Wider talent pool
  Agencies speak to a large selection of business and candidates on a daily basis and are more likely to have the latest news on what’s happening in the market e.g. firms that are relocating and as a result will create openings at the new destination while having redundancies at existing site.

Professionally drafted ads
  Modern advertising is costly and tricky to get right. Agenciespost far more frequently and hence are able toensure ads containingredients/formats that are mostly likely to be picked up by the correct target audience.

Headhunting
  At times when the skills required are a rarity and no such talent is available on the market, the only solutionmight be to prize away a current member from a competitor. Agencies shall map out a selectin of potential targets and make the initial engagement to gather interest. This is also useful when firms are replacing senior members thatneed to ensure hiring activities are kept discreet prior to securing a suitable replacement.

CV shortlisting
  Often a Job Ad would attract hundreds of applicants with little relevance. A carefully vetted shortlist of candidates are delivered to ensure hiring managers only speak to the ones worthy of their times. This means that they have already passed through a number of important checks including – motivation to move, ideal team fit, salary expectations as well as basic parameters such as language capabilities and right to work.

Interview administration
  Candidate interviews are arranged for the business at no extra cost. This can be a tricky &time-consuming task when a number of parties are involved and it’s always a struggle to agree on a time. Also interviewers and interviewees shall be fully briefed prior to the meeting to ensure both parties get the desired outcome in order to make a decision.

Offer Negotiation
  Top Candidates are likely to have options and being able to close an offer is a vital skill. Having someone sitting in a mutual point shall ensure the conversation is conducted in a professional manner and no ill feelings are harboured.

Additional Support
  A good agency would take care of onboarding document checks, references, and shall keep tabs with the new starter during the initial few weeks to ensure a smooth transition into the new role.

Market Intelligence
 Agency consultant shall be happy to give an objective opinion on the existing recruitment plan as well as to advise on new approaches that may yield a better outcome. Useful insights such as competitor activities are fed back constantly to ensure the business are kept up to date with what is happening in the industry.

Enhance your brand awareness
  Agency recruiters need to put in more effort to highlight the unique points of your business in order to differentiate from the completion. Stereotypical views develop frequently in any industry and having a third party representation shall appear more objective and therefore more likely to sway any already formed opinions.

Zero Risk
  Under the contingent model you would only pay once the candidate show up on the 1st day of work and in most places there is a rebate period which guarantees a replacement or refund in the event that the hire do not work out as planned.
