The Agency's Role
A recruitment agency acts as an intermediary between employers and candidates. It sources, screens and shortlists candidates so employers only interview the most suitable people.
The Process
The process starts with understanding the role, then sourcing through databases, networks and referrals. Candidates are screened, interviewed and presented as a shortlist.
For temporary and contract roles, the agency often manages payroll and compliance as the employer of record.
How Agencies Add Value
Agencies save time, provide access to a wider talent pool, improve candidate quality through screening, and handle compliance. This is especially valuable for high-volume blue collar hiring.
