January is the Month for Organisation!

“For every minute spent organising, an hour is saved!”

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to even think about getting organised, let alone act on it but now more than ever is the time to re-organise and plan to update your preferred suppliers list. With an increase in competition for quality candidates – you need to have access to them!

Is it important to refresh your Preferred Suppliers List?

The simple answer is absolutely, yes! The job market as we know and without dwelling on the negatives has changed dramatically. Employers are recruiting differently and candidates are more fluid than ever before. You need a Recruitment Partner that has adapted to the changes in the market, can WORK for YOU and has the ability to attract quality candidates. You may have worked with an agency for many years and of course you may feel a sense of loyalty but it is important to assess how they are working for your business and look at how they are fulfilling the specific jobs. Time is of the essence and never more so than now, after all 1 of the reasons behind why you have a preferred suppliers list is to save you time and money long term. Investing some time and refreshing this list will be time well spent ensuring your Recruitment Partner(s) are working at an optimal level for you, providing you with exactly the right kind of recruitment support needed for your business with access to quality candidates.

Here are a few pointers together to think about when refreshing your PSL list:

• How many agencies do you need to work with?
• Where are the agencies located?
• What skill set do the agencies specialise in?
• What is the history with the business?
• Should I look for a 2 tier approach?
• How do I know the agency is selling my business to candidates?
• Do I know their terms and fees?

Regular optimisation and management of the list is needed in order for efficiency and of course results. Here at Xpert Resourcing, we take a fresh approach to recruitment. What is that fresh approach?
