Recruiting new employees can be both costly and time-consuming. Many organisations just do not have the resources to seek out new, reliable and qualified employees to fill all the available roles. Whilst employers recognise the value of and the need for the best talent, finding it often has to wait. Human Resources departments face a trial when it comes to ensuring a continuous flow of suitable employees into a business. Hiring individuals who are most suited to the role and fit in with the ethos of the organisation is a huge undertaking. In a fluctuating job market, employers are in stiff competition with each other for the most qualified and desirable staff.
This is why in many cases, employers (in many industries) seek specialist support with regards to recruitment strategies. They charge recruitment agencies with identifying and attracting employees. This can remove the administrative burden for employers as the recruitment company can make sure candidates have the appropriate skills needed and could work well with existing employees. A recruitment company like A&S Recruitment can help organisations like yours find employees to move their business forward.
Are you considering the services of a recruitment company in Felixstowe or Ipswich? If so, here are some of the most important benefits of using a recruitment agency, like us, to hire the professionals you need:
- 1. We Have Access to More, and Better Candidates
The first benefit of using a recruitment agency is possibly the most obvious: we work with both employers who are searching for the best employees, and professionals who are searching for the most promising career opportunities. This means we are ideally positioned between both sides of the process and working with parties serious about their employment/business progression. Recruitment agencies operate as an intermediary between both parties and the knowledge we possess about the recruitment process can be invaluable.
When an employer creates a job vacancy and has established the criteria they require in an employee, we can start finding suitable people for the position. We understand how important it is to find the right calibre of staff to support the wider objectives of running and growing your business.
Another benefit is our extensive knowledge about specific job markets.

- 2. We Streamline Applicants
When employers advertise their own vacancies, they do not always receive applications of the required calibre. When companies are looking for someone with experience or specific qualifications they are often inundated with CVs that don’t fit the bill.
We not only advertise job vacancies in a proactive manner but actively seek out professionals who specifically fit the job description. A&S Recruitment has a database of job seekers ready and waiting for an opportunity for a job like the ones you have to advertise.

Recruitment agencies actively seek to place skilled candidates and negotiate salaries as part of our hiring process. We negotiate on behalf of both parties and agree to a mutually beneficial remuneration package. If both parties are aware of the other’s hopes and expectations from the outset, it ensures there is a realistic prospect of sealing the deal.
