As a business owner you, there may come a time when you need to take on extra staff. In order to do this you will need to go through the recruitment process. Not all companies use the same methods for recruiting staff as some companies choose to advertise and carry out the recruiting process themselves. Other businesses chose to outsource all or part of the recruitment process to an agency. Obviously it is more costly using a recruitment agency but it can take a lot of the stress out of the process and can save time. It may also mean that you reach more potential employee’s giving you a larger choice when it comes to making your selection for interviews.
Most recruitment agencies will vet all applicants first and even conduct a mini interview over the phone to see if they are suitable. If they feel they are, they will then contact their client and ask if they would like to invite them in for an interview. A recruitment agency will usually charge the client a set fee or a percentage of the salary when finding permanent members of staff and will take a cut of the employees wage if they are finding them temporary work.
