Why You Should Use a Recruitment Agency for Care Recruitment
If you’re looking to recruit care staff, whether it’s for a care home, supported living, or domiciliary care, using a recruitment agency can offer numerous benefits.
Expertise and Experience: Recruitment agencies specialise in sourcing and placing candidates in a variety of industries, including care. They have the expertise and experience to understand the specific requirements of care recruitment and can help you find the right candidates for your needs. We specialise in managing processes, understanding candidate’s motivations and handling their expectations, how to handle counter-offers and essentially how to ensure that your role is their first choice.
Time Savings: Recruitment agencies handle the entire recruitment process, from sourcing and screening candidates to arranging interviews and handling job offers. This saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of running your care business.
Access to a Wider Pool of Candidates: Recruitment agencies have a wider pool of candidates to choose from, which means that you’ll have access to a greater number of qualified and suitable candidates. They can also help you find candidates who have the specific skills, experience, and qualifications that you’re looking for.
Cost Savings: Using a recruitment agency can actually be more cost-effective than doing the recruitment process yourself. Recruitment agencies have economies of scale, so can advertise across multiple platforms to ensure you reach the best people. The greatest cost in recruitment, is getting it wrong. When you realise 3-6 months down the line that the individual you hired isn’t working out, you’ve got to factor in the costs of their salary, benefits, training, and impact on your business, which are far greater than the cost of a one-off recruitment fee.
Reduced Risk: Hiring through a recruitment agency can reduce the risk of making a wrong hire, as they take care of the entire recruitment process and help you find the best candidate for your needs.
In conclusion, using a recruitment agency for care recruitment can offer numerous benefits, including expertise and experience, time savings, access to a wider pool of candidates, thorough screening and background checks, cost savings, and reduced risk. By working with a recruitment agency like Thendon Resourcing, you can find the right candidates for your care business, saving you time, effort, and money.
