Lack of talented staff remains a major obstacle for restoration companies. Working with a recruitment agency can help you find the right candidates for multiple roles in your restoration company.

While the significance of a restoration recruiter cannot be denied, employers must invest time in building a fruitful relationship with them. Building rapport is critical to ensure a productive outcome.

With that in mind, here are some things to consider when working with a restoration staffing company:

Assess Your Needs

Before approaching a recruiter, you need to know what you’re hiring them for. In fact, both employers and job seekers must evaluate their goals prior to working with a recruitment agency.

As an employer, you must know the positions you need to fill, the kind of candidates you can match your company’s vision, your company’s long-term goals, how soon you want to hire staff, etc. This information is vital to the recruitment process.

Communicate Your Requirements and Goals

Communication is key. Whatever your recruiting expectations, needs and goals are, inform the recruitment agency.  Being upfront about your expectations from the start is necessary.

Communicate openly and honestly with your recruiter. The better you can communicate with a recruiter, the greater the likelihood they can find the right people for your restoration company.  Along with expressing your goals and needs, give feedback to the recruiter.

Be flexible

Having a recruitment company by your side does not guarantee miracles. Prepare yourself to make some adjustments.  

Follow up

A good recruitment agency offers regular updates to clients. However, if you do not hear from your recruiter, consider contacting them.

To save time, call up your staffing agency for updates. Provide your suggestions, discuss your concerns and give feedback to your recruiter. If you have queries, do not hesitate to ask them.

Similarly, if something goes wrong, take it into account and question the agency. Constant communication with the recruiter will help them find great candidates for your restoration company.
