Are you a client wondering whether to use an agency?
When it comes to a business looking for new staff, it can be a long-winded process, wasting both time and money. The use of a recruitment agency takes this all away making it quick and efficient without the extra stress. It is one less thing for a company to worry about; an agency having the skill set to successfully help them out whether that's in temp, perm or contract.
The speed of a hiring agency is much quicker . The whole process is shortened as recruiters have a vast talent pool stored within a database. It’s easy to search through and select candidates suited for the role. Recruiters have a clear idea of where to find certain types of candidates and can actively seek them out. Agencies have a network of connections which can be easily accessed.
The use of a recruitment agency can ensure high quality candidates as recruiters have experience analysing applicants, meaning they have the ability to find the best candidates. Candidates go through pre-screening and reference checks with the agency, so the client can be guaranteed candidates who have already been interviewed and assessed.
Another big decider in whether to use an agency is the specialist recruitment knowledge. Most recruiters are specialised in a specific industry and are skilled in recruiting candidates fit for the desired roles. This leads to recruiters being knowledgeable of the technical jobs and can identify transferable skills. At Venatu Recruitment Group we have specialists in all our ten sectors:
- Automotive
- Contact Centre
- Construction & Engineering
- Engineering & Manufacturing

- Human Resources
- Industrial
- Catering & Hospitality
- Sales & Marketing
- Professional Support
Clients are a main focus in the process of recruiting with an agency as there is time and effort given even when a negative outcome is possible. If an agency is unsuccessful in assisting a client to fill a role, there would be no payment taken so there is no benefit for the agency. Agencies like to focus on providing the best candidates and can do this by building a relationship with the client, so they’re aware of the expectations of the candidates.
So why use a recruitment agency?
It’s safe to say recruiters have an advantage when finding candidates as they have knowledge of the market. The candidates selected have already been interviewed and reference checked which ensures they are high quality. Specialist Consultants gain knowledge from their sectors, so they know where to find the right candidates. Overall, it is very beneficial for a business to use a recruitment company to find the best individuals for a job.
