And the best people don't read the recruitment ads - or if they do, they're browsing, not searching. They don't sit hunched over the phone, or leap around the city on the half-chance of a job. You only pay for results, not effort . You don't pay a fee unless you've found the calibre of person you're looking for. Consider the real cost of the hiring process .
Advertising costs money, interviewing takes time.
The actual cost to your company is almost the same whether you do it yourself or hire an agency. The difference is, you get an invoice from an agency, and the cost is tax-deductible. To recruit the right person is an ongoing investment that's well worth the initial fee. And because the fee is tax deductible , the actual cost is substantially less. Instinct and experience are becoming more valuable than ever.
