Hiring a recruitment specialist can make the process much easier on your end and offers a multitude of benefits. If you’re wondering, ‘are recruitment specialists worth it?’ the answer is yes, and we’re here to help explain why. In this blog, we explore eight reasons to hire a recruitment specialist.
8 reasons why you should hire a recruitment specialist to handle recruiting
To help you understand the value of recruitment specialists, here are eight ways a recruitment specialist can change your approach to recruiting:
1. Faster hiring
Fast hiring is undoubtedly one of the most beneficial aspects of hiring a recruitment specialist. When working with a consultancy like Recruitmark, employers can put their requirements and expectations in the hands of experts.
Knowledge of particular industries and experience enables recruitment specialists to speed up the entire hiring process.
2. High-quality candidates
In the recruitment industry, specialists build up a network and know precisely where to source the right candidates. Providing organisations access to high-quality candidates you may not have come across before.
At Recruitmark, we use our proven recruitment methodology to assess your needs and contact high-quality candidates.
3. Specialist recruitment knowledge
Just like you have expertise and knowledge in your industry, recruitment consultants have specialised knowledge and hiring processes that work to get you the best candidates for the role.
From the current employment market to candidates’ job requirements, a good recruitment specialist can share this knowledge with you and apply it to your recruitment process.
4. Market knowledge
Among the pros and cons of using a recruitment specialist, their market knowledge is undoubtedly advantageous.
The market constantly changes, sometimes benefitting businesses and other times not so much. The current market is undoubtedly favouring applicants looking for employment opportunities. A recruitment specialist will be able to keep you updated with any market changes and share how you should adapt accordingly.
5. Extended reach and networks
A recruitment specialist helps businesses find the right candidates for them. They will likely have experience working with other businesses and candidates in their chosen field, so their network can be huge.
At Recruitmark, we have worked with many businesses in industries such as engineering, energy, renewables, wholesale, professional services and more. Our network in these areas is extensive, and we can put you in contact with the right people who suit your requirements.
6. Saves money
Although it's a common perception that recruitment specialists cost more than internal recruitment, this is not always the case. While recruitment specialists charge for their service, due to their expertise and ability to expedite the recruitment process, you may save money in the long run due to:
Cutting back on time spent away from other work
How quickly the role can be filled
Reducing the chance of an unsuccessful placement
Marketing, job posting, and the hours spent by team members trying to fill certain roles can add up. While recruitment specialists aren’t free, hiring one may still be more cost-effective.
7. Less work on your side
For most businesses, recruitment is just one small part of the overall work they are doing. Ideally, once all open roles have been filled and a strong team has been built, businesses can reduce resources put towards recruitment temporarily.
However, with industries like engineering that are notorious for having a high employee turnaround and the changing market enticing team members to move on, you can find yourself putting more and more time and resources into recruiting.
When you hire a recruitment specialist, they do the work for you and use their expertise to do it well. Recruitmark works as a part of the businesses they partner with, meaning you can delegate essentially all of your recruitment work to us.
We work hard to find the right candidates, so you don’t have to. Leaving you to tend to other important parts of your business.
