Need to find top talent for your contract, temp or perm role?

Finding the perfect candidate can take a lot of time, effort, and money. Especially in a sector where you may be overrun with choice and inundated with CV’s. Or on the other end of the spectrum, struggling to find any qualified match.

Posting an open role onto a job board is not enough. To attract the best candidates, you need to create a great candidate experience. You need:

Internal and External Recruitment

It can work very well to recruit new talent using your in-house resources. There are situations where the additional workload is not suitable for your business. You might find it difficult to attract and filter the right candidates, even with an experienced recruitment team.

The resources of your recruitment team may not be as extensive as those you can access with a recruitment agency. You may not have the time required to truly find the best person for the role. You may need to recruit someone fast, and benefit from someone who already has a database of relevant contacts.

When using a recruitment agency for contract or temporary assignments they will pay the candidates on your behalf (PAYE, Umbrella, or Limited Company). Which will help to speed up the onboarding process.

And for specialist roles, bringing in a recruiter with industry specific knowledge can help to find and filter the appropriately qualified and experienced candidates.

What is external recruitment?

A recruitment agency is there to help you, as an employer, find and hire top talent for your company. The right recruitment agency will take the time to get to know clients and candidates alike, to find the best match.

They are there to support you through the whole process. From targeted advertising campaigns, to shortlisting and ultimately working tenaciously to find you the best talent out there. A person or team that will bring in valuable skills to your company, someone who fits in with your company culture and ethos.

Need efficient payroll, onboarding, time and expense management?

Your recruitment agency is there to work to your needs. Whatever they may be. If you have very specific unique requests, your allocated recruiter is there to find that unique person for you. If you need to work to a tight time frame, your recruiter is there to help you find the best candidate out there within that timeframe.

Be sure to find the right agency for you. Some recruiters get paid commission, so you want a recruiter that carers about finding the RIGHT person, not just filling seats. The best way to asses if your recruiter is going to put the effort into finding the right person, is how they communicate with you. Do they take the time to understand your needs?

It is important to have an agency that takes the time to understand your company, your team and your needs. These types of recruiters are more dedicated to finding the right candidates for your unique situation.

It is also important to find an agency that is suitable for your industry and the roles you need to fill. Sector specialist recruitment agencies already have industry insight. They are better suited to find the best candidates for your needs. They even have ready-made networks of potential candidates relevant to the sector.
