The majority of thriving businesses around the world credit their workforce as the most important factor in achieving success and growth in their chosen market. Recruiting the right people is therefore crucial in ensuring your business realises its full potential. 

 So, with recruitment such a critical part of your business’ growth, why leave it down to chance? The world of business is changing rapidly therefore outsourcing your company’s recruitment has a whole wealth of benefits. Here are Recruitment Solutions Wales we take a look at some of the top reasons to outsource to a recruitment agency. 

 Focus on Core Business 

Recruiting new staff with the sole aim of recruiting new staff seems nonsensical, so what most firms will do is adapt the roles of their existing workforce. Recruitment is left down to sales manager or a member of human resources. Whilst they may understand what it is your company need from a new employee, focusing on recruitment will take them away from their primary responsibilities. Consequently, your business will suffer in other departments, making your recruitment drive counter-productive. 

Rapid Growth / Seasonal Spikes 

Very few businesses will experience stable, organic growth all year round. From SMEs to the companies currently occupying the FTSE 100, all firms will at one point experience a period of unprecedented growth or enjoy busier periods of the year than other parts. Using a recruitment agency will enable you to recruit on demand, facilitating a major recruitment drive at any given time of year. The agency will have a whole host of candidates readily available before you even know that you need them. 

Reduce Costs 

The whole recruitment process can be costly, therefore allowing a recruitment agency to share the burden has huge benefits. From advertising the vacancy on job boards, running the rule over all CVs received and then arranging and conducting the whole interviewing process, operating a recruitment drive in-house takes a lot of time, manpower and money. An agency can roll all these stages of recruitment out into one, streamlined procedure. 

Lower staff turnover 

The time between making the decision to recruit and getting those new employees through the door is priceless. Therefore, when companies recruit in-house, that turnaround has to be a fast one. It can then lead to a rushed appointment. A recruitment agency on the other hand will build a profile of a potential employee. The vetting process can be thorough, an agency can then be better positioned to pair a potential employee with not only the right role but the right business.  

Understanding a company’s culture and expectations can help an agency find better-suited and better-qualified candidates.  

Competitive Advantage 

The recruitment industry is changing all the time with everything from the tremendous growth of social media as a recruiting tool to the latest recruitment technology available on the market. Using an agency that is ahead of the curve, up to date with trends and essentially has their finger on the pulse when it comes to recruitment will keep you ahead of the competition. 

A successful recruitment agency will get you better staff, faster and more frequently using the latest innovative technology and techniques available within the recruitment industry. This can also give smaller businesses the chance to compete with larger, more established companies on a level playing field.
