How to Choose a Recruitment Agency?
Firstly, let's agree on a definition: a recruitment agency is an organization that professionally searches and selects personnel by order of the employer, taking into account all nuances and conditions of the customer.
But finding a truly reliable and professional agency is not so easy nowadays, because any business has its peculiarities.
Stafferty has picked up a few points to look out for when searching for a good recruiting agency:
-
the time that the company has been working in the HR services market.
-
compliance with an agency’s commercial offer with your task (e.g. recruitment, temporary staffing, etc.).
-
brand’s recognition and reputation.
-
clients’ recommendations and comments.
-
compliance with legal requirements with respect to clients and candidates.
-
if there is expertise in the field you are interested in (e.g. selection of personnel of certain professions for a specific industry, region, etc.).
-
use of digital technologies that are compatible with your company’s software.
-
commercial terms (price, guarantees, time frames, etc.).
-
your personal previous experience with the hiring firm as a candidate or a client.
Don't forget to pay attention to the details during the conversation or talks with representatives of the agency, they can also give away the sincerity of intentions or problems inside the firm.
