An employment agency is a company that is responsible for finding employees for other companies when they need them. To say that in other way, an employment agency is paid to be the middleman between a wide spectrum of companies in different fields and industries looking for employees and people, who are looking for jobs and careers.

Why Use an Employment Agency?

If you are a business owner, you know how competitive the market is nowadays, no matter the field and industry of your business. As we all know, good employees are the most important asset of your business, therefore you want to hire the best ones in your field. With a very competitive and candidate-driven job market, it can be a serious challenge to find the best employees and hire them, no matter what you are offering and if your offer is the best one. This is when an employment agency can come very in handy and help you narrow down your options to the best choice. An employment agency will help you hire the right people for the open job position.

Four Main Reasons for Choosing an Employment Agency

According to recent studies, there are four main reasons that motivate employers and companies to rely and work with an employment agency.

• Saving time – The process of organizing, managing, and monitoring a campaign of hiring new employees for open job positions is pretty much challenging and can take a lot of time. Precious time you, as a business owner, will need for focusing on other important things. An employment agency will save this precious time by saving the time of your employees and your time for organizing and managing a recruitment process. Secondly, an employment agency will already have different candidates in their applicant pool, because this is their job. In many cases, some of these candidates will already be the perfect fit for the position. Therefore, an employment agency will save additional time for looking for candidates.

• Improved Quality of Hire – Recruiting candidates and employees is literary the job of an employment agency and what they do for a living, this is why they know how to do it right and effectively. An employment agency can also be specialized in a certain industry or business field and make the whole process even better in quality and efficiency.

• No In-House Hiring Expertise – An in-house recruiter is expertise not many companies have, especially smaller and middle-sized ones. However, hiring such professionals can be expensive and an additional thing to deal with. Working with an employment agency can be more inexpensive and easier for you as a company owner or manager.

• Additional Security – An employment agency can offer an additional security when it comes to the new hire retention. In addition, a reputable and reliable employment agency will offer you a guarantee period, which means that the new hire will stay at your company for a certain period of time guaranteed, or you will be provided with a new candidate for no extra charge in case of the new hire leaves before the end of this period.

Is It Expensive to Work With an Employment Agency?

It all sounds great and working with an employment agency, however, many employers may be considering it as an expensive service and an expense that cannot be supported by the company’s budget. However, compared to the average cost of filling an open position in-house can be much higher than paying an employment agency to do the job for you. In addition, the cost of the in-house recruitment process can vary a lot depending on the position, the company’s recruitment strategies, etc.

• The number of people you need to hire

• The industry

• The type of open position

• The salary for the position
