Why Work With an Agency or Recruiters?

When you need to hire, you’ve always managed the search internally. However, you’re starting to second-guess this decision.

Maybe your turnover rate is high, your time-to-hire is above average or you just don’t have time to manage the process on your own. Regardless, working with a staffing agency can be a game-changer in the absolute best way.

Here are four benefits you’ll enjoy by teaming up with a recruiter to fill the next open position on your team.

Connect With Passive Talent

The best person for your team might not be actively seeking employment. Many passive candidates are happy enough in their current jobs, but willing to make a move if the right career opportunity presents itself. Recruiters fill their networks with these candidates, so they’re able to easily reach out if a job at your company seems like a good fit. This is likely the only way you’ll be able to reach them, highlighting the importance of working with a recruiter.

Get Help Screening Candidates

When searching through resumes, finding the right person for the job can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. If you have little-to-no hiring experience, you probably don’t know what to look for in the ideal candidate, as well as red flags that indicate someone isn’t the best choice. Since recruiters hire for a living, they’re experts at screening candidates, so you can feel confident you’ve hired someone who is truly the best choice.

Remain Anonymous

If your company prefers to hire under the radar, it can be hard to do this on your own. However, hiring anonymously is easy when you work with a staffing agency, because they’ll serve as an intermediary between you and candidates. This will allow you to attract top talent, without having to publicly reveal that your company is hiring.

Hire Faster

Being short-staffed is hard on your entire team, but filling open positions isn’t your only job duty. It can be hard to fit hiring activities into your day, which can cause positions to sit open much longer than anticipated. When you work with a recruiter, this is a non-issue, because they handle hiring for you. All you have to do is chose the final candidate, allowing positions to be filled quickly and efficiently.
