions, the seniority of the role, and what the role has to offer. This can put huge strain on the hiring team and/or hiring manager.



A recruitment agency can save you the pressure of the hiring process. We can carry out the search for you, including: sourcing CVs through job boards and our AI enhanced database, assessing candidates CVs, conducting interviews with candidates ahead of you meeting them, and negotiating salaries on your behalf, while providing them with information about your company to ensure the fit works the other way around, too.
