Points To Remember While Finding a Recruitment Firm in Thailand

Human capital in an organization determines to a great extent the success of organizations. It is of great importance for firms to cherry pick and hire the best talent to have the best resources on the bench. The pace of developments and the nature of business or transactions in an organization may warrant the services of a specialist recruitment firm to shore up bench strength. Here are a few points that concerned stakeholders would do well to remember while choosing a recruitment firm in Thailand:

Strong knowledge of domain and the job description and mandatory requirements

A good recruitment firm is one that will have on its rolls, talent acquisition teams with strong domain knowledge of different sectors. This, in combination with the right JD and mandatory requirements, will help in finding the right candidate. A recruitment firm that does not have suitable recruiters and teams to deal with specific domains will end up looking for and shortlisting candidates with unsuitable skill sets.

Screening and vetting process

The screening and vetting process followed by the recruitment firm will benefit the employer in the long run. Therefore, take a close look and seek a a briefing on the process followed. It is mandatory to ascertain the parameters followed for selection of candidates. The recruitment firm needs to have a well-oiled machinery to perform vigorous background verification of the shortlisted and selected candidates.

Extensive database and social media outreach

The recruitment firm needs to possess an extensive and updated database of candidates. This will help in finding the right fit from a wide choice. Having to choose from a small pool of talent will end up in finding a candidate who may turn out to be wrong fit. The recruitment firm also needs to have a widely accepted and respected social media outreach to be able to generate an adequate number of responses on posting of job requirements.

Use of technology and software to weed out duplicates

More often than not candidates upload resumes on multiple CV aggregation sites. Errors occur when outdated CVs are uploaded on some sites while updated CVs are uploaded on certain sites. Recruitment firms that do not rely on advanced software to weed out duplicates will be left looking at same profiles. Recruitment firms that use advanced software will weed out duplicates automatically, resulting in a realistic idea of the number of candidates available.

Structured process flow

Choose a recruitment firm that follows a structured and well established process flow. A haphazard and unorganized response will lead to confusion, and result in timelines going awry. It is important to narrow down the choice of a recruitment firm based on the adherence to timelines. The communication in this regard always needs to be crisp and unambiguous, devoid of any scope for hiding behind wrong interpretations.

It is important to remember that recruitment is a process and that following the right procedure will fetch organizations the right resource. Short cuts and desperate stop gap arrangements have always failed.
