Find out how HORNER Recruitment can be your trusted recruitment partner for your next permanent vacancy..

If you are a business owner or manage a business, you will be aware that hiring a new permanent employee can be a time consuming yet vitally important process.

We are going to explain to you some of the true benefits of using a trusted recruitment partner in the search for new employees:

TIME SAVED

Business managers are becoming time poor and are looking for ways to be more efficient with their time.

An agency like HORNER will save you time immediately because we take care of the earliest steps of the hiring process which is often the most time consuming. If you post a vacancy on a job board such as SEEK, the chances are you will receive hundreds of resumes and applications for any single position. Out of those hundreds of applicants, a significant amount will not be qualified or will simply not be right for the job. HORNER Recruitment screening these initial applications and presenting the right applicants to interview will save a great amount of time and effort.

ACCESS TO THE BEST

In addition to sorting through submitted applications, agencies will also have access to the best talent available. Our recruitment consultants have access to passive talent that is currently employed elsewhere and not necessarily seeking new employment. Through networking and premium LinkedIn packages these qualified candidates can work discreetly with the agency when they are looking for a new challenge and opportunity.

In addition, HORNER Recruitment has our own database of active qualified candidates that we can pull directly from.

COST

The recent trend has been to bring recruitment in-house because the thinking is that this will result in a saving of cost to the business. In calculating the financial benefit of such an action, cost needs to be allocated to advertising your vacancy, which can prove expensive if posting single one-off jobs.

HORNER has preferential rate arrangements with all the top job boards, so we can ensure that your job is advertised in the correct places at the most competitive rates.

Administrative costs are not always obvious but also need to be taken in consideration in any in-house recruitment exercise. As stated earlier; sifting through the CVs and initial conversations all take time. Time that could be better spent on other tasks such as direct revenue generation.

Agencies such as HORNER acting as an independent 3rd party can help negotiate the best salary, giving you guidance and advice on what is fair and appropriate, but also what you might need to secure that top candidate whom your competitors may also be chasing!

THE SCREENING PROCESS

The screening process when hiring has several layers and with legislative requirements such as Equal Opportunity and Privacy, it can be challenging to navigate.

Employers need to run background checks on potential employees, follow up with references and conduct preliminary interviews; all within this legislative framework to make sure the candidate matches the promises they make on their resumes.

These are vital steps that just take up time when you are conducting them on your own. Your trusted recruitment partner will ensure these steps are completed before interviews commence, saving time and providing reassurance.

PEACE OF MIND

At HORNER, we have a proven track record of finding the right employees for the job. When you meet with shortlisted candidates, you can feel confident with your final hiring decision. Working with agencies like HORNER, will help you make the important decisions, a more assured one. Stress free!

RELATIONSHIP

Many relationships between the employer/company and the Recruitment Agency start with a one-off recruitment exercise where previously no relationship has existed between either entity.

When that exercise is completed with a successful outcome, a relationship based on trust and understanding will develop and your future hirings will go even more smoothly.

If HORNER Recruitment is that Agency, we will be aware of the qualities that it takes to make the right fit within your company and what you expect from them.

HORNER’s recruitment solution will help you navigate the laws, work within compliance requirements and most importantly find the best person that will feel like a pair of shoes with the perfect fit. Comfortable, easy, and headache-free.
