Finding skilled workers is an onerous experience which is both time consuming and resource intensive. The construction industry increasingly relies upon recruitment agencies to manage recruitment needs, helping to free up resources and source staff on an ‘as-needed’ basis.

 As a leading Sydney recruitment agency, Advanced Group source qualified staff at a moment’s notice and handle all the formalities on your behalf. In this blog post we’ll be highlighting the benefits of using an agency to recruit white collar staff Versus hiring yourself.

 

Market Knowledge

As recruiters, we keep our fingers on the pulse. Our team are constantly researching and evaluating the market conditions, as well as sourcing top quality talent from around the country. We maintain awareness of the latest projects and the skillsets needed, and we have a large database of qualified talent ready to hit the ground running.

What does this mean? It means when you require someone with specialist skills, chances are we have a perfect fit for the role. We know where they are, what their expectations are and how they’ve performed in previous roles. We aim to form long term partnerships with both candidates and clients, and we are committed to your success.

 

Large Database and Strong Networks

Hiring the traditional way can take months, not to mention the time spent vetting resumes and conducting interviews. Even still you may not find your ideal candidate. By engaging a recruitment agency, you gain access to a large database of pre-vetted candidates who are perfect for the role. If you chose to hire the traditional way, many of these candidates wouldn’t apply – whether due to missing the advertisement, not feeling as though they are suitable or due to obtaining a steady pipeline of work from their recruiter. By leveraging our networks, we supply people with exactly the right skills and experience you’re looking for – people who would otherwise be off the radar.

 

No More Sorting – Only Suitable Candidates Considered

When posting a job advertisement, you will receive a flood of applicants – but only very few of these will be suitable for the role. By engaging a recruitment agency, you can skip the need to sort through applications and rule out the time wasters because we only source people who are an ideal match for your selection criteria. This cuts down on wasted time and makes the consideration/interview phase a whole lot quicker.

 

Flexible Solutions

Whether you’re looking to hire for the short term or the long term, recruitment agencies give you flexibility. No more onboarding and payroll to deal with, simply let us know the skills you need and for how long, and we’ll deliver the right person for the role. We are available at any time, and countless construction companies rely on us to help meet skills shortages on demand.

 

Save Money and Resources

Hiring yourself requires a significant monetary and time investment on behalf of your business. Engaging a recruitment agency will save your business money, and you’ll be better able to utilise your resources around the tasks that really matter. The construction industry is highly competitive, by engaging Advanced Group you will spend less time on hiring and more time focussing on your projects and securing new contracts.
