It’s 2020 and you can easily post a job online, whether it’s via your corporate website, job listing websites, or even LinkedIn. So why use a recruitment agency to fill the position your company needs? There’s more than one reason why a recruitment agency is more than helpful in finding your next hire. We’ve enumerated the benefits of using a recruitment agency.

Recruiters Save the Company Time and Money

Finding a great hire doesn’t need to take away time and effort from managers and company leaders. Reviewing resumes, funnelling candidates, and interviewing can be highly time-consuming.

Instead of having the hiring process distract employees who can be focusing on their main responsibilities, turning over recruitment to the experts will ease the process for everyone and keep the managers on top of their everyday workload.

Recruiters Keep Employers Focused on Work

While the company saves time and money with the help of recruiters, employers can focus on what they do best, getting all the job done without having to worry about the hiring process.

Unless hiring great employees is in the company’s core competency, there is no reason for the company to shoulder the intricacies of hiring. Having the right recruitment agency by your side will definitely ensure this.

Specialised Recruiters are Experts

Recruiters who are experienced in the same industry your company is in have better chances in finding recruits with the specific specialised skill set you are looking for. They understand industry jargon, know what to look for in CVs in terms of accomplishments, and know the candidate’s language fluently. It will be easy for specialised recruiters to find candidates that are qualified versus those who are not.

Recruiters Attract the Best Talent

After carefully processing the job description you’ve provided, recruiters know where to exactly look. Whether the best hire for the position to fill is actively or passively looking for new opportunities, qualified recruiters know where to find them.

More often than not, the most qualified talent you are looking for isn’t looking for a new position. They’re out and about working for another company. Great recruiters know how to approach and use their network as leverage when introducing hires to great opportunities like working for your company.

Recruiters Take Less Time to Fill Roles

Having a position open can be costly to your company and can affect productivity within the organisation. You may have spread the responsibilities of this one open position to different employees, or they are being totally ignored. Instead of maximizing one position, this can cause loss of productivity within the team.

Recruiters are giving 100% finding the right person to fill the position needed, and are only focused on finding qualified candidates. This means their commitment, expertise and established networks make it easier to fill the roles in less time.

Many top organisations benefit from niche and specialised recruitment partnerships. With the right recruitment agency, you can speed up your time to hire, find better people and focus on growing your business.

In order to progress to the interview stage of the hiring process, your resume needs to be able to hook in its reader as soon as it’s viewed. Recruiters go through so many resumes, and sometimes it takes them less than a minute to decide whether you are a qualified candidate that will move on to the interview stage.

You can only put so much in your resume; you have to make sure that it is enough clear, concise, and consistent information to get you that interview. So what do recruiters look for in a resume? Here are the top things you need on your resume to secure that interview:

Correct Roles and Responsibilities

You need to customise your resume according to the job you’re applying for. It is important to know your audience and make sure that the roles and responsibilities you are offering to the company are the qualifications they are looking for. Showing the recruiters that your previous roles and responsibilities are the same or similar to what they are looking for immediately makes you a match and a qualified candidate.

Experience

Expertise is based on experience. Experience is immediately scanned by recruiters as employers can be specific in the years of experience they want their hire to have. Did you have any career progression? Did your responsibilities add up as the years go by? These are indicators of how experienced you are in the industry.

Useful Skills

Make sure the list of skills are useful to the position you are applying for. Unless you’re a chef, cooking skills don’t matter in your resume. Include all the skills you’ve used and learned from your previous roles. This ensures how capable and suitable you are for the available role.

Achievements

Including industry accomplishments, lets recruiters know that you’ve done more than just an average job at your last post. This is also a clear picture of the results of your work. Recruiters know that having achievements means you’re not just doing the bare minimum job, you’re doing it very well! Achievements don’t always have to be industry specific, if you are a software developer, you may have built a cool application in your spare time that effectively schedules all the teams for soccer practice at your local school.

Education

Make sure to put relevant educational certificates, particularly the ones that are deemed desirable or even essential in your field of work. Although this is not as relevant as experience and achievements, some companies require their upper management employees and leaders to have certain masteral degrees in the field.

Readability and Clarity

The recruiters will not have time to read long paragraphs so make sure your resume is clear and concise. You may use bullet formats. Keep sentences short and straightforward and consider they may be read on a mobile device so keep them mobile-friendly. Remember that recruiters will not spend hours on your resume so giving them all the information they need easily makes it easier to process your qualification. Only put the necessary information and be consistent.

If you’re planning to apply or level-up your career, take time to review your resume. Keep these in mind and you are sure to get that interview!
