If you’re looking for new talent to join your team, you might be wondering whether to hire internally or use a recruitment agency. Both options have their pros and cons, but in this blog post, I’ll share some of the benefits of using a recruitment agency over hiring in-house.

Save time and money

Hiring in-house can be a time-consuming and costly process. You must advertise the job, screen the candidates, conduct interviews, negotiate salaries, and handle the paperwork. A recruitment agency can take care of all these steps for you, saving you time and money.

They also handle the contracts, payroll, and compliance issues, so you don’t have to worry about them. Supplytrain is a not-for-profit recruitment agency, and this means you can be assured you will always receive excellent value for money, and we are affordable for businesses of all sizes for example, we charge a flat rate for early careers recruitment, with a 13-week rebate period of things don’t work out.

Get expert advice and guidance

A recruitment agency can offer you valuable advice and guidance throughout the hiring process. Supplytrain can help you define your job requirements and write a compelling job description based upon information given as this provides us with valuable insight so we can write a targeted job advert to attract the candidates you’re looking for. Due to working with over 200+ employers Supplytrain can also advise you on the best practices and trends in your industry, and help you avoid common hiring mistakes.

Access to a pool of talent

A recruitment agency can tap into their network of candidates. Supplytrain has a database of 1000s of candidates looking for a career, not just a job and we are continually adding to this list. The Supplytrain team look beyond a 2-page CV to focus on the skills and attributes that are important to your business. We encourage recruiting for attitude and raw potential and training for skills.

Reduce turnover and improve retention

Hiring the wrong person can be costly and damaging to your business. Not only do you have to deal with the consequences of poor performance, but you also have to deal with the hassle of replacing them. A recruitment agency can help you avoid this by finding the best fit for your role. At Supplytrain we assess the candidates’ skills, personality, values, and motivations, and ensure that they align with your expectations and vision. This way, you can hire someone who will stay with you for the long term and contribute to your success.

As you can see, using a recruitment agency has many benefits over hiring in-house. If you want to save time and money, get expert advice and guidance, access a pool of candidates, and reduce turnover and improve retention, then a recruitment agency might be the best option for you.
