Is Outsourcing Suitable For My Company?

The use of Recruitment Process Resourcing/Outsourcing recruitment by companies is increasing in last few years. But as a Director or HR leader how will you know this suits you or not? Here we will discuss few things to help your decision making and more specifically for engineering recruitment companies.


Engineering recruitment outsourcing can take its shape in various forms. A good place to start is how much recruitment your organization is carrying out and whether there is a need based on the volumes of hires you make? Ultimately you are considering recruitment outsourcing because you have a problem with your current recruitment. You need to look at what this problem is specifically.


• Is HR not capable of making enough direct hires because they have not got a recruitment background?
• Is there so much volume that your HR department cannot cope?
• Are you planning to embark on a heavy recruitment drive?
• Are you looking to cut costs in HR / agency fees?
• Are you just sick of dealing with agencies directly?
• Is HR slowing the HR process up?

The list goes on and on. Once you have evaluated your problem and realized the specific need you want to address, you are now in a much more informed position to make a decision on whether outsourcing is right for you.

Outsourcing your recruitment can help you to solve several problems but there can also be pitfalls and lack of control. Sometimes outsourced companies can create more problems, adding tiers to the recruitment process and prolonging the cycle from time to hire. So be careful while looking for an outsource company.
