Guide to Employment Agencies and Recruitment Agencies

A staffing firm can free more time for daily management


 
 

Working with Employment Agencies

  • Employment agencies offer a menu of services up to outsourcing the entire recruitment process.
  • Employment agency billing can vary from a percentage of salary to a flat fee.
 
 
You're racing against the clock to get new products to market. You're handling sales calls and seeking out financing to fuel growth. And now, you need to hire more people to meet your growing needs. Bringing in a third party to coordinate your recruitment efforts may be the best solution so you can stay focused on revenue-generating tasks. Recruitment and employment agencies can handle the following:
  1. Posting job openings.
  2. Tracking and pre-screening applicants.
  3. Running background checks.
  4. Ensuring compliance with labor laws.


Action Steps for Hiring an Employment Agency

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Action step for working with employment agencies. Choose which responsibilities to farm out You may decide that some parts of your human resources functions don't need to be outsourced, and that some portions are best handled internally. For instance, you may want to hire a recruitment or employment agency simply to handle filling temporary employment slots or to manage outreach programs such as college recruiting or job fairs.

I recommend:  The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association provides an online form you can fill out to analyze when to turn to recruitment agencies or employment agencies. For temporary help, try Business.com’s directory of temp agencies and for general HR outsourcing specialists, use the directory of human resources outsourcing firms.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Posting jobs Look for a firm that will use a variety of sources for job postings. Some HR outsourcing firms have affiliations with certain job posting sites or organizations and will limit their efforts to those.

I recommend:  Accolo uses every source possible for job postings — including referrals, job postings and professional organizations — and offers pay-as-you-go plans that are especially suited to small businesses.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Pre-screening candidates Having someone else pre-screen applicants is one of the biggest time-saving benefits of employment agencies and recruitment agencies.

I recommend:  View an interactive presentation of Manpower's online pre-screening tool, which uses custom questionnaires

Action step for working with employment agencies. Using the Web Make sure that any firm you consider takes full advantage of online recruiting tools to simplify and streamline the process.

I recommend:  Recruitment Enhancement Services (RES) uses Web-based applicant tracking, automated online scheduling and a host of interactive sourcing tools.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Staying within the law Asking interview questions that get the information you need but remain in accordance with hiring laws takes experience, experience you may not have.

I recommend:  At TalentConnections.com, a seasoned recruitment professional handles recruitment tasks so you don't get into legal trouble.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Taking advantage of major firms Although smaller companies may offer more personalized service, large, nationwide recruitment and employment agencies boast certain advantages. For instance, major firms often have voluminous résumé databases at the ready.

I recommend:  Spherion, which has more than 2,000 recruiters, boasts a database of more than 2.5 million résumés.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Considering costs Recruitment agencies and employment agencies charge in a variety of ways, including a percentage of the salary of the hiree, a project fee or a flat fee per hire.

I recommend:  Take an online tour of HyrianOnDemand, which is geared to smaller businesses and charges a flat fee per position that averages one-fifth the cost of a search firm.

Action step for working with employment agencies. Using a recruiter for high-level hires Executive recruiters keep an eye on who’s who in your industry and will identify and approach candidates who may not be actively looking for work.

I recommend:  Business.com’s directory of executive recruiters lists many leading firms.

Tips & Tactics for Working with Employment Agencies

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Don't get overwhelmed. There are dozens of recruitment agencies and employment agencies that would love to win your business. Remember that your ultimate goal is to bring on employees who will assimilate well into your business culture and help you reach your objectives. Apply the same tactic when choosing a recruitment firm.
  • Stay flexible. What works today may not be necessarily the best solution in a few months. While outsourcing offers benefits particularly in the start-up stages when you are being pulled in several directions, you'll want to evaluate the pros and cons occasionally.
