Why Using a Recruitment Agency is Cheaper Than Hiring Staff on Your Own

Recruitment Agencies Offer Financial Benefits versus Using In-House Resources

Individuals with virtually any amount of experience in human resources will likely readily agree that the process of recruiting and hiring new staff can be somewhat costly to the company.  These costs will be both direct (advertising) and indirect (resource and time allocation) and may have short-term (training requirements) and long-term implications (turnover/bad hires).

In many instances, the recruiting/hiring responsibilities are assigned to a sole employee, or perhaps to a small in-house team, on an as-needed basis within the other duties of a comprehensive human resources role.  Such a scenario can often lead to hastily devised recruitment plans and perhaps hiring decisions made under time pressures, which can ultimately result in poor returns on investment for the organization.  If this has a familiar tone for employers and hiring managers, then it is actually an ideal case for considering to utilize the expertise of an agency providing staffing services of their recruiters.

Collaborating with recruitment agencies such as Winters Technical Staffing can be an effective way for companies to maximize their investments in the recruiting and hiring processes.  Recruitment agencies offer several cost-reducing or cost-saving measures over in-house efforts, including:

• Minimizing advertising costs
  • Recruiters already maintain pools of pre-identified potential candidates
  • Ready-access to a target audience narrows the span/scope of advertising
• Reduction of recruitment time
  • Targeted search efforts can identify top candidates in a shorter time span
  • Openings can be filled faster and help maintain desired productivity levels
• Reduction of interviewing time
  • In-house staff only dedicates time to assessing the most viable candidates
  • Saves time lost to interviewing several potentially less-qualified applicants
• Coordination of pre-employment screening
  • Includes background checks, reference checks, and specific skills testing
  • Ultimately plays a role in making better, more confident hiring decisions
• Provision of fundamental training
  • Recruiters can ensure that candidates have all of the necessary job skills
  • Can alleviate a significant portion of the start-up training costs for new hires
• Strengthening of retention rates
  • Hiring well-vetted staff will likely improve retention/reduce turnover rates
  • Minimizes high/unwanted costs of termination and repeated recruitment
  • Also has a positive impact on maintaining productivity/contribution levels
• Reduction of overtime hours/costs
  • Agencies can act quickly to meet seasonal or unexpected staffing demands
  • Allows revenue streams to continue; lessens fatigue/strain on existing staff

For all of the above reasons, it may be financially prudent for organizations to consider the services of recruitment agencies like Winters Technical Staffing to address any recruiting/hiring needs rather than investing in-house time and resources in this process.
