A major disadvantage of a recruitment business is that anyone can start it without any qualification or experience and it’s true in India that most of the recruitment agencies are taking advantage of this factor as they promise to provide recruitment services from an unskilled labor to a company CEO! This has resulted in a lot of negative client experiences which has stained the image of recruitment industry in India as a whole. That is why it’s very important for employers to work with certified and experienced recruitment agency in India that has been in the recruitment business for a considerable time.
In recent Years, recruitment has become far more complicated and process oriented work where it takes more than matching a CV to a job description to find the right talent. A professional recruitment agency and an experienced HR manager knows it through experience that a successful match is often because of constant interaction between the recruiter and the hiring manager where they can communicate and understand the candidates profile more intrinsically.
A professional recruitment agency understands that to thrive in this recruitment age one must build long term business relationships where one has to forgo short term benefits like transactional recruitment done without any prior knowledge about the industry. A professional recruitment agency hires consultants from the same industry it’s providing recruitment so that it can gauge more than what a candidate resume tells about the candidate and is of immense help to HR managers as recruitment agency has already screened basic technical knowledge and prior experience of the candidate by conducting a face to face interview of candidate with one of its recruitment consultants.
There is a common misconception that the sole role of a recruitment consultant is to match a resume with the job description provided by the HR manger. While, it is true that many recruitment agencies just do that and leave most of the time taking and cumbersome work to HR manger for shortlisting the candidates. However, a professional recruitment agency would go 2 to 3 steps further too screen the candidates further either by personal interview, background check and other techniques so that candidates screened by them are of good quality and it’s the candidate that matches the job description not his resume.
A professional recruitment agency charges competitive fees based on the services it offers. Because if a professional recruitment agency compromises on its fees then it would not be able to retain qualified recruitment consultants who can gauge candidates and hence hampering the quality of the services offered. In the long run, a nominal fee by a professional recruitment agency compensates for the money lost in HR manager time wastage, high attrition rates, failed background verification and other unnecessary cases.
A professional recruitment agency not only has a good quality database of candidates but also an updated database from various fields that it uses to source talented candidates. Apart from this, if it appears that a better candidate could be found then a professional recruitment agency also does a paid advertisement campaign for that particular position to source more candidates. Going a mile extra, is what differentiates a professional recruitment agency from a normal recruitment agency.
A professional recruitment agency offers more than a candidate to an HR manager it helps in saving time and costs by helping and most of the time completely taking over the entire recruitment process so that it can provide the right talent because of high quality database and advertisement campaigns it offers and further it acts as a consultant by offering industry insights and current salary trends so that you as an employer can make better recruitment forecasts.
