Setting up a Recruitment Agency
Oct 21 2005
A recruitment agency provides clients with a short list of pre-interviewed, referenced candidates for vacant positions within the client's business. Many agencies will also run psychometric tests to assess a candidate's abilities, as well as testing relevant experience such as presentation skills or typing speeds. The agency may specialise in recruiting for a specific sector, such as IT, media or construction, or it may offer a wide selection of jobs. Agencies may also specialise in temporary or contract placements, or may find candidates full-time positions.
