Questions to ask your job recruitment agency
We’ve assembled some questions you can ask your professional employment recruitment agency to optimise your business’ staffing solutions.
- How much will this cost? You should understand how the agency is getting paid for the services it provides.
- How many job seekers are currently signed up to your database? Get a feel for the amount of people your local recruitment agency has access to.
- What is your average time in processing a successful applicant? Empty positions can cost an enormous amount. Profitable companies that leave a $70,000 position open for just one month may be losing out on $10,000-$30,000 in lost revenue.
- Where do you look for talent? Gauge where they build their network and tools to find the best talent for the role.
- How do you attract talent? Understand how they are motivating their talent base to apply for your position and how they are filtering applications.
- What other services do you provide? Some agencies offer resources to help you improve your search or tidy up your position description.
