So, what’s a company to do? Waste time – and often money – pursuing candidates who may or may not be a good fit? Absolutely not.   

They should partner with job placement companies. This blog post will explore how these companies can help you overcome common recruitment hurdles and find your “perfect match.” Want to learn more? Keep reading.  

Common Recruitment Challenges  

Nowadays, companies that do not use the assistance of job placement companies face numerous challenges when it comes to hiring the perfect candidate. While some struggles are unique to specific industries, there are three common struggles plaguing the job market as a whole:  

1) Talent Shortages and Skills Gaps  

Remember the talent shortage statistics we cited earlier? That’s just for small businesses in the states. According to a recent report, 69% of employers worldwide struggle to fill job vacancies, citing a lack of available talent and widening skill gaps. These issues are due to various factors like:  

  • Changes in the labor market  
  • Technological advancements  
  • An aging workforce, etc.  
A skills gap is when a candidate’s skills don’t meet employer expectations for the role. Learn more about it here.

2) Increasing Competition Among Companies for Top Talent  

In addition to the skills gap, companies must compete to attract top talent. According to 62% of employers, the current job market is entirely candidate-driven, meaning that candidates have the upper hand in negotiations. A candidate-driven market pressures businesses to offer competitive salaries, benefits, and other perks to encourage candidates to choose their company over others. It can be difficult for smaller companies to compete with larger ones.  

3) Time-Consuming and Costly Recruitment Processes  

Finding, interviewing, and hiring suitable candidates takes time and resources. You’ve got to make the job posting, advertise the job posting, source candidates, conduct interviews, and eventually deal with onboarding costs – which, on average, will cost you $4,100 per new hire. And if you make the wrong choice, it can be even more costly in the long run. Not many companies have that much time or financial overhead.  

But if you choose to work with a job placement company, these obstacles will be a thing of the past.  

The Benefits of Working with Job Placement Companies  

Here are just a few benefits you can expect from working with the right job placement company.  

First, you’ll have access to a vast pool of pre-qualified candidates. Job placement companies have an extensive network of job seekers, including those who are not actively looking for new opportunities but could be open to work. Each is pre-screened and evaluated based on their skills, experience, and qualifications, making it easy for job placement to connect you with the most qualified people for your positions.  

Second, you can take advantage of the company’s recruiting expertise. Recruitment is a specialized skill that requires years of experience to do correctly and effectively. Job placement companies have teams of recruiters who can:  

  • Understand the nuances of various industries  
  • Craft compelling job postings  
  • Screen candidates effectively  
  • Perform in-depth background checks  
  • Conduct interviews that reveal a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses and much more.  

Not only does this give you suitable candidates, but it also means you’ll spend less time stressing about the recruitment process – because it’s in the hands of an expert. This brings us to our next benefit.    

With job placement companies, you can enjoy cost-effective and time-efficient recruitment processes. A job placement company saves you time and money by handling the entire recruitment process for you. Say goodbye to expensive recruitment tools and activities and hello to shorter hiring times and higher-quality employees.
