Why use a Recruitment Agency?

Question:
I currently employ 10 people and am looking to recruit an additional member of staff. In the current market with so many people unemployed is there any advantage to using a recruitment agency to assist me?

Answer:
Although there are a lot of people looking for work there is a definite mismatch of the skills required to the jobs available. There are a number of ways to recruit i.e. social media, job boards, the job centre, printed media and recruitment agencies.

The advantages of using a recruitment agency include a readily available database of screened and tested candidates from which they can provide you with a short list. They will arrange interviews and provide feedback.

At Jobshop you do not pay anything until the candidate you have chosen starts working with you. Using a recruitment agency compares favorably to the cost of placing a paid advertisement, the time and resources of the staff involved in the recruitment process and with no guarantee at the end of finding the right person.

At Jobshop we offer a scale of rebate for the first 12 weeks of the candidate's employment. Another popular option is to trial a candidate on a temporary basis prior to employing them permanently.

In this current climate more and more Companies are employing temporary and contract staff to fulfill a need without committing to a permanent employee.
