Most companies recognise staff to be
their most valuable asset and so take
their recruitment needs very seriously.
The main benefits we have identified
based on feedback from the clients we
have worked with over the years are:
Experience, professionalism and market
knowledge
|
An established agency like Oil
Recruitment aims to build lasting
relationships with its clients by
passing on the full benefit of its
experience.
We are happy to visit you at your
offices prior to taking on a role, as
this allows us to experience the culture
of your organisation first hand and
better describe your operation to a
potential employee. From this point
forward, we will be representing your
business, pre-screening and interviewing
candidates with all the professionalism
our clients have come to expect. At Oil
Recruitment, this process involves
obtaining references as a matter of
course and researching lapses or breaks
in employment. |
Specialist agencies like Oil Recruitment
have a good understanding of the salary
expectations of candidates in particular
job roles and we have access to salary
surveys to ensure you
are paying the correct rate. |

Objectivity & Anonymity
Externalising your recruitment generally
allows a more objective evaluation of
candidates’ motivations because often in
an interview situation a candidate will
say what they think the interviewer
wants you to hear. Using a recruitment
company will preserve your anonymity,
which will also allow you to approach
competitors should you wish to.
Promotion and wider access to candidates
The agency will deal with all aspects of
advertising your project, offering
expertise on the best places to
advertise and how to attract the most
suitable candidates.
Agencies often have access to several
different sources of candidates
including an in-house database of
candidates and commercially available
CVs. It is also worth bearing in mind
that in a recent survey conducted by The
Chartered institute of Personnel and
Development (CIDP) 36% of employees said
they would ideally like to change jobs
in the next year. We stay in touch with
the candidates on our books and will not
hesitate to contact them, even if they
are no longer actively looking, should
the perfect position arise.
Cost-effectiveness and guaranteed
results
Many agencies will cover or contribute
towards the cost of meeting and
interviewing candidates, advertising
positions, researching the job market
and short listing applicants. Fees are
generally charged on completion once a
job has been filled although for some
specialist appointments where a
‘headhunting’ approach may be
appropriate, a project-based fee will be
incurred.
Some agencies also offer a replacement
or refund policy should the chosen
candidate leave or prove unsuitable
within an agreed period from the start
of employment.
Time-saving
Only a shortlist of suitable candidates
will be presented to the employer, often
with a personalised assessment by the
agency. This helps reduce the amount of
time the employer has to spend on
interviewing non-relevant candidates.
Associated recruitment services
Agencies such as Oil Recruitment offer
associated services including
psychometric testing, salary advice and
on-site interviewing facilities, which
can be crucial to the success of your
project. |
