Benefits of using an Agency - Chadwick Personnel

There are many benefits of using a recruitment agency to source candidates. As with anything that is outsourced, you are removed from the time consuming process and are able to make a decision from the results that are presented.

There's no reason to have concerns, we do it almost every day of our lives. For example, when you go to a restaurant you are presented with a menu of tasty morsels and all you have to do is select what you would like, without having to see a pot or pan, or do the washing up!

We go to restaurants and pay for the service because it's easier and more convenient to do so. Let's face it, the results are generally better too, because the Chef is an experienced professional. Recruitment shouldn't be any different.

Let us review the benefits of working with Chadwick Personnel to assist in your recruitment process;

Concern	Using Chadwick Personnel	In-house recruiting
What are the associated costs?	A one-off fixed pre-determined fee structure thus allowing employers to know the real cost of recruitment and being able to budget accordingly.	Unknown and ongoing Online & Print Advertising Staff time reviewing applications, assessing suitability, arranging interviews, declining candidates and conducting interviews
Where do the applications/ candidates come from?	Advertising is fully included in our fee. We have: extensive advertising writing techniques reduced rate contracts with print and online advertisers industry presence refer a friend program general registrations access to on-market candidates who aren't actively applying for jobs.	Costly print and online advertising and possible referrals from company website or staff. Budget restrictions may compromise effective advertising and duration. Full rate advertising costs; regardless of good negotiating techniques. One-off advertising will never obtain as significant a discount as recruitment agencies
What if business demands take priority over hiring?	We can continue to source candidates while you are busy, off sick or on business/annual leave and prepare a selection of active candidates for when you are ready to interview.	Recruitment and candidates come to a complete standstill. Previous applicants are no longer available and the full process including advertising will have to commence again.
What happens if the person we hire turns out to be unsuitable or leaves?	You are covered by a free replacement warranty and we will replace the staff member free of charge within the first three months for any reason other than retrenchment. Just give us a call and we'll get moving on it.	Everything reverts back to the beginning of the original process including advertising costs which will need to be paid again and staff used in the original process having to perform the same processes again without any form of guaranteed success.
How much time will I have to spend on finding a suitable employee?	As we are confident in our ability in finding the right person quickly, we find that a large percentage of our clientele hire the first person they interview from us because we get it right the first time.	Unlimited. Days? Weeks? Months? Due to the fact so many internal staff can be involved the in-house recruitment process it is difficult to estimate the extensive time taken away from your normal business duties. In some cases companies come to us in desperation for candidates because it is crucial to the business for someone to be in the role.
Costs: Agency VS an In-house Recruiter	When using Chadwicks as your recruiter, there are no hidden costs associated with the time taken by current employees being withdrawn from other, perhaps critical tasks.	A purpose defined in house Recruiter capable of supporting your recruitment process would cost in the region of $65,000 per annum plus on costs, conservatively raising the annual cost to in excess of $80,000 plus advertising costs. At the average placement fee at Chadwicks over the past eighteen months, this would cover the cost of recruiting up to 20 new staff per annum, depending on the level of staff required with a free replacement warranty on every one.
What happens if we decide we don't need a new staff member after all?	Unlike many of our competitors, Chadwicks makes no charge of any description unless a successful recruitment occurs. Some competitors have a "retainer" system by which they bill the client a non-returnable fee before they commence operations. Chadwicks do not. Just let us know when you do need someone and we'll get moving on it!	Wasted efforts of staff members and unrecoverable advertising costs.
