Choosing The Right Scarborough Recruitment Agency

By Eugenia Dickerson


If you have a job vacancy it can be difficult to find suitable candidates. Knowing who is suitable is not always easy. While a CV or an interview can help to an extent this does not necessarily accurately reflect the candidate. Therefore you may want to use the services of a Scarborough recruitment agency to find the best candidate to suit you.

The problem is that someone with a good CV may just know how to present themselves well. Likewise someone who speaks well in an interview may not necessarily be the most qualified person for a job. Equally someone who comes across as shy or does not communicate well should not be dismissed either for lacking a bit of confidence.

This is one way a recruiter can help a candidate. They can work on the CV and make it easier for a candidate to present themselves. They can also offer guidance on how a person presents themselves during an interview. Basic things such as wearing the right clothes to an interview are the kind of things a good recruiter will help their candidates with.

With the best agencies this will be the case. However before you approach an agency you need to think who it is you want. If your job is very specialist then it is probably best to contact someone who deals only in your particular industry and therefore will find candidates best suited to that industry and the role you want them to do.

Another aspect is their communication skills. If you find it difficult to arrange meetings with them or they do not listen to your feedback then this means they are not taking your needs seriously. If you feel this is the case then it is vital to find a recruiter who understands what you want and adapts to it.

You also need to think if they are appropriate in terms of approach. Sometimes it is best to choose a specialist especially if you need someone with specific skills. For example if you run a restaurant you would not necessarily need a specialist agency for bar staff but you would more likely to want to see a specialist if you wanted a head chef who had a few years of experience in Thai cookery or a waiter with silver service training in order to work in a fine dining restaurant.

The recruiter should also have a clear mission statement. They ought to have values of honesty and transparency that should be upheld by their candidates. Equally they ought to be able to demonstrate this in terms of how they handle their business as oppose to this being a statement on their website.

One effective way to find the right Scarborough recruitment agency is to talk to other businesses who have used them as well as people who have registered with the agency. This feedback will make it easier to find someone suited to your needs. Look online to see what is available in your local area as well as feedback on websites and through social media.
