Why do recruitment agencies charge so much and is it worth using their services?

Recruitment specialists typically have databases that help to store and track candidate information and applications and network with candidates as well. They also have established relationships with a wide and diverse network of professionals and job seekers from which they can use to find your company a great fit for a role.

Recruiters external to your organization are also better able to act as a liaison between your company and competition companies to seek for currently employed candidates who may be interested in a change of job.

It is worth using their services if you do not have time to locate a candidate, or the hire is a particularly critical role to the success of your organization.
