How to Choose a Reliable Recruitment Agency?
First of all, let's agree about definitions: recruitment agency is an organization that professionally searches and selects personnel by order of the employer, taking into account all nuances and conditions of customer.
But finding a truly reliable and professional agency is not so easy nowadays, because any business has its own peculiarities.
Stafferty has picked up a few points to look out for when searching for a really good recruiting agency:
-
how long has the company been working in the HR services market;
-
compliance of an agency’s commercial offer with your task (e.g. recruitment, temporary staffing, etc.);
-
brand’s recognition and reputation;
-
clients’ recommendations and comments;
-
compliance with legal requirements with respect to clients and candidates;
-
if there is an expertise in the field you are interested in (e.g. selection of personnel of certain professions for specific industry, region, etc.);
-
use of digital technologies that are compatible with your company’s software;
-
commercial terms (price, guarantees, time frames, etc.)
-
your personal previous experience with the hiring firm as a candidate or a client.
Don't forget to pay attention to the details during the conversation or talks with representatives of agency, they can also give away the sincerity of intentions or problems inside the firm.
