Every recruitment agency is different, which makes it difficult to know which agency will be your model for success. To have the right partnership in place, you need to know which agency will be looking out for your company and finding you the right people to make your firm grow.

Working with a recruitment agency like Phyton Talent Advisor can be highly beneficial not only to your hiring managers but to your company as a whole. Below, we have put together some of the top traits to look for in a great recruitment agency.

Clear Vision and Strategy: The most successful agencies have a clear ‘reason for why they exist’. This does not have to be a complicated statement but writing down a vision gives the whole firm a focus, gets everyone on the same page and working towards the same goal. Is it to be a trusted recruitment supplier in a niche market, or is it to deliver the best customer service to clients or to always deliver high caliber candidates?

Experience: As we all know, the recruitment agency cannot function without the people who actively search for the candidates. Recruiters from a trustworthy HR agency have extensive experience in the industry that they operate in. This means that they follow the trends, can predict how the demand for specific specializations will develop in the near future and what to do in order to improve the recruitment processes.

Extensive portfolio: To make sure that the recruitment agency is credible, it is worth checking its portfolio. Clients’ referrals in the B2B environment are the most reliable source of information about the company, and they help to build the service provider’s trustworthiness.

Advanced recruitment tools: As tech has advanced, the number of tools in a recruiter’s toolbox have too. Doing Boolean search? Sure. Using job posting sites? Of course. However, reputable recruitment agencies do not rest on their laurels using once-developed methods of operation, but constantly strive to improve their techniques and strategies. They do not shy away from investing in new recruitment tools that help in automating and streamlining the process of hiring.

Longevity and turnover: Find out how established the agency is and how long the recruiter you’ll be working with has been there. If they have a high turnover rate, your agency may not have developed long-term, established relationships with employers. For you, that could mean the difference between getting an interview and being ignored.
