In order to avoid bad hiring decisions and also to enrich the company with appropriately skilled employees, firms are now choosing to partner with experienced staffing agencies. Such agencies can do the job of human resource management on behalf of the firm.

Hiring the right employees for businesses and companies continues to be a challenge for most HR personnel. A bad hiring decision can be expensive for companies - equal to 30 percent of the annual income of the person who was hired (HOW BAD HIRING AFFECTS BUSINESS BOTTOM LINE, www.punchng.com, 2016). This takes a toll on human resource management. A poor candidate also increases the frustration of the team where he/she is placed. It has become increasingly important to find the right candidates who will remain in a company for a long-period of time. This has made the job of the human resource department in an organization more crucial. Organizations that have a small HR team should consider partnering with an auktoriserat bemanningsföretag when recruiting for important positions. Recently, there has been an increased demand for personnel in Sweden having specialized skill sets, mainly in sectors such as engineering, banking, information technology, etc. (FOREIGN WORKERS: IN DEMAND BUT UNDER THREAT, THE LOCAL SE, 2014). Authorized staffing agencies can help organization find candidates that have such specialized skill sets. Mentioned below are a few factors that businesses should keep in mind when selecting a hiring agency.

This will make it easier for them to choose which type of recruitment agency to partner with. The various categories of recruitment agencies that businesses can consider are briefly explained below:

  • Contingency based agencies – These firms work with client companies by matching the candidate’s qualification and skills with company’s requirements. They might charge fixed fee or even a small percentage for hiring candidates

    • Retained search agencies – This type of agency is mainly involved in recruitment of senior and highly qualified candidates. They receive their fee once the selected candidate joins the client company
    • Temp agencies – As the name suggests, temp agencies mainly hire people for temporary job openings and usually charge the client company at an hourly rate
    • Niche recruitment agencies – These firms deal with hiring individuals that have special skill sets that are not very common and they make sure that the candidature matches perfectly to the client company’s requirement
