Finding the perfect candidate to take on your company’s newly available role can be a time-consuming and complicated process. While you may know exactly what type of individual you’re picturing for the role, you may not have the crucial network to guarantee that you find them. That’s where a recruitment agency comes in.

Recruitment agencies are experts in finding, vetting, and interviewing candidates, and will use the vital information you provide to narrow down only those most qualified for the role. They have expertise in managing tricky negotiations and facilitating the best possible outcomes for both you and your potential applicants and will work quickly to find as many potential candidates as possible that are suitable for the role. An agency is not trying to waste your time, but rather to use their comprehensive industry experience to give you the best possible choices.

As an independent agency, Workshop Recruitment has the freedom to make decisions quickly and as Bradley in our Manufacturing and Engineering Division notes, “we can be flexible and will put our hand to anything to help out our clients, including negotiating terms, alternative payment methods, we are thinking about the long-term relationship between our businesses.” Bradley also mentions the benefits of getting to know his clients on a personal level, whether face-to-face or over thephone. Building up a rapport allows a consultant to further their understanding of the type of candidate personality that would best fit the role and guarantees a more pleasant experience for all involved.

The team at Workshop Recruitment will use their unparalleled knowledge of the local area, labour market and reputation within the industries they serve to provide a dedicated and supportive level of service. With our team of long-serving consultants, we are able to visit sites and projects; conduct testing and training in the office; and meet all temporary staff before they start work. Our consultants are also known for their specialised knowledge in dedicated sectors, ensuring an in-depth understanding of exactly what to look for to fill relevant roles. Kate from our Construction Division points out, “Workshop Recruitment is renowned for being consistently honest with both clients and candidates and for working closely with our clients to increase our knowledge and build lasting relationships”. Recently appointed, Head of Business Development, Rachel Wardle is keen to point out ‘having worked with numerous recruitment agencies in previous roles, I can see that the Workshop team absolutely go out of their way to build honest, personal relationships with their clients, to ensure they understand their specific needs and requirements. This human approach is not an optional extra or just website blurb its at the very core of what we do’.

Every agency is different, but Workshop Recruitment is recognised for our unswerving honesty and capacity to realise early on when a candidate may not be right for a role. Kerry in our Commercial Division explains, “It is important to understand the office and team ‘fit’ to minimise on time spent at an interview with unsuitable candidates.” When this happens, our consultants are upfront about it and will swiftly find and offer alternative ideas and solutions. Workshop Recruitment endeavours to collaborate closely with companies to guarantee that they have the choice of only the most eligible candidates. This level of personalised support is exactly what makes a recruitment agency, like Workshop so beneficial.
