Recruitment agency responsibilities

The responsibilities of a recruitment agency can vary based on your organization's specific staffing needs and the nature of your contract. In some cases, the agency manages the entire recruitment and hiring process, while in others, the hiring company remains more involved. Here are some common duties that recruitment agencies typically handle:

• Posting Job Opportunities: Recruitment agencies often post job openings on a variety of platforms, including their own job boards, newsletters, social networks, networking groups, traditional job boards, and industry-specific job boards. If you prefer specific platforms, you can request that the agency use those channels in their sourcing process.

• Building Relationships with Talent: Experienced recruitment professionals have strong networks of qualified candidates. They maintain ongoing relationships with skilled professionals, which can expedite the search process when a new position opens, as they may already have suitable candidates in mind.

• Interviewing and Evaluating Candidates: Agencies conduct initial interviews to screen out unsuitable candidates and identify top talent for further consideration by your team. Some agencies also use assessments or other evaluation methods to better determine candidate qualifications.    

• Facilitating Final Interviews: After shortlisting candidates, the agency schedules final interviews with your internal teams. This coordination helps streamline the process and ensures smooth communication between candidates and hiring managers.

• Extending Offers and Handling Negotiations: Once a candidate is selected, the agency communicates the job offer and manages any negotiation discussions. This not only saves time for your team but also provides a consistent point of contact for candidates throughout the process.

• Overseeing Onboarding and Administrative Tasks: Some agencies offer full-service staffing solutions, handling onboarding and administrative paperwork, including payroll and benefits, for the duration of the candidate’s employment with your company. Others focus solely on recruitment and exit the process once the hire is made.
