When looking to source and hire a Human Resources (HR) candidate, it is important to find a Human Resources (HR) recruitment agency that specialises in this type of recruitment. This will mean that you will be speaking to a recruitment consultant who is used to recruiting these positions regularly, and will be able to provide you with accurate salary benchmarking and market intelligence. A good HR recruitment agency can mean the difference between a stressful and unsuccessful job search and an efficient, seamless search. We are meant to make your life easier!
Working with an agency that specialises in recruiting Human Resources professionals across the entire function – Learning and Development, Recruitment, Early Careers, Payroll, Benefits and Reward etc., has a number of advantages. For example – they will have a better understanding of the exact remit of these roles and how they fit into HR teams and, consequentially, the wider business. They understand not only the skillset required but also the personality and approach to really succeed and match to their client group.
Specialist agencies are also more likely to have a wide database of suitable, high-calibre candidates already at their fingertips and typically secure higher quality candidates / CVs than those you may receive through direct job applications or generic agencies.
This is due to the act that these agencies are embedded in the market and regularly build out their network and place candidates throughout their careers. They take the time to get to know each individual candidate and client, their experience and where they would suit, and understand their motivations for seeking a new role.
A specialist Human Resources recruitment agency will also be able to give you accurate salary information and benchmarking and will typically produce an annual salary survey.
