It can be a nightmare trying to find the right candidate for a position you have within your company. Some companies advertise the position themselves and carry out the whole recruitment process where as others chose to go through a recruitment agency.

There are many advantages to using a recruitment agency below are a few examples:

Knowledge of the market: any good recruitment consultant will know the market in terms of the types of candidates available, where to find them, what salary they will expect, career expectations and the hiring issues a candidate may have. With this knowledge they should be able to find you the right candidate or a number of candidates quite quickly.

Knowing how to contact candidates – Some candidates can be hard to reach. It may be that they are not currently actively looking for a job but that if the right recruitment consultant can put a proposition forward to them in an attractive way they may be interested. Recruitment agencies tend to be able to do this better than an employer trying to do it directly.
