Why using a recruitment company can save you time and money

When a valued staff member leaves your organisation or you create a new position then the costs of finding or replacing that person start to add up immediately. Firstly you have the cost of advertising. Print media and website advertising is not cheap nowadays and continues to escalate in price.

Secondly, your investment in time can be very costly. Each hour you spend on writing advertisements, receiving CV’s and telephone calls for your initial screening process is very expensive if you value the time of the person carrying out the recruitment assignment.

Thirdly, you have another costly investment in time when undertaking face to face interviews with your prospective candidates and then finally the time invested in reference checking.

The biggest cost of all however, is the cost involved when you undertake a recruitment assignment without enough knowledge, skills and experience to ensure you employ the right person. The cost to your company if you hire the wrong person can be huge in terms of lost time, revenues and internal damage done to your organisational culture. Then the potential time and cost involved in removing that person could be substantial.
