Outsourcing Recruitment

Signs That It’s Time To Make A Change

1. Struggling to Find Quality Candidates
   One of the most obvious signs that it’s time to outsource your temporary recruitment is difficulty in finding quality candidates. If your usual recruitment channels are no longer yielding suitable candidates, it may be time to cast the net wider.  Recruitment agencies have access to a wide pool of workers, and the recruitment expertise to vet candidate to provide you with those that are the best fit for your organisation. 
2. High Turnover Rates
   High turnover rates among temporary staff can be a drain on your organisation’s resources and morale. If you find yourself constantly replacing temporary workers due to dissatisfaction or poor performance, it may be time to reassess your recruitment strategy. Outsourcing to a reputable agency, such as The Best Connection, can help you find candidates who are better suited to your company culture and job requirements – which in turn will lead to higher retention rates and increased productivity for your business. 
3. Fluctuating Workforce Demand
   There are many factors that affect staffing needs – seasonal demand, peak trading, contract work – not to mention handling sickness and holiday cover. Constantly handling these changes can be a challenge and will affect productivity if not managed correctly.  Working with a trusted recruitment partner will give you greater flexibility and scalability, ensuring that you have the right number of workers with the right skills exactly when you need them.  At The Best Connection, we develop long-term relationships with our clients to help them plan their workforce requirements and prepare for changes in demand. 
4. Limited HR Resources
   Small and medium-sized businesses may have limited HR resources available to handle their recruitment, which can put pressure on management and team leaders.   Recruitment agencies can provide much needed support, allowing you and you and your teams to focus on core business functions. 
5. Compliance
   Navigating the legal and regulatory landscape of temporary staffing can be a daunting task for any organisation. Non-compliance with employment laws and regulations can result in costly fines, penalties, and reputational damage. If you’re concerned about compliance issues or unsure about the legal implications of your temporary worker arrangements, outsourcing to a reputable agency can help mitigate risks and ensure that you remain compliant.  The Best Connection is ISO 90001 compliant and a member of the Association of Labour Providers, offering added reassurance to clients. 
6. Need for Specialist Support 
   Certain industries, such as Care or Aviation, require highly specialised skills and expertise that may be challenging to find through traditional recruitment channels. An agency with expertise in these areas can help navigate the recruitment process for you, with a clear understanding of the skilled required and the candidate vetting process – ensuring your temporary workers can really hit the ground running.  The Best Connection even provide candidate training, inductions and specialist PPE where needed.
