How to work with recruiting agencies?

Recruiting - the young in Russia, but it went down in the concept of everyday life. Let's consider it from two sides: from the employer and the employee. To start on recruiting and distinguish it from the banal and familiar to us employment agencies. Target recruitment agency - pick the candidates and give you the opportunity to self-selection of the entire set of one employee. Target recruitment agency - you pick the most suitable candidate for 2.3. How did recruitment agencies? Many of them - obvious hacks that came out of the scope of human resource business and left the same principle works, but from a different angle. Other recruiting companies emerged from scratch, but on the basis of serious systemic approach. APPLICANT - a man who is looking for work. He is coming to the recruiting agency, is obliged to pay them himself, in recruiting is not the case - you do not pay anyone anything. You get into a database, and you begin to "sell". Hopefully, now, in our modern world, no one will be hurt this word: sell. I draw attention to competitors at the time that for recruiting employers pay only when they need a qualified specialist, perhaps a unique specialist, so the main executive recruiting profession does not consider. In general, recruiting companies profile consists of a minimum of 4 or even 6 pieces, so you need to be alert to the possibility that in addition to spending time filling out long questionnaires, you will have to answer the questions of recruiters (most of whom, as well as managers staff in the companies - psychologists). However, please note that recruitment agencies more seriously (of course, for completely different money) are competitors. They will keep your profile, and do not be surprised if you called back six months or even years. EMPLOYER - client recruitment company. Can an employer at the same time to conclude an agreement with several recruiting agencies? You can, however, when signing a contract with a recruiting company in it will certainly be an item on a penalty in the amount of 10 to 30%. That is the amount you will have to pay in the event that an employee, you will find yourself. What is the warranty on the candidate? Warranty period - a period during which you "replace" staff member, if for some reason that you do not fit. Typically, a warranty period is equal to the test date (not always formal, but rather that which secretly installed in the client company). Remember, I wrote at the beginning of the so-called "hack". In what is expressed by this trash, or call it that - lack of professionalism? It's very simple - a recruiting agency should conduct their own hard work (for that, actually, and they paid the money), namely: - Carry out the selection on its own base. - In the absence of candidates at its own expense to put information about searching in the media. - Perhaps use Head-hunting (search and poaching employees from competing or related to the profile of the customer companies). - Selected candidates, corresponding to 50-70% of the original customer requirements. - Conduct a psychological (if specified) testing. - Provide the customer with 3.5 candidates (as specified in the contract) for the final selection. Lack of professionalism in this case is that the customer is often "does not understand" in staffing, and he was starting to tuck all the candidates at the first stage, when the applicant "as if" match your query. Thought about any psychological testing and speech can not be. In any case, I recommend (from experience repeatedly verified) when searching for a candidate to use all possible resources - an independent search (ads, the Internet), search through recruitment agencies, and to attract recruiters. Hope for recruitment is very low at the beginning of the article, I immediately referred to the fact that recruiting - a new kind of business for Russia, and therefore, not yet sufficiently developed. Have a good choice!
