You’re a business owner that’s eager to expand your team so you can keep up with growing demand.
You’ve posted the job advert, sifted through the CVs and conducted countless interviews. But the right candidate still feels out of reach.
In our experience, this scenario is all too familiar for many businesses.
Thankfully, when you partner with Axi Recruitment, you’ll instantly experience a wide range of benefits that can improve your hiring process and workforce. From gaining access to a wider talent pool to saving time on screening, our experts have the knowledge (and tools) to make finding the right person simple and efficient.
Whether you’re looking to scale your business or minimise turnover, here’s a few reasons why working with us can help you grow and achieve success.
1. Access to a wider talent pool
One of the key benefits of working with Axi Recruitment is the access we provide to a broader and more diverse talent pool. According to a survey by LinkedIn, 83% of employers say finding talent is getting harder – especially for roles that require specialised skills.
Working with a recruitment agency (like us), allows you to tap in to established networks and databases of qualified candidates who may not be accessible through traditional hiring methods.
Instead of waiting for candidates to find your job listing, we proactively hunt for people so you get first pick of the skilled professionals.
2. Specialist industry knowledge
Recruitment agencies don’t tend to be generalists. They are experts in the industries they serve. For us, this spans key areas like finance, technical recruitment and engineering as well as others.
By understanding the nuance of specialist sectors, including the types of skills and experiences that make candidates successful, we can match you with candidates who fit your company culture and job requirements perfectly.
We also stay on top of industry trends and can offer insights you may not have considered, helping you make the best hiring decisions.
3. Save time on screening and interviewing
Hiring is time-consuming. Research from Glassdoor shows that the average time spent on appointing a new hire is around 23 days – including reviewing CVs, conducting interviews and making decisions.
By partnering with a recruitment agency, you can cut that time drastically as we handle the initial screening process and save you from sorting through hundreds of applications.
We can also conduct the first round of interviews, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates make it to your desk. This allows you to focus on making the final decision without getting bogged down in the details of the hiring process.
4. Minimise staff turnover with thorough vetting
Hiring the wrong candidate can be costly. In terms of time and money. By using a rigorous vetting process, we ensure candidates are not just qualified on paper. We also make sure they’re a good fit for your company’s culture. If required, we can conduct reference checks, and personality assessments to ensure you hire the right person. Because we believe a thorough vetting process reduces staff turnover and ensures candidates are well-suited to the role and your environment.
5. Act as an extension of your team (and hire great people)
You know when you’re working with a strong recruitment agency when they act and feel like part of your team. At every stage, we collaborate closely to understand your company culture and hiring goals, and work hard to build genuine relationships with both our clients and candidates. Ultimately, we want to strengthen your team by finding a great person and, by delivering honest and constructive feedback, we think everyone can understand the value of the process.
