Recruiting the best person for a role in your company can be a minefield as advertising, interviewing and employing a new employee can be a costly business which you do not want to repeat on a regular basis which is why many companies turn to a recruitment agency to fill their vacancies. Although the recruitment agency will charge a fee for their services it does take away a lot of the stress of finding people who are suitable qualified and experienced.
It is important to be clear with the agency the skills that are required for the role you wish to fill at the outset so that they can use this when they are looking through their database of clients who are on their books. For instance, if it is essential that the potential employee has certain qualifications then this should be communicated to the recruitment agency.
Flexible working hours and remote working have become the norm recently and any forward thinking company will need to embrace this way of working. Being able to offer these options will often result in more applications as employees seek to get a better work life balance with reduced commuting time. The quality of work produced by people given the opportunity to work in this way is often superior as employees’ welfare is often improved.
