For the busy HR professional, achieving ‘zero percent’ agency usage is a reoccurring dream. Many face multiple challenges when striving to solely recruit directly, for example, finding the resources to manage a vast quantity of roles all of a sudden, or having to fill positions requiring niche skill-sets.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that external agencies are often enlisted to support the process. The job of a traditional recruiter is competitive: they work fiercely on behalf of their clients to fill positions. As such, it is naturally tempting to use multiple agencies in a bid to gain a broader selection of candidates.
But, hand-in-hand with the relief external agencies provide comes the task, for HR professionals, of having to manage them.
So, how do you oversee them? Here’s where recruitment software comes into play.
Dig deeper into the functionality of applicant tracking systems, such as Fusion, and busy HR professionals will be delighted to discover the ‘Agency Portal’.
