If you are a business owner and are looking to hire someone for a vacancy you have then you have two options; you can either manage the recruitment process yourself or you can chose to use a recruitment agency. There are advantages and disadvantages of doing both, but you can save a huge amount of time by using an agency to fill the position. Without having to worry about advertising the job yourself and then carry out interviews etc, you can let the recruitment agency handle all of this for you. Obviously there will be a cost involved in this but many agencies only charge if they find you a suitable candidate. Also often the cost is less than it would have cost in your time and advertising fees should you have decided to advertise it yourself.

If in doubt you could always trial a recruitment agency and you may even be able to get a reduced rate the first time.
