What is a Recruitment Agency ? : How They can Help Businesses and Candidates

 A recruitment agency is a firm that acts as a mediator between the hiring company and the job seekers. The task of the recruitment agency is to find the ideal candidate for a company based on the required qualifications. HR Nepal Manpower is a recruitment agency in Nepal offering jobs for multiple industries that are in need of Nepali security guards, hotel staff, drivers, labor, general workers, and many more.

Why Employers Use Recruitment Agencies?

Recruiting an employee is a time-consuming task and a lot of companies struggle to have enough time to interview every candidate to finalize the ideal person for the job. It might seem unreal for you but this is the truth.

Recruitment agencies have specific requirements. Employing companies need to choose the ideal candidate for the jobs but they often don’t have enough time to interview and select the candidates. Hence, they hire a recruitment agency so that they can indulge themselves in other important tasks.

How Do They Work?

Recruitment agencies get lists of the vacancies from the companies and then place an ad on online job portals and to various other places. They are also always looking for new resumes or CVs that are being uploaded to the online job portals.

If you ever have spent some time in any online job portal looking for currently available vacancies, you must have noticed that only a few of the ads mention the name of the hiring company. The reason behind this is that the recruitment agencies are worried about not getting paid, since if you see a job requirement and like the profile you may apply directly to the company then the recruitment agency will not receive its fees.

A few agencies will take your CV and send an edited version of the CV to the recruiting company (hence, they always ask for a CV in Microsoft Word format). The recruitment firm does it to simply put up their branded template while some may remove personal details of the job seeker so that the company cannot approach the job seekers directly to avoid the recruitment agencies fees.

Any reputable company will never change your CVs content without your permission.

Role of A Recruitment Agency

Most firms prefer recruitment agencies because of the cost-effectiveness, as well as since it offers control and access to most of the candidates. Employer HR and recruiting coordinators prefer a recruitment agency to find the greatest value and best applicant on the market, giving them an advantage over their rivals in terms of an ideal candidate and cost-effectiveness. Most agencies will provide a guarantee on a candidate's placement, reducing the risk in the recruiting process and frequently providing a replacement free of charge during the first few months of a candidate's placement.

Recruitment Process

Recruiting firms will profit from having access to a huge number of qualified individuals as well as the expertise of a recruiting agency that sees hundreds of prospects through networking, recommendations, and online advertisements purchased at bulk pricing from job portals. A recruiter's job becomes a lot simpler when they select applicants who stand out from the throng and carve out those that are especially suited to a company's culture, personality, and job nuances.

The agency manages the process from identifying a hiring need to engaging a candidate, including contacting and briefing candidates in-depth on a role to ensure that every element is suitable for both the candidate and the client, scheduling and rescheduling interviews, providing negative feedback when necessary, which can have a negative impact on a company's brand if not done in a sensitive manner, and charades.

Due to the time and cost savings, the company may choose from a small number of qualified candidates, allowing them to concentrate on their core business.

Benefits of Using Recruitment Agency

For job seekers, finding a job through a recruitment agency offers a handful of advantages. Firstly, the recruitment agency might have a good relationship with the top companies that increases your chances of exclusive access to the job offered by them. You might also be given a position that you may have never known otherwise. Some more benefits may include:

• Suggestions on CV and cover letter

• Expert interview guidance

• Constructive feedback after every interview from employer

• Expert suggestion on opted field

• Option of being put forward for any relevant role that comes up

Should I opt For Recruitment Agency Services?

Choosing a recruitment agency offers you a number of benefits that are mentioned above. But, always remember, the recruitment agencies work for the employers, not for you. You should ask all the questions related to the opportunity offered, as they might just need to offer a number of candidates for a particular role and hence can mismatch you against any job criteria. Trust your instincts and honestly tell the agency if you feel the role is not suitable for your profile.
