Why Should Employers Use a Recruitment Agency?

​At Stafffinders, we believe that people are a company's greatest asset. This is why we understand the importance of taking the utmost care when finding the right candidates to best serve an organisation. For over 50 years, our team have been matching the right candidates with the right company, and we continue to witness the positive impact and success these services have had on both our clients and candidates.


Recruitment agencies are usually surrounded by many misconceptions, with the biggest one being the cost. However, using an employment agency to build your team not only saves you money but also saves time and resources, whilst creating a genuine partnership for immediate or upcoming recruitment needs. 

Save time and resources

There is no denying that recruiting new members of staff can be a very lengthy process whilst also requiring a large selection of resources. From writing job descriptions and sourcing multiple CVs to reviewing applications and conducting numerous interviews… tired already? Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for! We do all of the above and more, such as managing all candidate communication, confirming reference requirements and providing feedback, ensuring an efficient and smooth process every time. Recruitment agencies also have premium access to multiple job boards and advertising platforms, which may not be cost-effective or affordable for small companies looking to recruit in-house.


Our team here at Stafffinders also manage payroll for all of our clients, saving you even more time in the long run. Working with a recruitment agency, therefore, allows you to dedicate your time to other essential tasks and appreciate the peace of mind that expert recruiters can source the best talent to suit your organisation.

Exceptional talent market

At Stafffinders, our specialist consultants possess expert knowledge of the industries in which they recruit. They have access to extensive networks of talented candidates and their databases grow regularly. This means that we are able to evaluate a very high-quality pool of candidates to suitably match each role and company culture. Our large talent pool is also carefully pre-screened and referenced, providing you with genuine talent in order to meet demand. We take care of everything, meaning you don't need to worry about a thing.


Recruiting in-house may also mean that you are only receiving applications for the role and not actively seeking the perfect candidate for the job. Utilising a recruitment agency, with a dedicated consultant in your field allows us to explore and hunt down the best talent to fit your company and the role in particular, presenting you with the perfect candidate every time.

Greater flexibility

In addition to recruiting permanent employees for our clients, Stafffinders also supply temporary staff all over Scotland. This is particularly useful for companies who require seasonal help, absence cover or those who experience a demand for projects that need extra support on a temporary basis. For companies requiring temporary assistance, clients have the opportunity to review whether the candidate is a suitable match for their needs. If you believe there is an alternative candidate who would be more suited to the role, rest assured you can confide in us to source a better match.


Stafffinders also offer a rebate period to clients for whom we provide permanent staff, meaning if required, we can process fee refunds if the candidate leaves their position within a given period of time. Therefore, whether you require temporary or permanent staff for your organisation, you can benefit from unrivalled flexibility and efficient adjustments to ensure your company needs come first.

Expert industry knowledge

Our specialist consultants recruit for a living and, therefore, receive first-hand industry knowledge across multiple sectors in order to scan the job market and keep up with supply and demand trends. Most of our consultants also have experience in their particular field and therefore grasp a better understanding of what clients may be looking for and what kind of individual would be an ideal fit.


Creating a loyal and trustworthy partnership with a recruitment agency gives us the opportunity to get to know your business inside out, meaning our dedicated consultant can help support and guide you through the best options with your organisation's requirements in mind. We use our expertise to offer advice on rates, hiring processes, candidate availability and so much more in order to provide you with a tailored solution every time.

Unique assignments

As well as supplying high calibre candidates to over 32 different divisions all over Scotland, Stafffinders are proud to offer a bespoke recruitment service for those unique requirements, whatever they may be for those harder-to-fill roles. You can really come to us for anything, whether your organisation is situated in a remote area, you have specific skill requirements or you are looking for high-profile professionals for confidential positions.


Our services range from confidential headhunting or executive search and selection assignments to devising recruitment strategies whilst being experienced in handling start-up situations as well as dealing with complex recruitment processes.


Man reaching out to shake hands

At Stafffinders, we believe that recruiting is more than just filling job vacancies. Due to the knowledge, expertise and unrivalled resources that an agency has, organisations can save time, money and benefit from highly effective results. Our professional and experienced recruitment team supply the foundations for strong, genuine business relationships ensuring a high-quality service to meet your long-term business needs.
