Agencies

Introduction

• Working with an employment agency helps
  employers save time and acquire candidates with
  the required industry acumen. Choosing the right
  employment agency is, however, a daunting task,
  especially when there is no dearth of employment
  agencies in Dallas, Texas. To make your job easy,
  we discuss four major factors that you should
  consider when screening employment agencies.

1. Talent Pool

• An employment agency is as good as its ability
  to place the right candidate. A smaller local
  employment agency may claim to have extensive
  knowledge about the industry, but may have a
  limited talent pool. On the other hand a bigger
  employment agency may boast a larger talent pool,
  but then quantity may not equate to quality. When
  choosing between staffing companies look for
  those with a deep talent pool.

2. Recruitment Process

• Its great if employment agencies you are
  considering, use the latest methods of
  recruitment, however, whats even more important
  is the process that they are following. Before
  you decide to hire an employment agency, its a
  must to know everything about their recruitment
  process. Ask them how they attract candidates,
  whats their screening process, what tests do
  they rely on  to screen those candidates and
  several other such important questions.

3. Recruiters Network

• The success of an employment agency depends
  upon the experience and expertise of its
  recruiters.  Recruiters play the utmost important
  role in placing the right candidate. Right from
  understanding the clients requirement, to
  communicating what the candidates can expect from
  the company a recruiter does it all. Before
  onboarding an employment agency, find out the
  required details about the recruiters. If, for
  instance, you are recruiting for a technical
  position, you need to find out whether the
  recruiters have technical backgrounds.

4. Market Reputation

• You would find more than a few companies
  that make tall claims of being best in the
  business. Dont just blindly trust them. Ask
  these companies for references of clients who
  they have worked for, and call those references
  to find out how satisfied they are with their
  services. You can also check client testimonials,
  or check online reviews. Any awards or any other
  form of recognition that the agencies receive is
  also one of the ways to find about their market
  reputation.

Conclusion

• Having an in-house recruitment team may make no
  business sense for small businesses with a tight
  budget. Similarly, large organizations would
  require the help of employment agencies to
  shoulder the burden of their huge staffing needs.
  To make sure you are hiring the right staffing
  agency consider the four important factors
  mentioned in this PPT, and you are a step closer
  to hiring the right candidate.
