If you are an employer looking to fill a vacancy that you have you will probably be all too familiar with the usual time consuming process and costly expense of advertising the job and then trawling through a mountain of CV’s the then having to interview a number of candidates before finding the right one.

It is thought that on average it costs a business approximately £4500 to fill a vacancy, this is in advertising and time. Agencies take a lot of the hassle away from you but doing all the advertising of the job, filtering through CV’s and then pre assessing people that you wish to attend an interview.

Agencies charge a fee for their service which is often a percentage of the job roles’ annual salary. This is often why it is a good idea to employ more than one agency to find you candidates as you will only pay the one who supplied the applicant that you employ. Although this is the way most agencies work, be sure to check the terms and conditions of each one.
