What You Should Know About Employment Agencies
November 10, 2020
Finding the right employee for every job opening isn't easy. It doesn't help that your time is already limited. How are you supposed to manage your daily tasks while also recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding new workers?
As with many tasks, outsourcing can not only save time, but it can also improve your results. By working with a recruiter, you'll have the benefit of a specialist with years of experience in talent placement. Most importantly, staffing agencies typically maintain a roster of talented professionals that they can call upon.
If you're thinking about working with an employment agency, here are some things you need to know.
Staffing Agencies Are Business Partners
A staffing agency doesn't just fill today's position. From the start, a recruiter will sit down with you and get to know your business's unique needs. The longer you work with an employment agency, and the more positions they fill for you, the better they'll be able to find the perfect candidate for every job opening.
Employment Agencies Specialize
When you're hiring for a position that requires specific skills, an employment agency is a huge asset. Say you're looking for a machinist, for instance. An agency that specializes in recruiting machinists will have the expertise necessary to vet candidates and send you only the best of the best. They may even have the right candidate already in their database.
Localization Is Essential
In addition to skills specialization, location specialization is also a huge asset. But this goes deeper than a general geographic area. Express Pros has talent specialists who cover the entire Middle Tennessee area, but they also have recruiters who focus on filling vacancies in Clarksville and Dickson, Tennessee. This hyper-specialization means they not only have a roster of talent in these cities, but they also know the unique staffing needs businesses in these areas face.
Follow-Up Improves Future Results
Determining your needs and matching you with the right candidates are only the first steps of the process. An employment agency will follow up with you after placing an employee to see how things are working out. This information is crucial to helping you with future placements. Over time, your employment agency will be on the lookout for great candidates for your workplace and be ready with recommendations as soon as you have an opening.
