Information for Solihull Businesses on using Recruitment Agencies

Most businesses in Solihull and in the UK generally tend to turn to recruitment agencies in order to meet their recruitment and staffing needs. Although this is a costly option rather than the businesses going out and recruiting by themselves, it is an efficient and better option as recruitment agencies specialise in this field.

Below are some of the advantages for businesses for outsourcing their recruitment needs to a recruitment agency rather than carrying it out in house

·         It is the responsibility of the recruitment agency to ensure that candidates shortlisted for interviews are suitable for the assignments. They would usually do this by obtaining detailed information on the requirements of the business and by applying proper selection procedures including where appropriate, skills testing.

·         In the case of temporary workers it takes away the hassle of the complex compliance process relating to statutory payroll deductions for the businesses.

·         It gives the business comfort that the agency will resolve any issues that will arise including problems with the candidate.

·         The agencies follow up with references on temporary staff before recommending them to the business. This saves the business time and gives the confidence the prospective candidate is well regarded by previous employers.

·         As the recruitment agencies screen the applicants beforehand, the business will only see strong candidates who can demonstrate through relevant work experience that they have the necessary skill set. This save the business time and money in admin costs.

·         The business will know exactly the cost of the recruitment drive as they will have agreed the charges and the guarantees that apply to the service.

·         Businesses do not have to pay for the advertising of the vacancies; they are filled for a fixed cost with no risk to the business. Agencies also have a database of candidates and may not even need to advertise the job.

·         Using recruitment agencies allows businesses to react quickly and easily when the need to recruit arises. All the business has to do is to tell them about the job and profile of the person they are looking for.

·         By using the recruitment agencies the name of the business can be concealed, removing the need to worry about customers or competitors finding out that staff has left.
