should they fill positions internally or use a recruitment agency?
The answer depends mainly on three factors:
how quickly you need people, what type of positions are involved and what level of flexibility the company needs.
Companies today are dealing with the same question:
The most common situations include:
- Seasonal and project fluctuations
If a company is strengthening production, administration, IT, warehouse, logistics, retail or any other area only for a certain period, agency workers are an effective solution. - Quick filling of one or more positions
If you need one person or several people at once quickly, the internal HR team may not have sufficient capacity. A recruitment agency can speed up the recruitment process. - Less administration
The agency usually handles the employment law agenda, payroll and onboarding, which saves the internal team time and reduces costs for the company. - Workforce flexibility
For companies that do not want to permanently increase their internal headcount, agency employment or outsourcing is a practical and cost-effective solution. - Expertise and know-how
If you need to fill a position you have no previous experience with, or if it involves a specific candidate profile, it is advisable to turn to specialists. Recruitment agencies have an overview of the labour market, access to relevant candidates and experience with selection even for more demanding or less common positions. At the same time, they can advise on setting requirements, remuneration or the form of cooperation.
When internal recruitment is better
Internal recruitment is more suitable when a company has sufficient HR capacity, plans recruitment systematically rather than urgently, and at the same time does not experience a significant shortage of applicants on the market.
The best solution? Often a combination of both
In practice, a combination of both approaches often proves to be the most effective:
agency employment for operational, seasonal, mass recruitment or specialist recruitment, and
internal recruitment for long-term and strategic positions.
Conclusion
If a company needs speed, flexibility, expertise and savings in HR capacity, agency employment is a suitable solution.
The most important thing is to choose the model according to the company’s real needs.
