This is an advantage to the company because recruiting is generally a very cyclical function. Employment agencies offer some unique advantages. Job Fairs can be very effective. Because the applicants may be interviewing with multiple employers, it is imperative to respond quickly with invitations for in-house interviews of qualified candidates. The Internet has quickly become a very popular source of employment advertising.
Employers can post their openings on their own web site, or use an internet job posting site.
State Employment Agencies provide an abundant source of applicants for predominantly lower skilled or entry-level positions. Rehires are another excellent source of candidates. Often employees leave only to find that the grass wasn't greener at their new company. Call them after a few months, and you might be surprised about their willingness to return. Although most agencies charge a fee for placement, employers find the cost nominal compared to conducting the hiring process themselves.
