The recruiting agencies are mushrooming like anything. The recruitment industry has become quite ubiquitous these days and moreover, you will find a recruiting agency specific to industries also. With the boom in the economy, there are as many job seekers as there are job providers. And recruitment firms have a crucial role to play in bridging the gap between job seekers and providers. Today many firms are finding it quite convenient to outsource recruiting requirements. But before you make that vital decision to go for a recruitment firm here is a sneak peek into the pros and cons of using the services of such agencies.
Who knows more about your company culture?
No doubt, you do! Company culture is quite inclusive and integral to an organization. The in-house HR team knows every bit about your company’s culture and the hired recruiting agency just beat around the bush. The kind of employee, his attitude, the culture from where he is coming and his personal traits is all well known to the HR team. But when it comes to outsourcing, the company is only going to play just mix and match. Trying to fit in a less deserving candidate into a job position. But Diskriter, do believe in developing and nurturing a relationship with the organization so as to provide you with the most suitable candidate.
Extra burden on company’s pocket!
Recruiters ask anywhere in between 10% to 30 % of the new candidate’s starting salary. Nevertheless, this amount may seem to be trivial at first glance but can easily turn out to be a gigantic amount when you need employees in bulk. Some of the recruitment agencies also ask for advance payments which may turn out to be going down the drain if the agency fails to provide a suitable candidate. The above cons may drift your mind a little from availing the services of an outside recruiter. But the pros are heavier than the cons on a balancing scale. Here are to name a few.
Human touch!
In this technology-driven world, all are connected digitally and the human interaction has become quite a thing of past. So when your team is in the pursuit of hiring a candidate, then all the interaction will be through via digital media except around the table interview. But headhunters make it a point to always remain in touch with their candidates knowing the inside-outs of their skill-set. This gives them an advantage as they exactly know where and how to utilize the candidate’s skills and experience. On the other hand, companies just shortlist candidates based on their superficial skills mentioned on their curriculum vitae. Only after recruiting the candidate do they realize their mistake which costs them handsomely not only in terms of cost but also precious organizational time and resources go in vain.

They have this solid network of connections that give them an edge over your HR team.
