The Shrinking Labour Pool
Currently employers are struggling to find and retain employees simply because there are too few qualified people out there looking. More than ever recruitment agencies are being called in not only for all the above crucial reasons, but because of their unique ability to find and attract the right people, people who can do the job, and who will stay.
Our member agencies routinely visit even non-client companies to demonstrate the documentation and processes that allow you to avoid costly mistakes. There is no charge for this service, and it means that if for some reason a new staff member is required urgently in the future, the employer can have enormous confidence that the agency team can step into action, immediately and effectively.
In selecting a recruitment agency, ensure that:
* The agency has at least 2 years in business. There are some great start-up companies and you don't want to discount them just because they're young.
* The principal has more than 7 years' experience as a senior recruiter, as well as HR qualifications.
* The agency has at least one dedicated HR consultant on board.
* They are a member of a recognised association for HR professionals.
* They thoroughly understand not just recruitment issues, practices and procedures, but thoroughly understand overlapping HR considerations.
* They have quality systems and procedures in place and can readily step you through them.
* They have many client testimonials, from employers and candidates alike!

Professional recruitment companies can not only cut this dramatically, but are often able to offer a warranty period up to double the industry average because they consistently do the following important tasks so much better.
