Recruit for You

Why Use a Recruitment Company for Something You Could Do Yourself?

Posted on November 30, 2019 at 12:00 PM

Like our parent company, Choice Business Solutions(CBS), we at SABU, see a lot of doubt and hesitation from clients when it comes to recruitment. Many clients think that this is a job that they can keep in-house. After all, this is what they do. Who would be better to find employees for their company than them?

If you are one of these clients, convinced that the above is true; read on. Hiring a recruitment company can save you time and money. Here are 3 reasons why:

1. You won’t be buried under a pile of resumes.

Part of looking for a new employee means sifting through many resumes of potential employees. You’re looking for that diamond in the rough. Hiring a recruitment company saves you time because we do this legwork for you. For example, CBS will go through the resumes of suitable applicants and narrow the list down to three resumes for you to peruse. SABU won’t make you go through a resume at all; all the pertinent information is filtered into the “sub” profile. That profile is even more dynamic than a resume, as it tells you things that a resume wouldn’t; like past employer(club) ratings.

2.You won’t have to run down references

Verifying the new individual and validating their references can be a huge and tiring part of the hiring process. Who wants to do background checks? Probably no one. Recruitment companies can save you the time of multiple missed calls, lengthy background checks, and forced conversations with referees. We even ensure that these references are accurate before you’re shown a resume or sub profile.

3. You won’t have to sacrifice the culture of your organisation.

We understand. You care about how new employees will match your company culture. Recruitment companies like CBS and SABU care deeply about client culture and matching companies with the right individuals. For engagements as short as one day to as long as a year, we ensure that there is alignment with workplace culture. When you test for culture, you can evaluate if future employees will match the management style of the current manager. You can also assess if they will thrive in your working environment. This translates to less employee turnover because of bad fits.

Working with a recruitment company allows managers to focus more on the key activities related to their job.
