If you want to make sure your new
temp is the best fit, don’t trust an agency - you know best.
When life gives you lemons, you make
lemonade. But when a temp agency gives you employees that aren’t an appropriate
fit, you’re out of luck, out of pocket and without so much as a silver lining.
Which is why when you have total control
over the process, you’re infinitely better off.
And it’s not just you who’ll benefit from
greater amounts of control. With job seekers
frequently reporting negative experiences with recruitment agencies, it
becomes clear that as far as this time-worn process goes, we’re well overdue
for an upgrade.
With a tighter deadline in play, hiring for
temp jobs proves to be no exception. If you’re bringing on somebody at short
notice for a shorter period of time, it’s only natural that some of your usual
high level of scrutiny may fall by the wayside. After all, if you’re keen for
an extra pair of hands, chances are you’re pretty swamped with your own work.
The challenge lies in securing the perfect match in conditions that are less
than ideal.
So the ideal solution would be a platform
that enables you to make a decision quickly, easily and with full transparency.
One that allows you to choose your preferred rate of pay, your preferred location
and skill set. One that offers the ability to reach a conclusion based on
unbiased reviews from previous employers. This way, not only are you getting
the perfect candidate for your vacancy, but on the other side of the coin, the
candidate is walking into a situation where he/she can be confident that you’re
a good match.
If you’ve been in a role where you were
hopelessly in over your head, you’ll understand the stress. If you’ve worked a
role that didn’t match your skill set, if you’ve taken on a role that paid
below what you thought you were worth, if you’ve taken on a role at a location
over an hour’s travelling distance away from home … if you have been in any of
these situations, you will understand how essential an appropriate match is for
both parties.
Temp agencies will do their best to assist,
but ultimately they have their own agenda.
They have candidates in their database that they’re desperate to match up – and
it’s this overarching need that will take priority. So their recommendations may
not be the best possible solution for you, or your new employee.
For a simple, fast and effective agency
alternative like the one mentioned above, Temp
Market can help.
Happy recruiting!
