If you decide to use an agency you should agree fees - including advertising costs - and terms before you appoint. Be clear about whether you want to recruit a permanent or temporary worker and the length of time needed.Agencies have databases of candidates and can advertise on your behalf. If you do not appoint, you do not usually have to pay a fee.
What to tell the agency Name and nature of your organisation. Date of work commencement and duration. Position and type of work. Location, and terms and conditions of the job. Risks to health and safety known to you and preventative measures. Experience, training, qualifications and any authorisation needed or required by law or any professional body..
Advantages of using employment agencies It saves time. You can try out temporary workers before employing them permanently. However, you may need to pay a fee if a transfer from temporary to permanent takes place..
Disadvantages of using employment agencies Lost time if they are not able to find a suitable candidate. Expensive - you may have to pay an agency up to 30 per cent of the employee's annual salary (or equivalent for temps).
