Benefits of Outsourcing for Recruitment Agencies
There’s no doubt about it: For a modern recruitment business to succeed in the 21st century, it needs efficient systems and processes, and the right team to execute them.
In this competitive market, it’s even more important to have the right employees in place to source the best candidates for your clients. Having the internal capabilities to deliver for your clients could be the difference between reaching your targets and falling short of them.
Fortunately, there are a few strategies available to help you save time and become more efficient. Outsourcing your resourcing efforts can be very effective in growing your recruitment company – giving you more time to focus on more strategic activities. Here are some of the reasons why this is the case.
Relieving You of Your Time-Consuming, Admin-Heavy Tasks
Resourcing is a crucial aspect of any recruitment business, however it can quickly turn into a time-consuming, tedious requirement that inhibits progress. Still, ensuring you’re consistently networking with brightest minds is essential should you wish to keep growing and being a market leader in your niche.
That’s a bit easier said than done — especially if you’re spending a bulk of your time on searching job boards, building LinkedIn projects, networking, writing and posting job ads, formatting CVs, longlisting candidates, arranging interviews, managing offers, business development activities and communicating with clients to name a few.
This is where outsourcing your resourcing and laborious tasks can help. Resourcers with industry leading training, can hit the ground running and know every trick in the book for networking with hard-to-find candidates.
Improve In-house Recruiter Productivity
The overall resourcing process can be labour-intensive, which means your in-house Recruitment Consultants may have trouble carrying out these tasks effectively when combined with their other objectives. This diverted attention can negatively impact their productivity and the company’s billings in the long run.
By outsourcing your resourcing efforts, Recruiters can spend more time on the phone, building relationships and closing placements. This will allow you to expand your bandwidth tenfold while Resourcers oversee those time-consuming tasks for you.
Long-term Cost Efficiency
It’s no secret that having in-house Resourcers can be expensive, not to mention the training and support required before they become productive. From yearly salary to National Insurance, pension contributions, desk costs and management oversight, recruitment companies often have to spend a significant amount of money building a team of Resourcers and resourcing capability.
Much of these costs can simply be alleviated by outsourcing your work to trained Resourcers. They work as an extension of your team without the major cost of employing more people in your office.
The flexibility offered by outsourcing partners also guarantees further cost savings; you’ll only ever pay for their services when you need them. If recruitment companies are in urgent need of support for a client’s project, well-trained Resourcers can fulfill any spike in job roles.
Money doesn’t have to go to waste when utilising this specific service – it can simply be catered to your needs to allow for better planning.
