According to this free white paper, mainstream recruitment companies are letting their customers down while specialist ‘niche’ recruitment providers are delivering a better service.
According to research, the majority of companies are dissatisfied with the service provided by mainstream recruitment companies.
In CIPD’s 2007 ‘Recruitment, Retention and Turnover’ survey, 84% of companies had experienced difficulties with recruitment companies. Worse, fewer than 50% of recruitment companies are putting forward suitable candidates for interview leading to dissatisfaction, wasted time and disappointment.
In our white paper, ‘Finding the right job; finding the right person’, we examine the reasons for this and show why mainstream, generalist recruitment companies do not provide the best recruitment solution within specialist markets such as training and e-learning.
Key findings:
- Organisations feel that mainstream recruitment companies put forward unsuitable candidates more than half of the time
- Almost half of recruitment agencies are more interested in ‘making a sale’ than finding the right candidate
- Nearly all companies believe that the quality of the candidate is the top requirement when selecting a recruitment company
- Niche recruitment companies, such as Central Legal and Central Public are shown to deliver better results and value mainly due to their market focus and ability to know their clients’ needs in depth.
