Feedback for Recruitment Agencies

Recruitment agencies are in a fairly unique position in the business world whereby they need to build good strong relationships with both their client (the Employers) and the individual staff looking for placements (the Employees). The good “HeadHunters” within the recruitment world are able to understand the needs of the Employers for which they work (& are ultimately paid by) providing them the right candidates, at the correct time, and for the right positions. They need to work with the candidates who are looking for employment (or a change of career), build a trustworthy relationships and understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to correctly identify possible roles for them within the companies with which they represent.

It is a very competitive market and each position the recruiters are looking to fill is different and unique from one job to the next. No two jobs are the same! The aim being to get the job filled in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

So what are the Challenges?

  • Affective administration
  • Reducing “Cost/Hire” Indicators (KPI’s)
  • Short-listing Good Quality Applicants
  • Protecting your brand and companies reputation. Getting the right candidate for the right job is normally more important than the speed of fulfilling the role.

All of this is about building relationships and trust with the companies and employees. They need to get to know you and be confident with your work ethics and performance. Certain roles and positions require a high level of confidentiality, professionalism and being discreet. Ultimately, if you can achieve this then your best form of advertising for future work will be free!! — Through Word of Mouth and Testimonials.
