Employment Agencies are private companies that are basically like brokerage firms. They match people with work positions.
These Agencies can be very helpful. But - don't forget they're in business to make money.
Their cost can outweigh their benefit(s). Look carefully at any guarantees they offer.
Most of them operate on a commission basis. For each successful match, there's a fee to be paid. Either by the company that's conducting a Search for Employees or by the people looking to be employed.
Find out the exact cost and who pays before you use one of these companies.
Employment Agencies can save you time. And connect you with people you can have trouble reaching yourself because you're already working all day.
It's still a surprise to learn of another new way computers and the Internet are improving the quality of our lives. Making our tasks so much simpler, easier and faster.
Employers are now able to recruit employees on-line.
There's software that lets an employer or Employment Agencies completely automate the recruiting process. They can process resumes they get in printed form, on disk, by email or directly on their Web sites.
Another approach that has gained in popularity is the job fair.
Job fairs take some finances to create and maintain a booth for the duration of the fair. And most likely some part of the advertisement costs.
But - the main investment is time.
Some fairs last a week. But the average time a fair lasts is three days.
Most employers send their assistant managers or top employees to station the booth.
There's been a good rate of success for both employers and employees through this avenue.
There are also job lines.
These are the recorded telephone messages any person can hear when they dial a company's number, usually the Personnel Department. You can find out what the current openings are with that company, requirements and how to apply.
These can be quite effective as well. For those who are aware of and know how to use them.
Then we move on to the old standby - written advertisements in the local newspapers.
The cost is very little. It's just the time factor you'll need to think about.
Some employers have reported being able to fill their position within 24 hours of placing their ad. Others report it taking much longer. One to two weeks.
There are companies who can get away with advertising in their workplace window(s) and there are those who can't. Only your company can make that decision.
As you can see, there are a number of avenues you can explore when you Search for Employees. And they're all good in their own ways.
Give each one a try. Or even use a combination of them.
