Recruitment agencies
A recruitment agency is an organization that professionally mediates between the applicant and the employer.The essence of the work of a recruitment agency is that the employer pays for assistance in finding and selecting personnel who meet his requirements, and the applicant, in turn, is helped to find a suitable job for free in accordance with his wishes.
The amount of remuneration paid by the employer for the search for personnel depends on the amount of earnings of the future employee. Usually, this is a certain percentage of the monthly salary of the future employee or his annual salary. The cost of services of a recruitment agency is formed based on the level of vacancy, the level of service, the type of selection technology and quality.
In fact, a recruitment agency is a database of employers' requests and proposals from applicants, and the larger this database is, the more offers this agency can offer to both parties, the more solid it is considered.
What do employers and applicants get from cooperation with a recruitment agency?
For the employer to turn to professional recruiters is beneficial due to saving time and their own labor resources. The HR manager does not need to submit an announcement about the search for specialists and engage in preliminary interviews, the secretary does not need to spend time on phone calls, recording an interview, preparing questionnaires and other organizational issues. All technical and preparatory operations are carried out by the recruitment agency, the employer as a result receives carefully selected, in accordance with all its requirements, candidates for the position, with whom it is necessary to conduct a final interview.
For the applicant, the benefit in cooperation with recruitment agencies is that the search for suitable vacancies is carried out faster. No need to waste time on phone calls, fruitless mailing of resumes, as well as on unnecessary interviews.
There are agencies that, in addition to their usual duties, are engaged in the organization of various trainings, seminars, lectures on the topic of employment, that is, additionally engaged in educational activities. Institutions that use non-traditional methods of search and selection of personnel deserve special attention from employers. For example, instead of the usual tests and interviews, they arrange something similar to a stressful interview or a test for the speed of reaction and non-standard thinking.
But most often the traditional activity of agencies is the search for employees of rare qualifications, narrow specialization with a special profile education. For the most part, agencies work not on quantity, but on quality. That is why recruiters are not engaged in a mass search for employees for non-key positions, or are engaged on a contractual basis as a subscription service to their regular customers.
Who do recruitment agencies work for?
Absolutely all recruitment agencies position themselves as institutions that work for both the employer and the applicant. But in fact, the key client of any agency is the employer, because it is he who pays for the services of the agency. Only at the expense of the hiring party, recruiters receive their profit, since all services are free for applicants. Accordingly, in the Employer-Recruiter-Job Seeker relationship, the first participant is the buyer who pays and orders, and the last participant is the goods that offer themselves. It is according to this scheme that all reputable and trustworthy recruiters work.
