Are you considering working with a specialist recruitment agency? Here are the five benefits of doing so.
There are many recruitment agencies out there, some more generic covering a wide variety of sectors and job openings. However, you will also get more specialist recruitment agencies who have in-depth knowledge of their sector, and only really focus on one specific area, ensuring that they really understand the area they recruit for.
When it comes to deciding on what recruitment agency to use to help you hire; choosing a specialist recruitment agency with a niche, within your market area is crucial to make sure you get the most out of that recruiter, so they can offer you more tailored services.
Navartis has over 18 years’ experience and specialise in project focussed technical recruitment. We have really found our niche within the rail, civil engineering, power, telecoms and construction sectors, supplying various clients across the globe.
Here are 4 of the most significant benefits of using a specialist recruitment agency when hiring talent into your team…
Large network of candidates
A specialist recruitment agency will have a large network of candidates that they have built up over the years. This can be through networking events, LinkedIn connections, referrals, and good long-standing relationships where candidates trust the recruitment agency they use. Due to the specialist recruiter really understanding their market, it results in candidate’s wanting to continue using that specialist recruitment agency for future career moves.
As a specialist recruitment agency has an extensive network of quality and skilled candidates, this will make the time to hire a lot quicker and efficient, providing you with a good shortlist of market professionals.
Plus, a specialist recruitment agency speaks to many candidates who might not be actively on the market, who would typically apply for a role via the company’s website. They consequently are able to tap into those passive candidates who might possess those specialist skillsets you are looking for – again, broadening the talent pool they can present to you.
At Navartis, we are proud of the relationships we have built up with our candidates, which is demonstrated through our excellent reviews, and consistent candidate referrals.
Industry knowledge
A specialist recruitment agency speaks to professionals within their industry daily, from understanding the sector, getting market insights and upcoming projects they really learn the inside outs of that market area. This helps recruiters to whittle down a refined and relevant short list to present back to you, as they know what a good candidate looks like from their skillset, experience and if they will fit into your businesses culture.
Our consultants have built up a strong knowledge of their market area, which helps contribute towards a successful placement.
A specialist recruitment agency helps to reduce hiring risk
Due to the continued relationships a specialist recruiter has with their candidates, and knowing exactly what they want from their next job, they can establish which candidate is going to be the best fit for your role.
A specialist recruitment agency will ensure that they aren't trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Also, a specialist recruitment agency will strive to find candidates who are not only qualified but also aligned with your company's values and long-term goals, which will ultimately help reduce the risk of a candidate quitting or being sacked due to not being able to fulfil their role and responsibilities.
We are proud that many of our placements are successful, and candidates end up having prosperous careers and long-standing contracts. This is why clients come back to us time and time again, when they are looking to hire for their business and teams.
Long term partnerships and ongoing support
A specialist recruitment agency will often provide ongoing support, even after the candidate has been placed. They can provide you with market trends, salary insight surveys, and know what type of candidates you’d be interested in seeing for future hires. A specialist recruitment agency who helps to create a good working relationship between yourselves shows their dedication and commitment to their processes.
At Navartis, we know how important building strong relationships are to help our clients get the best results when it comes to hiring. We work hard to get to know our clients, learn about their business and objectives and understand their culture.
