How the Right Recruitment Agency Can Save You $38000 per Employee Appointment



How the Right Recruitment Agency Can Save You $38000 per Employee Appointment
   

Every employee who leaves costs you an average of $38,000, according to the Centre for Community Economic Development. 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.

• Examining the Role – Fitting People to Culture – The best way to fit people to culture is to examine that culture from an objective (outside) perspective.

• The Right Advertisement – With so Few “Fish”, the “Bait” Must Be Spot On! – Is copywriting what you do for a living? It’s a crucial part of the range of professional services provided by the best agencies.

• Culling from an Initial Telephone Appointment – Saving Time and Maintaining Your Image as an Employer of Choice – Even though you may well have the expertise to sift through applications and pre-screen by telephone, do you have the time?

• The Interview Process – Asking the Hard Questions, Nicely – This is a crucial part of the process of fitting people to culture.

• Testing – You’d Be Amazed How Infrequently This is Even Done! – Agencies have access to 100’s of different types of skill testing, as well as psychological testing/profiling to ensure the person really can do the job.

• Thorough Reference Checking and the Executive Report – A summary which gives you a snapshot of who that person is and their behavioural style.

• KPI Negotiation, with Simple Check Lists to Give You Confidence They’ll Do the Job – This is the only way to monitor the performance of your staff and have confidence that the job is being done correctly. KPI’s ensure performance, and clarify job roles so there can be no misunderstanding. This way you NEVER come to the end of probation but remain unsure!

• Letter of Appointment and Contract – No loose ends, no misunderstandings or nasty surprises.

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!
