Should You Be Using Multiple Recruitment Agencies To Hire?

Employer advice

We are understanding to the pressures you may feel when it comes to finding new staff members, as you may need the role filled to avoid the impacts of being understaffed. Within our 18 years of recruitment, we have successfully placed a vast amount of candidates. We have seen many establishments enlist the help of multiple recruiter in order to fill vacancies

But is using multiple recruitment companies the best move to make?

It is understandable to think that the more recruiters working a position the more people can be scouted, but the truth is, that’s not always the route to take.

Competitiveness – Recruitment is an extremely competitive industry; a sense of urgency can arise when one recruiter is aware of another recruitment business helping to fill a role. This could result in an influx or candidates that may not be suitable for the role, due to the urgency the recruiter might feel to find the ideal candidate. The recruitment process should be in the best interest of the business as opposed to the speed of the recruiter.

Loyalty – Recruiters are likely to build strong relationships with their clients; this could benefit the client due to them possibly having first choice of special candidates. In order to retain that relationship, the recruiter would have spent a lot of time creating a bond that they are not willing to jeopardize with subpar applicants. If you have not remained loyal to one recruitment company, you may have a substantial disadvantage. 

Confusion – Using multiple recruitment agencies could lead to candidates being contacted by a variety of recruiters who are all representing the same job vacancy. This could potentially impact your company’s reputation, leading to candidate confusion. This confusion can impact and application process, your business could be seen as unprofessional and desperate to place any candidate.
