There is little doubt that finding the right staff is one of the most important aspects of successful business growth and development.

However, the end-to-end recruitment process is an increasingly time and labour-intensive undertaking, with the process of finding, interviewing and hiring candidates one that can place significant strain and expense on a business’s day to day operations.

As such, partnering with an external recruitment agency can provide a wide range of worthwhile benefits throughout the recruitment process so that you can focus on day-to-day tasks without the added stress of trying to find the right staff.

Below we outline a few key benefits that could come for your business as a result of partnering with a recruitment agency such as Workforce Extensions:

• Increase hiring efficiency

While recruitment is generally a time-consuming undertaking at the best of times, the process of crafting job descriptions, reviewing resumes, conducting interviews and communicating with candidates is particularly substantial for HR or management teams that have a variety of other competing responsibilities. On the other hand, a recruitment agency specialises in finding and attracting talent and is well-versed at completing this process in an efficient manner.

• Save costs

While there is obviously an up-front cost relating to engaging a recruitment agency, this often pales in comparison to the cumulative costs of advertising to the market and vetting candidates that are associated with an ongoing in-house recruitment process. Agencies are able to streamline this process and ensure the cost is kept to the agreed amount without the potential to spiral upwards.

• Access a wider talent pool

One of the key advantages that comes from partnering with an external agency is the increased reach and access to an established pool of candidates that can be utilised to find the best available talent for your business and the role at hand. A local and experienced agency such as Workforce Extensions will have well-developed relationships with high-quality candidates that they have previously communicated with for other similar positions, meaning that they will be able to provide you with the best possible staff for your needs.

• Focus on primary business activities

Perhaps the biggest benefit of outsourcing your recruitment needs is that it leaves you and your staff to do what you do best – driving growth, innovation and development for the business – without having the added stress and time overload of also managing the hiring process. This ensures that your staff aren’t stretched too thin and streamlines the delegation of tasks so that the company can operate as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
