There are a significant number of benefits to using a recruitment agency to for your temporary & permanent recruitment, which are beneficial also to the worker that fulfils the assignment in your business. Here are just a few of the most important that we think you should consider.

Scaling Up & Down

Today’s modern businesses do not carry unnecessary overheads to run their day-to-day operations and this includes the workforce. This means that flexibility to increase productivity when needed can be limited so reacting to increases, or decreases, in workload can be challenging, particularly if competitors can offer a faster service. Using temporary staff is the perfect solution to scaling your workforce up and down based on your business demands in a time and cost-efficient manner. Temporary worker requirements can be anything from 1 person for a day to 200 people for 6 months, or more.

Cost Efficiency

Recruiting costs money. This is not just the cost of advertising but also the cost of the peoples salaries of those conducting the recruitment & background check processes, and then you may still not find a suitable candidate! For temporary staff you are only paying for the hours they work and a fee only if the person starts and stays with you. At Capital Outsourcing we have extensive resources all geared towards the sole activity of recruiting to our talent pools.

Covering Your Leave

Many companies do not carry surplus manning so covering leave can often lead to teams being over burdened or operations being interrupted. Booking experienced temporary cover alleviates these pressures particularly for longer periods of leave of busy holiday times.

Talent Pools Available Now

Industry specialist recruiters will already have pre-screened & vetted candidates within their talent pools who can either start work straight away or who are available with a matter of just a few days. This avoids the need to follow the often lengthy process from placing the advert to job offer to the interview & hiring process that companies would need to follow otherwise.

Supplementing Your Internal HR Function

Outsourcing all or part of your recruitment hiring (temporary or permanent) allows your internal teams to focus on other areas and minimises peak time pressures. HR Departments can then focus on other key priority areas such as employee development & training.

Filling A Gap

Sometimes you need to fill a gap whilst the recruitment process for the permanent hire takes place. This effectively reduces the pressure on the rest of the team, alleviates the workload for when the new starter begins therefore fostering a positive work environment and allowing the new starters learning curve to be smooth.

Candidate “In Action”

Whilst a thorough interview will tell you a lot about a candidate’s potential seeing them in action performing the role really does allow a company to further assess not just capabilities but also team fit, and the benefits are mutual. Where a candidate is not already working we would always recommend this course of action to both clients and candidates alike.
