As an employer in the fast-paced electrical construction industry, you know what a hassle hiring can be. This is especially true if you are short-staffed to begin with, or if you have a big project looming on the horizon. Instead of dealing with endless stacks of resumes and countless phone calls and emails to fill a single position, why not consider leaving the process in the capable hands of a professional recruitment firm? Here are just a few of the many benefits of using a recruiting agency to help fill your company’s open positions.
- A keen eye for the market. A good recruiter will almost certainly possess knowledge of the market that you do not. This recruiter will be able to advise you on workforce trends and give you insight into the available workforce. A recruitment firm will likely already be acquainted with talented individuals who would be perfect for the role your company needs to fill. A recruiter will be able to make contact with the most qualified workers on your behalf. Your recruiter will also know what potential employees are looking for in terms of salary expectations, and s/he will be acquainted with candidates’ skill sets and employment requirements.
- Able to separate great candidates from not so great candidates. When you advertise your company’s open positions online or in your local newspaper, prepare to be bombarded by a slew of unqualified candidates. Sure, you might get a few apparently qualified candidates in the mix, but the vast majority of job seekers who answer your ad will be either under or over qualified or just not suited to the position. By contrast, a recruiting firm will perform an exhaustive matching process to ensure that only qualified candidates are sent to your door to interview.
- Highly affordable. From a budget perspective, using a recruiting agency is the smart thing to do. After all, paying an agency is way less expensive than setting up an in-house department dedicated exclusively to hiring. In the long run, using a recruitment firm is also far more affordable than straining your existing workforce by designating a few trusted employees to screen applicants and be available to answer inquires about the position.
Of course, when it comes to filling positions in the electrical construction industry, not just any old recruiting agency will do. You need an agency that knows the ins and outs of the industry, not some one-size-fits-all firm that dabbles in every industry. For this reason, you can’t go wrong with Electrical Search Group, a firm that specializes in the electrical fields and has access to numerous qualified candidates who possess the specific skills to match your company’s open positions.
