5 Reasons To Outsource Your Recruitment

Staff turnover is often cited as a major drain on the resources and the efficiencies of a business. This is not just the time and effort it takes to recruit new people, but the drop in standards of employing the wrong people and the time it then takes to train new people to the standards expected. This all impacts on the productivity of the business, while morale and the motivation of existing personnel can also be influenced by seeing people come and go through a revolving door. Therefore, getting recruitment right is essential for any business with ambitions to grow and prosper.

Recruitment is a specialist service area, much like other activities that we might look to outsource, such as cleaning services and security services. This means that we may have resources within the business to carry out certain roles and responsibilities, but this is not always effective, or compliant, and isn’t utilising the skills of these people where they are best served. Outsourcing recruitment to a specialist company, such as CSA Recruitment, can bring a number of benefits, and here we have listed the five main reasons why you should consider this for your business:

Dedicated expertise

Outsourcing your recruitment to a specialist organisation means you have the services of professional recruiters, who know the standards and characteristics required for your business. This can result in an improvement in candidates, which will ultimately improve the standards of your business in terms of productivity and quality. It will also result in better matched candidates, which will reduce staff turnover, and bring multiple benefits.

Knowledge of the job market

A specialist recruitment services provider, such as CSA Recruitment, will have cross-sector knowledge and hence can be adaptable to access a much wider talent pool than you could yourself, including those suited to permanent employment and temporary employment. Different areas of the business require different skills and expertise, and a recruitment specialist can access these resources and can understand the experience, qualifications and characteristics required for each role.

Faster recruitment process

Most recruitment specialists will have a readymade roster of available candidates and will also have robust selection processes, which means the recruitment process is much quicker than if you undertook the process yourself. With a dedicated service, a recruitment specialist is devoting 100% of their time to your recruitment needs, and is not distracted by other core responsibilities. This results in a better standard of recruitment that is also much quicker, and enables your key personnel to focus on their everyday duties.

A comprehensive recruitment service

The recruitment process involves a number of different stages and a recruitment specialist will take care of all of them for you. This involves agreeing an initial job profile, advertising for candidates, selecting possible candidates, interviews, final selection, HR processes and induction training. Of course, as the ultimate employer, you can be involved as much or as little as you want at any stage, but you can also enjoy peace of mind that a specialist service provider is looking after each stage, and you also will have a dedicated point of contact at all times.

Flexible recruitment processes

While a recruitment specialist can provide a complete service as outlined in the previous section, you can also tailor the service to receive whichever of these services you want. But in terms of flexibility, the key benefit is in having resources to hand which you can scale-up or down as you need to. Many businesses have seasonal demands, or have short term requirements for events or specific sales projects, or simply need to react quickly to busy periods. A recruitment specialist can manage this demand for temporary staff and can take care of the administrative burden of this variation in workforce needs.
