Building a recruitment agency seems like the easiest thing in the world, until you have one that is. Then suddenly what seemed like such a simple process of picking up the phone, conducting interviews, making placements and collecting payments turns into a horribly complicated affair.

That’s it, you’ve finally made it. You saunter out of your appraisal meeting with your boss and you’re walking on cloud nine because after months of hard graft and proving yourself, you’ve been given the go-ahead to build your own desk. You start dreaming of the clients you’ll bring on board, the team you’ll hire, the other offices you’ll open, perhaps even global, you think about Dubai for a second because, well sunshine, and you even envisage telling your mum about your new-found career success and maybe then she’ll realise that London is the land of opportunity and stop asking you to move back home. THIS. IS. IT. This is a next step to growing your recruitment agency.

The clock starts as soon as you’ve sourced your candidate, or when they apply, and will continue ticking right up to when they accept their offer.
“Time to hire” is one of those all-important recruitment metrics that you just can’t hide from, and tracking it can help to answer key questions about your recruitment business’s processes:
- How long do your consultants take to identify that the candidate is right for the role?
- Once identified, how fast do your consultants move to hire the candidate?
- What barriers are holding up the recruitment process?
There’s nothing more infuriating than a slow hiring process. It can come from internal processes or slow clients that have yet to refine their own processes, but either way, it’s annoying and slows down things for your candidate, which leaves you at risk of losing the candidate.
