Most businesses choose to have one supplier for particular services e.g. they may have one stationary supplier, one facilities management company, one firm of accountants, one catering company etc.  They may regularly review and even change them but they will choose to work mainly with one supplier for one type of work.

Why will they do this?  Often they will get a good price from the supplier as they know there will be volume business, but also the supplier will get to know the business, the people involved, their needs, likes and dislikes.  They should be able to provide a more tailored, relevant and cost effective service to the business. So why when it comes to recruitment do so many businesses send their vacancies out to a huge range of different recruitment firms in what seems to be a scattergun approach?  We often hear from

in-house recruitment and HR staff how they are swamped with agency emails and phone calls to the point where they can’t get their jobs done.  This approach also often leads to a much slower process and in a market where there are skills shortages and high calibre candidates move on very quickly businesses can ill-afford to miss out on good candidates.  Could it be that their recruitment procedures are at the root of the problem?

At MAC Resourcing we believe that a partnership approach is the most effective way to work with our clients.  Apart from the cost savings often by our approach we believe the flexibility of our service can help our clients through the peaks and troughs in recruitment throughout the year, can provide specialist expertise, can use the client’s own brand to attract candidates who might otherwise not respond and allow their internal staff to get back to their own jobs. Our expertise also allows us to provide insight on the selection of candidates which his hugely important yet often overlooked. We can review the recruitment and selection process from start to finish and offer advice and support at each stage making the process smoother, more robust and quicker, benefiting the company and candidates alike.

Recruitment and selection are after all people based processes so why not build business relationships that work and last.
