This is especially true when it comes to recruitment consultancies, and as a job seeker or employer looking for a recruitment agency to assist with your search, it can be tempting to go straight to the big names in the industry. After all, they must have the resources and expertise to help you find your perfect match, right?
But have you considered the benefits of choosing a local recruitment agency instead?
In this blog, we will discuss why using a local recruitment agency has added benefits for you or your business.
Getting a Personal Service
One of the biggest advantages of using a local recruitment agency is the personalised service you receive. Local recruitment agencies, like ours at Anna Maher Recruitment (AMR), are often smaller and more agile than big corporate companies.
This means they can tailor their services to meet the specific needs of their clients. For example, the team here at AMR are made up of Anna Maher, a specialist in Rec2Rec recruitment, and Rachel Keeton, a Business-to-Business specialist. Our family-run business has a deep understanding of the recruitment industry and can provide expert advice and guidance to both candidates and clients.
Another bonus when you work with a local recruitment consultancy is you get to speak to the same expert from beginning to end of your recruitment journey. This means that you receive a boutique, bespoke service tailored to your specific needs.
Supporting your Local Community
By using a local recruitment agency, you are supporting local businesses and helping to strengthen the local economy. AMR is based in Sheffield, and we have over 25 years’ experience within the recruitment industry. We’ve proudly built a reputation for providing exceptional service to their clients and candidates in the South Yorkshire region.
Get the Best Industry Knowledge and Expertise
Local recruitment agencies have a deep understanding of the local job market and the specific needs of their clients. This means they are better equipped to provide tailored advice and guidance to candidates and clients. At AMR we specialise in REC2REC and Professional Services recruitment and we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in these areas.
We’ve built strong relationships with clients and candidates in the South Yorkshire (and wider) regions making use well-respected within the industry.
And because we are specialist consultancy, we have a deep understanding of the professional services sector and the local market. Working with a local agency, and experts in the recruitment process, means you’ll get valuable insights and advice as both job seekers and employers.
Cost-Effective for Businesses
A local recruitment agency is far more cost-effective than using a big corporate company to help with your recruitment needs. Local recruiters often have lower overheads than big corporate companies, which means they can offer their services at a lower cost.
But it’s not just about the monitory value, using a local smaller agency can also mean you’re getting a better service! At AMR we realise how important it is to come out and meet with clients face to face to get a clear understanding of what you are looking for and who we feel would ‘fit’ into your business.
We’re the Consultant that visits you and we will be the Consultant that manages your vacancy from start to finish – a clear point of contact that many larger companies simply can’t offer!
Flexibility
Small businesses are often more agile and flexible than their larger counterparts. They can make quick changes necessary to survive and respond to events without having to consult a head office. This means that a local recruitment consultancy like AMR can tailor their services to meet your specific needs and make any necessary adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
Pride on being unique
Local businesses are unique because they are usually run by passionate entrepreneurs who take pride in their brand. At AMR, we are not just a faceless corporation – we are a family-run business with a personal touch. You’ll either speak to Anna or Rachel, or both of us, and we want you to get to know us as much as we want to get to know you!
Satisfaction
Self Employed individuals in the local community take enormous pride in a job well done. They are involved in all aspects of the business, have creative freedom, and receive personal satisfaction from seeing their business succeed. This means at AMR we are motivated to provide excellent service and satisfaction to our clients at all times!
