Client Tips

Getting the 'Most' from your Recruitment Agency

Recruitment and expansion are two words that might not be at the forefront of every business owners’ mind in the current financial climate. However, many small businesses need to grow and develop in order to survive.

“When faced with recruiting for a position, business owners can be tempted to conduct the process themselves, but this will become a time consuming and therefore costly exercise for many. If you know how to get the best out of a professional recruiter, you will save time and money, and you’ll get the ideal staff to help grow your business through tough times,” says Jonny Breeze MD of Yellow Cat Recruitment.

“Letting an expert recruitment consultant deal with this crucial element of your business will take the stress out of the process and leave you free to continue with the day to day running of your business.”

Jonny recommends the following steps to get the best out of your recruitment agency:

Treat the agency as an extension of your business.

Invite your consultant to come down and get to know your employees and encourage them to get a real feel for the office environment. Talking to members of your team will allow your recruiter to match potential employees into your company culture with more success.

Let your agency do the legwork and take the stress out of the process

Your recruitment agency can begin to deal with all the processes from the moment you decide you need new staff. Your agent will write up the job specification, use the right avenues to advertise the position, carry out pre-interviews to screen applicants, negotiate any issues on your behalf, and advise throughout the process…so that you don’t have to.

Invest time instructing your consultant

Take the time to have a chat with your consultant to go through the key elements of the job and explain the type of person you would ideally want for the position. With a strong and specific idea of the sort of candidate you are looking for, your consultant will be able to save you a lot of wasted time by only sending you people that fit your exact requirements.

Have an honest and trusting relationship with your agency

Be as honest with your agency as you can. Let them know about every inch of your company; your plans for future expansion and your business aims. Anything that differentiates your company over the rest will help them in selling your company in to potential employees.

Keep your consultant updated

Stay in touch with your consultant and keep them updated on how your needs may be developing throughout the recruitment process so that they can respond to your needs.

Get advice from your consultant – they are the expert

When speaking to your recruitment agency use them as a soundboard. Ask any questions and enquire about the current job market. Your consultant should be market savvy and will know your industry as well as you do, so will be more than happy to give you advice on what to expect during the recruitment process.

Give honest and truthful feedback

Try to be as honest as possible following interviews with applicants. This will help your agency redefine the person they are looking for saving a great deal of time and allowing you to only interview candidates who have been personally selected by your trusted consultant.
