Partnering with a recruitment agency to hire in-demand talent
Top talent is always in demand, and with the plethora of job vacancies, they have their choice of opportunities. With the many transit projects going on in the Greater Toronto Area, a recruitment company might be the solution to optimize your recruiting process and welcome the best talent to your team.
4 Benefits of working with a recruitment agency
1. Industry knowledge and experience
Staffing agencies are dedicated to keeping up to date on industry knowledge. When you work with a staffing agency, you automatically gain access to this knowledge and benefit from their expertise. With agencies keeping tabs on the market knowledge and trends, they can make recommendations to better your productivity.
2. Save time and money
Although clients pay for their services, a recruitment agency can actually save you time and money. Recruiting and hiring alone can be a lengthy process, and when time is of the essence, efficiency is vital. Overall, partnering with a recruitment agency can decrease turnover and training costs.
3. ‘Try before you buy
A staffing agency can help you fill a variety of positions, whether they be permanent or temporary. Hiring a temporary employee through a staffing agency allows you to give a probation period before extending any permanent offers. This period gives you a chance to evaluate their skills with no obligations. Sort of a ‘try before you buy’ if you will. Even if a candidate is technically qualified, they might not always mesh well with the company. Traditional interviews don’t always allow you to see specific weaknesses. Bringing on a temporary worker supplied by a staffing agency will enable you to confirm they are qualified as stated and their personality matches.
4. Ready-to-hire Network
Recruiting agencies already have a massive network of people at their fingertips. Live Assets has a database of 15,000+ talented candidates seeking work in technology. Our database is like an endless Rolodex comprised of diverse candidates, all with their own unique skill sets.
Training a current staff member can be time-consuming and put a dent in your project plans. If your transit project requires a particular skill set that isn’t currently present, then a staffing agency is the place to turn to.
