In the fast-paced world of business, time is a precious commodity. Every minute spent on non-core business activities is time taken away from driving growth and innovation. One of the most time-consuming tasks for any company is recruiting the right talent. This is where a recruitment agency can make a significant difference. Partnering with a recruitment agency not only brings expertise to your hiring process but also saves your company valuable time.

Here’s how:

1. We handle the advert writing and advertising of the vacancy across various platforms

2. Due to continually engaging in the market, we can provide insights and salary benchmarks at the first stage of the process, so you don’t waste time advertising a role that is not competitive within the current market and lose precious time finding the right candidate

3. We have access to a database of candidates where we may be able to fill your vacancy before it even needs to go online

4. Handling large volumes of applications and filtering out unqualified candidates, streamling the process for you

5. Our expertise can help us to filter through applications quicker, as we have built up valuable knowledge of identifying reg flags and other characteristics that may deem someone unsuitable or suitable for a role

6. We handle the initial candidate screening ensuring that only those who meet the job requirements reach your desk. This means you don’t have to sift through countless CV’s and applications

7. Conducting preliminary interviews to asses disposition and cultural fit before referring them for interview

8. We can spend the time it takes to chase and verify references for candidates so you don’t need to

9. Compliance checks will be completed on all shortlisted candidates, including right to work documentation, visa expiry, FLT licence verifitcation etc. reducing your administrative workload and ensuring compliance

10. Our vetting process, plus the option to recruit on a temporary to permanent basis, helps you to make more informed hiring decisions, reducing turnover and minimising the need for repeating the hiring process

11. By having a partnership set up, we can help with scaling up recruitment during periods of rapid growth to get hires through the door quicker during your peak periods. We can build up a list of available candidates to have on standby should you require extra staff at short notice

12. Managing the communication and feedback with unsuccessful applicants and hires

13. Save on the time it would take to induct your new starters, as we can assist with the candidate’s induction and health & safety training

14. Stop losing time trying to find new starters on their first day, we can be onsite on the candidates first day to make sure they have arrived safely onsite

15. Our in-house payroll team will process the payroll for all of the candidate’s we supply, taking pressure off your accounts team
