They do not have the time to waste interviewing candidates for jobs. It is challenging enough to run the day to day operations of a company. Recruiting services have the staff and expertise to retain qualified candidates for firms that are in need of highly skilled employees.
Benefits of Using a Retained Search Firm
• Skilled Talent
• Saves Money
• Saves Time
• Better Resources
Skilled Talent
Recruiting firms will do the leg work required to see if a candidate is qualified. This involves detailed reference checks and background checks. The recruiter can determine the level of expertise by reviewing resumes and interviewing the prospective hire. Recruiters are well trained. They know the tricks, so they will be able to screen candidates successfully. Moreover, recruiting firms have pools of candidates from which to choose. They have a better chance of spotting the most qualified candidates for the job.
Saves Money
When companies try to recruit on their own, more often than not, they waste money trying to cut corners and end up getting unskilled workers. They use various low-cost leads in hopes of landing the right person. It is a guessing game because no one is doing the screening. It is up to the boss to do his or her screening. This could mean paying more money to get better-qualified candidates. The best option is to use a recruiting firm and pay a one-time fee. The company will save money in the long run.
Saves Time
It takes time and effort to search for the right candidate. The boss is busy running the company, so he or she cannot spare the time. Employees are busy trying to get their work done, so they do not have the time either. Companies can lose productivity when trying to recruit on their own. Recruiters are qualified to do this type of work. They do it every day and effortlessly, so why not let them do the legwork. The time it takes to recruit, could be time used to garner new business.
Better Resources
Recruiting firms know the ins and outs of the industry, in that they know candidates who are looking to leave a current position. They contact placed employees to see if they are happy with their jobs.
Moreover, they ask said employees if they know of anyone who is looking for a job. They have a huge database that is constantly growing, which gives them access to unlimited contacts. They also know who is unemployed.
It is challenging enough to run the day to day operation of a company. No one wants to be on the phone screening candidates for a job. The last thing a boss wants to do is to conduct interviews for an entire week, especially if there is an urgent need to hire an employee. Let someone with years of experience do the job. The screening process will take less time and cost the company less money. Vertex Recruiting Solutions can help. Please call 1-800-284-5415 to set up an appointment.
