Why use a recruitment agency?

Well, Careerbuilder.com have conducted a survey and found that 41% of companies surveyed have made a bad hire in the last year that cost them at least $25k, with some companies reporting costs of $50k or more!

We can quite believe it. We have seen the results when companies rush into taking on employees, or don’t do enough research into their new team member. Too many companies don’t even check out references, which is madness.

As Careerbuilder.com found out, bad hires can lead to poor quality work, and an increase in customer complaints, which affects profitability both in the short and long-term. Then there is the work involved in not only terminating the new employee’s contract but then finding yet another member of staff. It can be a never-ending circle of hiring and firing.

While there are brilliant employees out there who will be perfect for you and your company and will find their way to you without you having to do proper interviews, or check references, by making sure you have robust hiring procedures in place, you will reduce un-necessary costs accrued through bad hires.

It’s easy to say you just don’t have the time and need to fill a position quickly. We understand. This is fine if you have $25k to throw away – or £15k in our money – but if you don’t, then speak to us. We don’t quite cost £15k (we wish) and you never know, you may find that by using a recruitment agency like us not only do you reduce your chances of a bad hire, but find you the superstar you have always dreamed of!
