✅ Pros of using a recruitment agency:

1. They will save your time

Agencies take up the most time-consuming part of the hiring process: sourcing, screening CVs and portfolios, candidate communications, follow-ups, initial interviews, salary negotiations, and all the administrative issues.

It gives your in-house recruiters time to deal with more strategic things.

2. They know the industry

Recruiting agencies usually focus on one specific industry or profile (Engineering, Design, Gaming, etc.). It gives agencies a clear understanding of salary ranges, market specifics, and recruitment best practices. This way they also always have a network of the candidates who could be a fit for your position.

3. They will bring in new ideas

How many companies did you and your recruiters have a chance to hunt for? Do you know how your peer companies source, screen, and hire? Have you ever wondered how top-tier companies approach staffing?

It’s hard to evolve and introduce process improvements if the only way to learn is from your company’s experience. It takes time.

On the contrary, agency recruiters are always exposed to different types of clients, teams, and hiring issues, so they can give you insight, hands-on advice, and guidance on how to improve or optimize your staffing process.

Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to see the solution.
