## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What are the benefits of using a recruitment agency to hire staff?**
A: Using a recruitment agency offers several key benefits for businesses, primarily saving time, money, and improving candidate quality. Agencies have access to extensive job boards and CV databases, pre-screen candidates thoroughly, and manage the hiring process, often filling vacancies within weeks. They operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, reducing upfront financial risk. Additionally, agencies provide local market knowledge, interview management, and post-placement support, ensuring a better fit and reducing turnover. The agency handles candidate communication and expectations, which frees up your internal team to focus on core business activities. By leveraging their expertise and resources, companies can achieve faster recruitment times and higher-quality hires compared to going it alone.

**Q: How much do recruitment agencies typically charge?**
A: Recruitment agencies typically charge a fee of 15 to 20 percent of the candidate's first-year annual base salary for permanent placements. For hard-to-fill, specialist roles, this fee can rise to as high as 30 percent. The fee is a one-time payment, due only after the candidate successfully starts work, with many agencies offering a free replacement guarantee for a period such as 30 days if the employee leaves prematurely. This structure shifts the initial financial risk to the agency, as they invest in advertising, screening, and assessment before receiving payment. Some agencies may charge lower rates for volume or exclusive contracts. It is advisable to discuss fee structures upfront and request a clear breakdown of services included.

**Q: What is the difference between a recruitment agency and an employment agency?**
A: A recruitment agency primarily focuses on filling permanent positions, charging a one-time fee when a candidate is successfully placed and starts work. The employer becomes the direct employer of the candidate. In contrast, an employment agency supplies temporary or contract workers who remain employed by the agency; the client pays an ongoing fee for the duration of the assignment. Recruitment agencies handle the full search, screening, and selection process for permanent hires, while employment agencies manage short-term staffing needs, often with quicker deployment. Understanding this distinction helps businesses choose the right partner based on whether they need long-term talent acquisition or flexible, temporary coverage.
