Recruitment and employment agencies: a comparison
Before selecting a service, it’s important to decide if you want to manage the hiring process yourself or prefer to have another company handle it. This choice will determine whether a recruitment agency or an employment agency is the best fit for you.
- Recruitment Agency: A recruitment agency collaborates with your company to find and place qualified candidates for your job openings. They handle job descriptions, screen applications, conduct interviews, and present you with the best candidates. You retain control over the final hiring decision and the employment terms.
- Employment Agency: An employment agency, on the other hand, hires and staffs employees on behalf of your company. They manage the employment contracts and are responsible for the employee’s terms and conditions, making them the legal employer.
Choosing the Right Partner:
If you want to outsource the hiring process entirely and have another company manage the employee’s employment terms, an employment agency might be the right choice. However, if you prefer to stay involved in the hiring process and retain control over the employment terms, a recruitment agency would be more suitable.
When hiring internationally, these agencies can be particularly valuable due to their established networks and understanding of local labor laws.
