Recruiting Staff - The Disadvantages

Recruiting new staff can be a costly and time-consuming process for any business.

Firstly, you'll need to formulate a great value proposition to attract high-quality candidates before crafting a job advertisement and description that stands out from the crowd. You'll then need to promote this regularly on relevant job sites and through social media channels - then spend hours if not days sifting through applicants in order to shortlist those with the most relevant qualifications and experience.

Once you have a group of likely candidates to meet in person, you'll need to manage the whole interview process, from setting up appointments to devising a list of questions to ask, providing feedback, agreeing on terms, and negotiating a salary that works for both your successful candidate and your finance team!

While the rewards of finding a great new team member are many, there are no guarantees. In order to minimise risk, many companies turn to a specialist recruitment agency to help manage what can be a complex and challenging process in which presenting your business or brand in a professional light is key to success.

How can an external agency help with marketing recruitment?

Working in collaboration with a specialist marketing recruitment agency can help your organisation access the skills and experience you need in a timely and cost-effective manner, freeing up you and your staff to focus on your own roles and conserving the resources needed to drive your business forward.
