The importance of recruitment agency management

The recruitment industry is both highly fragmented and unregulated, this means temporary agency workers are provided by multiple agencies with varying business terms and quality standards across numerous locations.  Successful recruitment agency management is essential for organisations using temporary agency labour.  Inefficient management of recruitment agencies can result in poor quality spend, legal exposure and limited control over ongoing agency performance.

Measures can be taken to allow businesses to maintain high levels of performance whilst using additional temporary agency workers.  These include keeping tabs on your preferred agency list and encouraging active involvement in agency labour usage.  When recruitment agency management is done properly it can allow firms to remain flexible and responsive to changes in the market.
