Hiring the right people for an open position is one of the toughest parts of running a successful company or organization. One of the top concerns when hiring new team members is getting the best possible hiring outcome for the financial investment. Hiring a new employee can cost tens of thousands in both training and the productivity lost during the turnover process. Add to that the expense of hiring a dedicated human resources team to handle the interview process, advertising the position, overseeing background checks, and more.

If you’re looking at a way to cut down your costs, it might be time to consider partnering with an engineering recruiting agency. Our technical recruiting experts at One Tech Engineering in Minnesota put together this guide to cover some of the most common questions about recruiting agencies.

Small companies in particular have to work extra hard to make the most of their resources. For those that don’t have a human resources team, hiring new employees typically means someone has to set aside their existing job to take on the hiring duties. This costs you money in the long run.

A dedicated recruiting agency, on the other hand, understands each company has its own unique set of needs no matter how large or small. Because all they do is handle recruiting, a firm can connect you with the best candidates for the job so you can focus on more important things like your bottom line.

Here are a few of the key benefits of using a recruiting firm:

●        Better quality employees

●        Less time spent on interviews

●        Start out with a trial run

●        Write off agency fees

One of the hardest parts of hiring is sorting through the influx of applicants for each opening. You need more than just applicants. You need quality candidates. Reading through all of those resumes can take up time you don’t have to spare.

If only half of those candidates are not fully qualified for the position, that means you’ve spent hours of your organization’s time on candidates that aren’t qualified. A recruiting firm will handle sorting through the stacks of resumes and only send you the most qualified applicants.

If you’ve got a position open due to a need now but know that need may change seasonally, it doesn’t make sense to hire someone permanently. At the same time, when you need a new employee, you need them on demand.

A technical recruiting agency can get someone on your team quickly through contract hire. They’ll handle the screening and filter out anyone who doesn’t fit with your specific requirements. All you’ll have to worry about is meeting with the new hire to see if they’re a good fit for your team.
