There are plenty of valid reasons why a business should use a recruitment agency to hire staff. The main reasons will vary from company to company as they have different priorities, but for most businesses the service offers a major pathway to access the market and locate local talent that they would otherwise not be able to find themselves. The advantages of using a good recruitment company ultimately boils down to saving time, money, and increased search quality.
The key advantages for using a recruitment agency are listed below:
The industry standard recruitment fees are between 15-20% of the first years annual base salary. However, this can go as high as 30% for hard to fill, specialist sectors. Our fees are lower than the industry standard – call us on 0161 532 8252 for a no-obligation discussion about your requirements.
We offer a 30 day free replacement guarantee on all permanent placements we make. If a candidate leaves employment within 30 days from starting work, our team of consultants get back to work to find you a suitable replacement.
According to Monster, the average true cost of recruiting a new staff member is approximately £4,500 using internal or external methods.
We personally think that to answer this question you need to ask yourself, how much is your time worth? Do you have the time to sift through hundreds of CVs per database (That will cost you around £200 per week to access, per database). Do you have the time to wait for advert responses from the job boards you pay for (at around £200 per 6 week advert per job board)? What happens to your time and money if you can’t find staff yourself or don’t have the time to phone and interview a large number of candidates?
If you fail to find staff yourself, you lose not only thousands in job board and database fees, but you waste thousands of pounds worth of your time and effort.
When you use a recruitment agency to find staff, you do not have to pay anything until 30 days after a successful candidate starts work. If they don’t start work, you don’t pay them a penny. The recruiter takes on all the initial risk, forking out for every major job board, multiple CV databases, CRM systems, staff wages and other admin costs. If they fail to fill the role successfully, the cost rests firmly on the recruiters shoulders.
As our name suggests we recruit across the whole of Greater Manchester and it’s ten boroughs of Manchester, Oldham, Stockport, Tameside, Wigan, Bolton, Trafford, Salford, Rochdale and Bury. If your business is outside of GM and you would like us to fill your vacancy we would be happy to work with you…we are often approached by clients based in Leeds, Sheffield, Preston, Rotherham and even London from time to time.
Recruitment companies are different from employment agencies – employment agencies supply temporary or contract workers who are employed by the agency. The employment agency will pay the workers wages and will charge the client a substantial on-going fee for the duration of the contract. Recruitment companies like Manchester Staff Ltd focus on permanent placements where the client becomes the employer of the candidate. In this case, the recruitment agency will only charge a one-off fee for finding the successful candidate.
