subject: Why Companies Choose Recruitment Services [print this page] A recruitment service can provide the average person looking for work more opportunities than they have on their own. A recruitment service allows the average person that wants to find a better job, or a job in another field, or a position that has more pay, the ability to be actively searching for employment opportunities while they maintain their current position. Still, why do companies want to hire a recruitment service?
Companies that do use an employment agency to help them locate likely candidates for the openings they have generally got better quality employees. This does not mean that every person that is hired through the human resources section of the company will be unfit for their job. What this means is that the majority of people that are sent to a business via recommendation from an employment agency are more dedicated and are generally ready to be full time employees rather than stay a few months and quit.
Companies that do not use a recruitment service to help them find the applicant for the positions they have open have to either have a person on their payroll that interviews, advertises for positions that are open, does background checks, and sets up drug testing procedures for the possible candidates. These companies spend a great deal of money keeping someone on their payroll that does all of these jobs.
In order to have someone in-house that does the jobs of an employment agency the business will need to provide that person with a yearly salary. They will need to give them benefits, and vacations, retirement packages, and if they have a small turn over in personnel then they pay this person a large portion of the time to not do anything.
When a company hires an outside agent to recruit candidates to interview for job openings they can generally pay the agent a flat rate to find them a prospective employee. When the opening the company had is filled they no longer have to pay the agency any money. When they need another employee found they hire the agent again to assist them in locating the next employee.
Another thing that the companies like about using outside employment agencies to help them staff their offices is the fact that many of these agencies do the preliminary background checks on the applicants before they send them to the company for their first interview. Some of them even assist the company by having the prospective employee get drug tested so when they go for their first corporate interview the company representative is certain that the person they are interviewing is capable of being hired immediately.
The UK recruitment services are no different that the employment agencies anywhere else in the world. A UK recruitment service takes on the task of filling an opening in a company and they do this professionally and quickly.
