​While regular recruitment companies may fill roles in every business sector, specialist recruitment agencies concentrate on a specific industry and niche. Specialist recruitment agencies provide services and other benefits that organisations may not be aware of.

In this blog, Network Recruitment will outline why organisations should consider seeking help from specialist recruiters who have industry specific experience.

They save your organisation time

Organisations that are looking to hire may not necessarily find the time to facilitate an effective hiring process to get the ideal candidate. This is especially true in highly specialised industries such as IT, Finance and Engineering. For example, if an organisation posts a career opportunity online or via other media platforms, only a fraction of the applicants would embody the complete package of education, skills and experience required. Most organisations don't have the time to vet all the applicants.

Specialist recruiters, on the other hand, are trained to critically review a career opportunity, vet a candidate's resume and immediately recognise whether they have the right skills for the company. Only suitable candidates will be processed for consideration, thus saving your organisation time and ensuring a hassle-free recruitment process.

They reduce hiring mistakes

Not only do specialist recruiters understand the industry jargon associated with an industry, they know how it works and which particular skills can benefit your organisation. They possess technical knowledge that allows them to ask relevant questions to ensure that the candidates are competent and capable of fulfilling the required roles. They will find Java Developers, Artisans or Cost Accountants who are experienced, have the right skills and who are going to fit well into your company culture.

They have high calibre candidates

Specialist recruiters have a database of highly skilled candidates that could take organisations years to build. As a result, they can provide organisations with high calibre candidates that have outstanding achievements and strong work experience. Furthermore, specialist recruiters constantly interact with potential candidates in the marketplace through social media platforms, seminars and conferences, ensuring that they continuously grow and develop their networks in niche areas.

They have industry knowledge

In addition to saving your organisation time, reducing hiring mistakes and having access to high calibre candidates, specialist recruiters have sound niche market knowledge. They are in a position to advise organisations about the current state of their niche market and current talent pool. In addition, specialist recruiters are able to advise on what the market-related salary is for specific career opportunities.

Although an organisation will be required to pay a recruitment fee, making the wrong hiring decision is more expensive than making the right one. Working with a specialist recruitment agency should be viewed as an investment. Specialist recruitment companies can add value to yourorganisation's hiring process especially when you need to fill a specialised contracting or permanent position.
