Things to Keep in Mind While Choosing a Recruitment Agency in Bangkok

A responsible recruitment agency can help you out in tough situations. Whether you are a job seeker or an employer, you can save your precious time and money by hiring a good recruitment agency. As an employer, you should consider the reputation, approaches, policies and the charges of recruitment companies. These factors may seem small but they will definitely affect your business in terms of performance, goodwill and expenditure in the long run.

Apart from those factors, there are others that will determine the quality of employee and his / her performance. Here are a few things to keep in mind while choosing a recruitment agency in Bangkok :

Your Staffing Needs: You have to be firm in your mind about hiring the employee. You should determine whether you want a temporary employee who can take care of your office work while some of your employees are on leave or you want somebody on a permanent basis to take care of operational work. It depends on your needs whether you want employees who can be assets to your company in the future across all types of work or you want to hire people with exclusive skill sets.

Type of Services: Before hiring any recruitment firm you should conduct a thorough research about their services, practices and reputation. Review their client list and try to talk to their other clients. This will provide you a clear picture about their quality of services.

Type of Candidates: Different companies have a different focus on the experience level of their candidates. It is better to know about this before choosing a firm. Some firms are good at hiring fresh graduates while some are good at hiring senior level employees. You should choose one according to your business needs.

Industry Expertise: Prefer the agency that is familiar with the concerned industry. Their lack of knowledge can become a pain for you. A firm that is familiar with the industry, on the other hand, can help you get the best candidates for your company.

Communication with You: Many agencies only focus on financial profits and they do not care about the quality of services they provide. They use rushed communications and vague promises that will only lead to their benefit and not yours. Understand the commitment levels of the recruitment firm before you pick it from the rest.

Clear Costing: Before hiring a recruitment firm, you should be aware of their charges and industry markups. Different companies have different ways of levying markups. Though all of them are legitimate but the markup rates can be confusing sometimes. Be careful while selecting the firm. Instead of throwing money without proper information, understand their costing and only then decide on the firm.
