Benefits of using a recruitment consultancy
20 Aug 2007
Recruitment Consultancies are an excellent way of matching both client and candidate. They can be an "extra voice" for the candidate and can make introductions to clients where they have established business relationships. Most recruitment consultancies will insist upon meeting their candidates, which is beneficial for the applicant to find out exactly what their career aspirations are and to offer some handy tips and advice.
It is time-saving for the client too - no more short listing through 80 or 90 applications where only half a dozen may come close to hitting the mark!
A good recruitment consultancy should be considered as an extension of the client's HR department, championing the reasons for joining the organisation as they are often the first point of contact when it comes to discussing a specific role with a prospective candidate.
