How to place candidates quicker as temp recruitment agency

Standing out is vitally important to ensure you are best placed to attract candidates, but how do you achieve this and continually build on your successes?

At Access Recruitment, we have identified the four pivotal methods in which you need to build your agency:

1. Empower your staff/employees

Your talent – the consultants, account managers, resourcers, ops personnel – perform a critical role in leveraging how you move forwards and keeping them productive, yet efficient. We’ve moved past the days of ‘being busy’. Due to the time sensitive nature of placing temps, your agency needs to be well set to manage the incoming requirements, because if you don’t place them many of your competitors will be eager to snap up the opportunity.

With speed of placement absolutely crucial, ensure you involve your staff in designing processes and managing your technology. Being a dictator doesn’t empower your teams around you – bringing them with you, involving them and growing their accountability means they’ll want to go the extra mile and grow your recruitment business.

2. Using recruitment technology to help you build your temp agency

When we talk about technology, we’re sure you’ll have the hardware covered. The recruitment technology we are talking about here is your candidate attracting recruitment website, your intuitive CRM, automated screening of your candidates, the ability to pay quickly and giving you insights to uplift your productivity.

So, here’s a question for you: are you one of the many agencies still relying on cumbersome or siloed systems to manage your temporary workforce? There’s no silver bullet to attracting and retaining candidates, but your technology – now the beating heart of your thriving temp agency – will certainly go a long way to ensuring you place your retained candidates before your competition.

Embedding the right rectech will help you manage your workers effectively by having their availability and compliance status at your fingertips, so your consultants can use their time effectively and not waste it on unnecessary admin.

The days of monitoring candidate compliance and availability on a whiteboard are thankfully receding which is good news for you and your agency achieving your growth potential.

Here’s how to grow your temp agency and succeed with Access Recruitment:

3. Look at your processes to boost your candidate placement effectiveness

Undoubtedly, together with your talent and your technology, the processes you embed are the foundations on which you will build your success. This trio works in total harmony so involve your talent – colleagues – in designing new processes that make you even slicker. At the same time consider your tech, so your consultants are spending more time building relationships and less time sifting through your recruitment CRM or chasing candidates for their timesheets.

Slicker processes enhance your chances of growing, ensuring everyone in the business knows what they’re doing and how you can win more business and attract even more candidates so that you are less reliant on job boards and CV databases.
