CEO Corner- Benefits of Using A Recruitment Agency

Written by Soong Chong, CEO

As we have approached the middle of 2012, I think it is important for companies to recoup and in a way summarise their achievements for the first half of the year. In turn, I also think its important to come up with a list of goals that the company hopes to achieve by the end of the year. For many companies, this may include acquiring new staff to further grow the business, which is why this month I would like to discuss the benefits of using recruitment agencies. They include:

• Cost Benefit
  There are a number of cost benefits associated with using a recruitment agency. This includes the cost of advertising & finding candidates yourself. Advertising can cost your business a lot of money, however by using an agency, they are able to take care of all of the processes involved with finding staff. Not to mention the time you save by outsourcing your recruitment needs which leads to my next point...
  
   
• Increased Speed of Hiring
  By using a recruitment agency you will save a lot of time as the agency takes care of screening candidates, interviewing, negotiating salary & payroll. We at EBR pride ourselves in keeping an up-too-date database full of excellent quality candidates spanning over a wide range of industries. In addition as agencies have numerous years of experience in recruiting for certain types of roles, they may have a better understanding of what is it you're looking for. They effectively complete the tasks quickly and with better quality. By doing your recruitment in-house your recruitment team may not have such expertise.
  
   
• Attain excellent quality employees for your business
  One of the best benefits of using a recruitment agency is the ability to select a candidate from the agency's large database full of people who are seeking employment in specific areas in the industry. The candidates have been screened, interviewed, tested and are ready to go, assuring quality & experienced candidates for your business.
