Finding candidates this way will also decrease the screening time and is very inexpensive. It also allows the company to reach individuals over a large geographic area. This method tends to be fairly expensive. This process can work in two ways. Employers can either search through the thousands of resumes already posted on the web or they can post their job opening and give the details as to what is necessary for one to apply.
Employment agencies are good when a company needs to hire someone in a hurry.
Employment agencies take care of the pre-screening proccess and can provide the company with detailed background information on the applicants. Selection of outstanding employees is usually fairly low with this method, especially for upper level type positions. Temp agencies are similar to employment agencies in that they take care of the pre-screening process. They also are good when you need a temporary employee to fill in at a position or just need an employee in a hurry. Companies are more likely to find people qualified for upper level positions at a temp agency than at an employment agency.
