RECRUITMENT AGENCIES - DO COMPANIES REALLY NEED THEM?
There were days when companies handled their own recruitment. Processes were
simple, stereotyped and followed the oft-trodden path. That was way back in the
sixties and seventies. Much has changed now, and for good reason. Professionalism
has taken a front seat and companies are driven by only one goal—how to cut costs
and increase profits. A natural corollary of this is the evolution of a game-plan to cut
the flab. Excess staff, redundant posts and dispensable activities are all an eyesore
for calculating companies.
The need for hiring recruitment agencies is being increasing felt by big and small
businesses. Professional recruiters use many tools and techniques to access the
most suitable candidates which are ordinarily not within the reach of companies.
Companies have bigger priorities than to indulge in head-hunting, which needs
precious time, manpower and expertise. On the other hand, recruitment agencies
have no higher priorities than responding quickly to a client who has urgently
requested for a permanent or temporary staff to feel a slot.
The most compelling reason for companies to hire recruitment agencies is that
the former do not have the testing tools to assess a candidate's skills,
competencies and motivations. Nor do they have a ready pool from which a
judicious selection can be made. An effective hiring decision is essential for
furthering the business goals of a company. The cost of hiring a professional
recruiter is minuscule as compared to the cost of time lost – tangible and
indirect affect on other business initiatives. Someone has rightly said that,
“Anyone can go fishing, but not everyone knows where the right spot is to
cast your line to catch the fish you desire”. Reputed placement agencies like
