With the manufacturing industry’s current demand to fill open roles, finding and hiring the ideal candidate can be hard. Many companies turn to recruitment firms to help them recruit the right people. 

Here are the three main advantages of working with an executive recruitment agency:

Specialized Recruitment Agencies Have a Network of Highly Qualified Candidates 

You’ll find that working with a recruitment firm that specializes in searches within the manufacturing and distribution space will save you a lot of time and effort in finding the best candidates in the market. Due to their years of experience in recruiting for the industry, most firms have an established network of talent that they have already pre-screened and pre-preferred. This means that you’ll only be speaking to the best candidates for the roles that you need to fill. Recruiters will also give you an insight into what is currently happening within the market and can provide you with useful advice that can help you find and hire better candidates. 

Specialized Recruitment Agencies Will Save You Time

Senior business leaders find that the recruitment process takes an average of 52 days. As a result, more leaders report spending more time on recruitment. Using a recruitment agency will help you save your employee’s time and significantly shorten the full cycle recruiting process. You won’t have to spend time and resources attracting candidates and going through pages and pages of profiles and applications to find a few qualified candidates. Recruitment agencies act as a filter, ensuring that only the right candidates with the right skills and qualifications go forward for consideration. Recruitment agencies can also be tasked with scheduling interviews and deal with all the administration issues like communicating to successful and unsuccessful applications, as well as verifying candidate information like qualifications and references. 

Specialized Recruitment Agencies Will Save You Money

Believe it or not: working with a recruitment agency can save you money! Rather than paying for an expensive ad on a national job board, recruitment agencies know where to post effective job ads and reach out to the right candidates on the right channels. They also take care of pre-screening assessments and background checks which will remove the burden on your in-house staff who can continue to perform their normal tasks uninterrupted by recruitment campaign administration. Recruitment agencies can also qualify candidates through the skill sets you require, which reduces training costs. Furthermore, working with a specialized recruitment firm will reduce the likelihood and cost of hiring a candidate that is a “bad fit” for the role.
