If you’re looking to find exceptional talent for your business, get in touch with us today and let us show you how we can help.
Choosing a recruitment agency isn’t just about speed, it’s about quality, fit and understanding your business needs. Here are the key considerations you should keep in mind before engaging an agency:
Expertise and Industry Knowledge
Not all recruitment agencies are created equal. Look for one with experience in the industry, whether that’s permanent, temporary or specialist roles. Agencies that understand your sector can anticipate the skills, experience and culture required to succeed. At Personnel Placements, we offer tailored solutions for permanent recruitment and temporary recruitment, ensuring we match candidates who will thrive in your team. We work at all levels, including senior and executive recruitment.
Partnership and Relationship Fit
A recruitment agency should be a true partner. The best results come from agencies that take the time to understand your business goals and values. We believe that a recruitment partnership only works if it benefits both sides. If we’re not the right fit, that’s okay – but we hope you’ll choose us once you see the difference a dedicated, honest recruitment partner can make.
Avoid Engaging Multiple Agencies
It might seem tempting to use several agencies to increase your chances of finding the right candidate, but this can actually dilute the service you receive. Agencies work best when they have clear communication and a strong focus on your vacancies. Engaging multiple recruiters can also lead to confusion, duplicate candidates and inconsistent messaging – which can impact how candidates see your organisation.
Consider Retained Search
For senior or highly specialised roles, a retained search can be a more effective approach. This involves an agency dedicating resources exclusively to your search, providing in-depth candidate research and a highly targeted recruitment process. Retained searches ensure higher-quality candidates and stronger partnerships between your business and the agency.
Screening and Candidate Quality
A reliable recruitment agency thoroughly vets candidates before presenting them. Ask about the screening processes, including reference checks, interviews and skill assessments. This ensures that only candidates who meet your requirements are put forward, saving you time and effort.
Transparency and Communication
Choose a recruitment agency that communicates clearly and regularly. You should be kept updated on candidate progress, market insights and any challenges encountered. Open communication creates trust and strengthens the recruitment partnership.
