What Does a Recruitment Agency Do?

Finding work can be difficult, both from an employee’s and an employer’s perspective. Employees may struggle to find roles that fit with their busy lives, while employers may find it difficult to find someone who truly fits the needs of the business. Recruitment agencies can help bridge this gap, making sure both employers and candidates are able to find what they need quickly.

Here’s our quick guide to how recruitment agencies work.

What is a recruitment agency?

A recruitment company helps to connect job seekers and employers to expedite the hiring process for both parties. They will consult with employers on what skillset and qualities they need to fill their vacancy and then find candidates that fulfil those requirements. This could be from an existing database or by advertising the role in specific places.

Why use a recruitment

agency?

Recruitment agencies are experts at what they do. For employers, they can help save time and money that would otherwise be spent on searching for a candidate, including producing adverts and reviewing applications. Agencies can ensure that all these processes happen efficiently and are optimised, including things like writing a job description and advertising in the correct spaces.

For candidates, employment agencies can offer help with their job search. Many candidates will be interested in specialist recruiters that have a focus on their sector and work with potential employers that are suited to their skillset. They may also offer advice on CV and cover letter writing, interview prep and other areas of the application process.
